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.

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?

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

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.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.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.[ October 11, 2002: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]

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.) *Tinnu looks sad and sniffles* I wish he had lived, he would have been a stunning Aragorn...

I knewthe Captan Smith in Titanic looked familliar. He looks alot like the real Captan, so much, in fact, that it's uncanny. We musn't forget Pirates of the Caribbean, Orlando Bloom is in that one. 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) Namarie

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