You may have to be a bit of a film buff for this one, but it blew me away.

The guy playing Cassius, the be-wigged Colisseum announcer in Gladiator:


Was the "swingin' London in the 1960s" photographer in the 1966 classic film Blow Up:

The Austin Powers as a fashion photographer schtick ("Show me love! Show me love, baby!") was inspired by this movie character.

Saw this one the other day and was floored.

Jonathan Banks who plays Mike Ehrmantraut in Breaking Bad plays Victor Maitlands main heavy in the first Beverly Hills Cop.

When you see it you can’t unsee it on BHC but I had to look it up on IMDB.

Breakfast Club to Community. They make the meta reference by saying he was a nerd when he was a kid.

Yeah, we've had some in this thread post the same actor/actress from movies that were like less than ten years apart.

How bad does that piss you off? I gotta admit it aggravates me too. “I just realized the guy who played the dad in Malcolm In the Middle is Walter White from Breaking Bad.”

This is the one I was an a-hole about, six pages ago:
quote:

Connie Neilsen was

Lucilla in Gladiator

And Christabella in The Devils Advocate

Those movies are three (!) years apart, and she literally looks identical in both.

I was an a-hole and posted that Steve Carrell played both Michael Scott and Prison Mike.

I don’t care if the movies were only a few years apart. I just realized that was the same kid.

I'm not the authority on the matter, but this one doesn't fall into the Giancarlo category for me.

While we are discussing Giancarlo, I had not seen Taps in probably twenty years, and I had NOT realized that he was one of the upperclassman officers.



Once you see him, there is zero question it is him, but it IS a role that I had forgotten.

We could talk all day about this guy and his roles. He has pages and pages of roles listed on IMDB. He may not be the most-famous guy in Hollyweird, but he as stayed BUSY.
