<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Viggo Mortensen was in Daylight, too <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> He was? Wow, I'm totally ignorant. Who did he play?<BR>Also, I heard that Faramir is in the Crocodile Hunter movie. I forgot who he plays, though.

Elijah Wood has been in alot of movies:<BR>Forever Young (One of my favorites!)<BR>Flipper<BR>Back to the Future II<BR>Deep Impact<BR>The Falculty<BR>The Good Son<BR>North <BR>Radio Flyer

[Raefindel]

Ian McKellenhas more than can be listed. My favorite is the "Scarlet Pimpernel"<P><A HREF="http://www.mckellen.com/index.html" TARGET=_blank>Ian McKellen's Homepage</A>

[gayare'dion]

i dont think elijah wood would be old enough to play in this movie, but in the movie myth, witch i havent seen in a while, but he looks like the one character, withc is either an elf or an imp. also tom cruise is the main character in that movie

[Mallornleaf]

this is a cool thread! <BR>goodness these are a lot of movies! everyone took most of mine but there's a few I think you missed.<P>don't say a word=Bean<BR>black hawk down=bloom<P>and I know cate blanchett was in several movies that came out last year, but I can't remember what they were called. I wanna say that one of them was Catherine "something-or-other", but I don't know.

[Gayalondiel]

Viggo was in the remake of "Psycho" (shame really, its appalling)<P>And of course Christopher Lee has his numerous "Dracula" incarnations

[Waenfalathiel]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Titanic - Hill(Theoden) <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>can someone tell me who he played<BR>also Sean Bean was in don't say a word

[Ravenna]

Sean Bean - Patriot Games<BR> - When Saturday Comes<BR> - Goldeneye<BR>John Rhys-Davies - Ivanhoe<BR>Ian McKellen - X-Men.

[greyhavener]

Liv Tyler was in That Thing You Do and Armageddon<P>Am I crazy or isn't Elrond in The Matrix?

[Gorothlammothiel]

Yes, Elrond, or Hugo Weaving was Agent Smith in the Matrix

[The Green Ringwraith]

So THAT'S where "Agent Elrond" came from!! *goes to rent Matrix*

[Anna Licumo]

Liv Tyler was also in "Inventing the Abbots". It was this weird T.V. movie I ended up watching on a trip. There was this one part where she has her hair up in a tight bun and her flannel shirt is rolled up at the sleeves... And don't forget the scarf she's wearing when she's in her convertible! Eerie... I had the weirdest feeling to yell "Arwen! No cheating on Aragorn! I'm going to tell your father if you keep this up!" So I did.

[arelendil]

anyone said Sean Bean - Sharpe (does that count okay technical it's not a movie)

[Emni Windrunner]

Ian Holm was also in <I>A Life Less Ordinary</I>, and Elijah Wood was also in the Disney movie versions of <I>Oliver Twist</I> (shudder) and <I>The Adventures of Huck Finn</I>.<p>[ July 30, 2002: Message edited by: Emni Windrunner ]

[pherostien]

Cate was in The Shipping News. And did you know that Hugo is the voice of rex in Babe.

[Emni Windrunner]

He <B>IS</B>?!?!?!?!! ROTFLOL!

[Dimaldaeon]

Which one of the actors was in Shawshank Redemption?<BR>Is the guy who plays Faramir inn The Crocodile Hunter?

[Brionna]

I can't believe that no one has added "Crimson Tide" in which Viggo Mortenson played one of the submarine sailors. He's sooo cute in it! <P>And my favorite Ian McKellan movie is "Richard III;" wow, he's good in that. <P>**P.S.: I didn't think the "Psycho" remake was that bad... it was, afterall, a shot for shot remake. It had it's moments, I thought. And what fabulous actors! But I digress, as usual!

Wow, I'm totally ignorant. Who did he play?<BR> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>He played the rock climber who tried to climb up through one of the ventilation shafts and ended up squished when it collapsed. A small but distinguished role.

[nevfeniel]

*gasp* That was <I>him</I>?!?!?!?!? I <I>never</I> would have recognized him!

[arelendil]

i always think that the guy from Highlander looks like someone but i can't remember who. i used to love Highlander, especially the theme - i am immortal i have inside me blood of kings... any one else seen it? my friends think my going crazy but it used to be on sky one. <B>IT DID!</B>

[dragongirlG]

I can't believe you guys haven't mentioned Viggo in <I>28 Days</I>! <P><A HREF="http://us.imdb.com/EGallery?source=ss&group=0191754&photo=8&path=gallery&path_key=0191754" TARGET=_blank>Click here to see his picture in the movie</A><P><I>What Lies Beneath</I>...who was in that?

[Catherine]

Orlando Bloom was in Black Hawk Down, he is a hottie!!

[Mrs. Frodo Baggins]

Miranda Otto (Eowyn) was in What Lies Beneath, I think.<P>What??!!? Faramir in Moulin Rouge?<P>Liv Tyler was in One Night At McCool's, also.<P>I'm glad someone mentioned Forever Young <P>And who can forget The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert?<BR>It just happens to feature Elrond...<p>[ August 04, 2002: Message edited by: Mrs. Frodo Baggins ]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> i used to love Highlander, especially the theme - i am immortal i have inside me blood of kings... any one else seen it? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I still love it! I think it's a wonderful show, and wish that I could find a channel that airs it. The only thing that I didn't like was the killing of Connor in the most recent movie. I think we could've gone without it. ((At least it wasn't Duncan! ))<P>Anywho, I have nothing to add to the list, but we really shouldn't be surprised. These actors have done many films, and there are many actors in this, to boot. It makes sense that we're getting tons of movies. ^_^

[Morai]

Oh, and by the way, Elijah Wood has done voice acting in "The Adventures of Tom Thumb and Thumbilina"

[greyhavener]

I liked Highlander too. I didn't know one other person who watched it, thanks for making me feel like less of a wierdo.

[Celebmornie]

Orlando was in a movie called 'wilde'. <BR>Dont know who he played but oh well hes in it!

[Vardadurwen]

I went to that link showing Viggo in "28 Days". I barely even recognized him!!<BR> <BR> And I do remember Elrond from "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert"!! That was definitely a weird movie lol.

[Boromir's Lady]

Love, love, love the Highlander movies! Especially the first two!<P>And Marton Csokas (Celeborn) plays opposite Vin Diesel as the bad guy, Yorgi in xXx

[Brinniel]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Titanic - Hill(Theoden) <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> can someone tell me who he played <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>He played the captain. He was an excellent look alike for that movie, and was one of the better actors.

[Anastasia]

I dont know if people have said this yet, but C.Lee was in 007- The man with the golden gun as Scaramanga... he was like a cousin of the producer or smth like that.

[Nevtarmawen Greenleaf]

i just saw a movie with john rhys-davies in it but i forgot what it was called. he was like a scientist that had to help some guy put a nuclear bomb in LA. weird huh?<BR>

[Tirned Tinnu]

I'll add Viggo for ThunderHeart. <BR>Chris Lee for The Mummy (my fav of his roles) <BR>Ian Holm - try Henry V (with Brannagh) <BR>and Night Falls on Manhatten (an excellent movie where he plays a NY cop.)

[Diamond18]

I already mentioned this in a similar thread, but Andy Serkis (Gollum) played Bill Sikes in the latest Masterpiece Theatre version of "Oliver Twist". This isn't the Disney one Elijah was in. It's much darker, and Serkis is very, very scary as Sikes. Psychotic.<P>Ian Holm was also in the Masterpiece Theatre version of "King Lear" as the man himself. He was Victor Frankenstein's father in Kenneth Branagh's version of that worn-out tale.<P>BTW, Tirned Tinnu, who did Ian Holm play in Henry V? I watched that movie a couple months ago...but I can't remember noticing him.<p>[ October 11, 2002: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]

[Tirned Tinnu]

Ian plays Fluellen, who argues so with ancient Pistol - (who was played by Sir Robert Stephens, my favorite voice in the acting world, who also played Aragorn, in the BBC Radioplays.) <BR>*Tinnu looks sad and sniffles* <BR>I wish he had lived, he would have been a stunning Aragorn...

[Novlamothien]

I <I>knew</I>the Captan Smith in Titanic looked familliar. He looks alot like the real Captan, so much, in fact, that it's uncanny. <P>We musn't forget <I>Pirates of the Caribbean</I>, Orlando Bloom is in that one. <P> For all of those who go "What?!" to this movie, it isn't out yet, though there are previews all over the place(at least in my neck of the woods)<P> Namarie

[Calenamarthiel]

Cate Blanchett was in this movie called "Heaven" with Giovanni Ribisi.
