sidcow Posted September 8, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Wow, I didn't realise that Gina Davis was that old. I saw a bit of Earth Girls are Easy the other day Not a movie but the other day there was an old A Touch of Frost episode on and a very very young Damian Lewis in it.

Mark Albrighton Posted September 8, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2021 Probably not quite the thing you’re looking for, but I was reading about Joan Rivers the other day and I stumbled on her sole directorial venture featuring an early role for Billy Crystal. This is sixteen years before the film “Junior”. The film also marks the beginning of the film career for Michael Keaton. Currently rated at a mighty 3.1 on IMDb. I’ve mentioned it before but it surprised me when I found out that Arnold Toht from Raiders of the Lost Ark, the baby eating Bishop of Bath & Wells from Blackadder and Harris from Porridge were all played by Ronald Lacey. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the swimming episode one? FYI the girl who played the pretty blonde married Keith Allen. A couple of early Jeff Goldblum appearances, Annie Hall and Death Wish. Sigourney Weaver also appears in Annie Hall. Not so much as blink and you’ll miss her, more like squint and you may see her. Jake Gyllenhaal is Billy Crystal’s son in City Slickers.

GarethRDR Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Veering away from films, Xena: Warrior Princess is an absolute treasure trove... Nathan Barley had a pre-breakout Benedict Cumberbatch and Ben Whishaw... ...and I'm not even going into X-Files, would take far too long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eidolon Posted September 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Not an actor as such but this is the one I think of immediately, a lot of people know that Hot Fuzz's Nicholas Angel's ex Janine is Cate Blanchett under the hazmat suit but it took me at least until years later to learn that the Father Christmas who stabs Nicholas through the hand is LOTR Director Peter Jackson.
