The Joy of Watching Old Movies

Rewatching old movies I often tend to come across actors before they were who they are today (or words to that effect).

Name the movie and where we know this guy from today (google is cheating have some honour):

    Damn YOU !!! I know this guy, and I love this game . . . like seeing the Skipper from Gilligan's Island in Hang 'em High with Clint Eastwood.

    Which, of course, is the entire point. Sort of like Charles Napier . . .

    and before you say "who?" He's the leader of "The Good Ol' Boys" band in the Blues Brothers Movie.

    If you watch enough Law & Order and The Sopranos you see the same pool of extras (and sometimes bigger stars) pop up in both shows. I assume they both used the same casing agency in NY.

    Here's an easy one that I also enjoy. This actor was in SW: TESB and had a role on a major sitcom

    Wow, that's impressive...I didn't think anyone would get it based on that picture. Unless....you recognized him and googled his imdb? :)

    It's amazing how many "character guys keep popping up in "mob" shows/movies. Seems like being ethnically identifiable can be quite a decent little career.

    I don't have cable and sometimes download (shhh...FCC) old TV series to watch when I'm bored. In an old King of Queens there is an episode where Doug gets manhandled by a bunch of now well known UFC fighters.
  • MiloMilo
    Yup, because he is a huge fan of the sport.
