Movie Connections

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?

I'm terrible at this, but Carl the janitor from The Breakfast Club is at the blues club in Weird Science, where Anthony Michael Hall does a great drunk scene.

I guess this game is meant for the small time character actors, not somebody like that guy who played Han Solo and then Indiana Jones?

No way! Is that true?

Generally - unless you happen to be watching re-runs of The Virginian (60's western tv show) and you happen to spot him in an episode.

So, you mean like when Robert Redford was in that episode of Twilight Zone? Those are okay?

Carl the Janitor from the Breakfast Club also played Nick Knight's partner, Detective Schanke, on Forever Night.

How 'bout commercial guys? Like this guy. He was in the Capital One, 'Whats in your wallet' commercials and now he's doing movies - like Get Smart.

Oh yeah. But you have to name the episode.

In general, if you're watching a movie/tv show and sit up and say, "Holy shit. That's the guy/gal from xxxx." Then you've got an interesting movie connection.

Oh, so like in order to play I have to rely, not on my general knowledge of trivia, but actually be watching something and go ... oh, oh, that's that dude?

Try to avoid descriptions of the episode. I originally had typed a great big spoiler about the episode, which is what prompted me to look up the title.

Was watching a cheerleader movie yesterday called "Fired Up" (highly recommended BTW), and noticed that the cute lead boy was in an episode of "Cold Case" a while back. He played the back-in-time version of the boyfriend of a murdered transgender girl.

There were a few other actors I recognized, but I can't say from where without looking them up...would that be cheating?
