He isn’t in the suit, but does the voice and appears in flashback/dreams Brendan Fraser's temporary fall from stardom apparently had to do with him being sexually assaulted by some director at a party and not being willing to play along. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I remember from that movie is Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt tying themselves to a pipe with a leather belt. Oh, and the little transmitters getting sucked out of the back of the truck. And I'll level with you - I never saw Days of Thunder until I was in college, so for me that movie was more like a NASCAR-branded version of Top Gun by the time I saw it, rather than something of its own. Cary Elwes makes a great antagonist though. He was the "bad guy" in Twister. My nomination would be John Murray (one of Bill Murray's brothers). Was hilarious in Moving Violations and then never popped up in anything else that I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code Monkey | 2,011 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Giovanni Ribisi - probably my favourite actor David Duchovny - Playing God is a great movie Hugh Laurie - was he in much before House? I know not much after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a point where he was accepting just about any role put in front of him, which is why he was in stuff like "A Talking Cat." A couple friends of mine who work on low budget film projects nearly landed him for a role in something (fell through on their end.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also starting to make inroads in American media. He was the dad in the two Stuart Little movies, and was in the remake of Flight of the Phoenix (he was on the set of that when he auditioned for House.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: and for something more recent and more serious in tone -- everyone who even remotely likes Tom HIddleston should watch The Night Manager. Hugh Laurie is an excellent "Bond villain".

I call Eric Roberts the "Second* hardest working man in the business", because he shows up all over the place. My guess is that Mr. Roberts is someone who just likes acting, which is why he says yes to crap like "It's a Talking Cat" *Who is the hardest working man in the business? James Hong. Seriously, that guy shows up *EVERYWHERE*. Most will know him as Lo Pan in "Big Trouble in Little China", but he's been out there doing character work since the mid 50's.

SilverspoonGaming | 332 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I have always loved everything that Judge Reinhold does and I dont think he gets enough credit. One guy from the 80s that never blew up like he should have was Keith Coogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
