Paid Members Thunderplex Posted June 13, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 13, 2011 We used to play a game called "Len Spotting" at work, where you got 5 points for a TV show with Jim Norton in it, and 10 for a movie. Â He's been in shitloads. Oh aye. Didn't he play someone's butler or something in that one episode of Frasier? Â He did indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I love watching all the old shows like 'The Professionals' and 'The Sweeney' on ITV 4. The amount of "That's whats his name" actors who crop up in those is silly. I remember an episode of The Professionals where Fred Elliott from Corrie was a spy hanging around a cemetery. And in one episode they seemed to have half the cast from Scum in it (although sadly they never got round to buggering anyone in a greenhouse!) The Gary Oldman film 'The Firm' is god for that too - Benny from Grange Hill, Jim McDonald from Corrie and Mickey Pearce from Only Fools, Phil Mitchell from Eastenders all combined the Hollywood goodness that is Mr Oldman. it's like they took one major player from every TV show!

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted June 14, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2011 Not sure if it counts, but I marked a little when I realised the actor who plays Commissioner Loeb in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight was also the voice of Sgt. Slipper in the Dennis The Menace UK animated series, as well as the voice of various TV adverts and more recently, The Cube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â He was in Coronation Street quite recently too, and has been in Black Books. One of those actors that seems to turn up everywhere - mainly because he's got a great voice. Â EDIT - I see that the Dark Knight was mentioned - that also features a fleeting appearance from Mandy from Hollyoaks, as Eric Roberts' bint.

Paid Members seph Posted June 14, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2011 Not a movie, but whilst watching a season six episode of Seinfeld the other day, the gay german out of Allo Allo cropped up. I know the guy you're on about. He seems to pop up a lot in those crappy Sci-Fi channel TV Movies a lot now. Usually playing a meany. Â He also played a dockmaster in one of the first scenes of the first Pirates of The Caribbean film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted June 14, 2011 Moderators Share Posted June 14, 2011 At the time when she was leaked as being in the cast, there was speculation that she'd be playing Harley Quinn.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 14, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2011 The first Matrix had a few Australian TV actors in it - IIRC, it was largely filmed in Sydney, so this would explain it. The girl with the white rabbit tattoo was that Greek bint from Heartbreak High (Woyzeck can confirm), and Mouse was played by Damien from Home & Away. Â Also, X-Men: First Class features <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler Suze from Gimme Gimme Gimme as Xavier's "mum".
