Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted June 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2011 So the missus is away on a hen do, and obviously I took the opportunity to have a Big Lebowski night, drinking a few caucasians and watching the cracking film. Â When it hit me that 'Blonde Treehorn Thug' was Jacob from Lost. Â Lost brings up quite a few classic TV actors in films, M.C Gainey being another, just wondered who folks' fave TV actors in films are? Or who that one actor everyone notices seems to be?

Paid Members Fox Piss Posted June 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'v only just noticed that 1 of the best T.V actors of the last 6 years get his chance to shine in film. Â That actor being the great Kyle Chandler in Super 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted June 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2011 If you're into HK movies from the 70s-90s, theres 6 or 7 guys that in almost every film ever made there. Â Peter Chan must have been in more movies that any actor of that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 When I watched Anchorman at the cinema, I got chuffed seeing Seth Rogen as a glorified extra a few times in it. I'd only watched Freaks and Geeks about six months earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Not 'films' as such, but I've noticed on the reruns of Quincy recently that Busmalis from Oz crops up quite often as one of his mates when he's womanising in the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.PeterVenkman Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Ian McShane, AKA lovejoy is in pirates  Always remember watching Sexy Beast for the first time and thinking how weird it was watching him thrashing around taking it up the arse off James Fox when all I'd see him in before was Lovejoy pissing about with that old bloke he was always with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.PeterVenkman Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Not sure I'd call him a "TV actor" more than a movie actor but I'm pretty sure Robert Prosky turned up in just about every American TV show and movie ever made, though that might be a slight exaggeration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
