Posted October 31, 2007 I was watching the Daniel Day-Lewis film of The Crucible today, and aside from being a passable adaptation and a good way to attend a seminar and pretend I'd slept properly, it has some crackin appearances from a bunch of 'that guy' actors- people you recognise from all kinds of sub poster grade acting roles across hollywood. It took me a few moments to realise that one prominent character was Jeffrey Jones from Ferris Beuller's day off and Deadwood. On top of that, That Guy supremo Bruce Davison took me a good 2 thirds of the movie to place as Senator Kelly in x-men. On top of that, I saw him in an episode on BSG, couldn't place his face and have only just now realised it was him. so- who is the ultimate that guy? who are your favourites?

Posted October 31, 2007 but everyone knows who he is. Technically, as soon as that happens you're not a that guy anymore. He is everywhere though. tru fax. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 31, 2007 ah, man, there's always a guy in a film that I recognise from somewhere... Indeed often it's the same dude in EVERY FUCKING FILM for a period of a couple of weeks, but to be honest I really don't ever remember their names :/ Oh!! That guy with the metal arm fromk Starship Troopers. Damn everywhere. But I love spotting a familiar face and spending the next 30 mins of the film trying to remember where I saw him/her before. Happens every film. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 31, 2007 The definitive "that guy" is that Chinese dude from every single 80s action film, like Die Hard and Lethal Weapon. He always seems to get killed too http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0502959/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
