Movie Connections

[Pete Zicato]

You watch enough movies, you start recognizing people. Sometimes obscure connections pop up. I love those.

That latest I ran into while Mrs. Z and I were watching Key Largo (first time for both of us). Even though I barely remember the show, I noticed that the Osceola brother with the speaking part was Jay Silverheels who played Tonto on The Lone Ranger.

In You've Got Mail, the cashier that doesn't want to let Kathleen pay with credit card is the first part for Sara Ramirez who plays Torres on Grey's Anatomy.

My favorite - Owen, the truck-driving country boy with the nasal issue in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is Dylan Baker - the slimy lawyer in Disclosure and the department store owner in Simply Irresistible. It's hard to believe the guy who played Owen could play those other parts.

Anyone else?
