BFTD Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Probably already mentioned, but as we're doing Corrie characters, Alf Roberts is A Big Man In Bad Shape in the Michael Caine classic Get Carter. Not linking his more famous scene due to spoilers, as it's a cracking film! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I thought Fred Elliot was in Dambusters and went to check-apparently not, but Patrick McGoohan is an uncredited "guard on door" so it wasn't a complete waste of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 At the time I probably only knew of Pam Ferris in passing as the mother in The Darling Buds of May. Recently found out she was Ms Trunchbull in Matilda. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Surprised I haven't mentioned this before, but Jim Belushi is an extra in the Brian De Palma film The Fury. Supposedly he made such a c**t of himself in the single scene that he was in the background of, they chucked him off the set. Despite that, he managed to squeeze himself into almost every shot, and is very noticeable as he's wearing a pair of cut-off jorts. Bizarre to watch John Belushi's untalented brother desperately trying to eke out a few seconds of screen time. I'd say which scene, but you can't miss him. It's a good film anyway, just watch it and see for yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Michael B. Jordan in The Wire. Recently started re-watching it and it took me a couple of episodes to figure out who he was. He's some looking boy now! Absolutely have to re-watch The Wire soon, still for me the GOAT. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 There's a 1955 film called Geordie with Alastair Sim and Bill Travers about a Highland athlete who goes to the Olympics. It's not bad. The part of Geordie when he was a boy is played by Paul Young. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Already mentioned Death Wish 4 earlier in the thread, but the original was on the telly last night and I was reminded that Jeff Goldblum makes a frankly embarrassing early appearance as "Freak #1", along with Christopher Guest with a brief role that sadly doesn't go up to 11. The internet recently decided that Denzel Washington was an extra in one scene, and it really does look like him in one shot, but apparently not. Counsellor Troi of Star Trek: The Next Generation is a rape victim in one of them (#3?) and apparently had some terrible experiences with Michael "do you know who I am?" Winner, which should be of no surprise to anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
