Smack dab in the middle of the movie’s big scene, it always happens.
Everything gets tense for the big courtroom finale or championship football game, and then all of a sudden the defense attorney or opposing coach turns out to be that guy from some other movie and you just can’t stop thinking about where he’s from.
Wait, was he the prison guard in Shawshank? Or the lawyer from Miracle on 34th Street? Or, no, no, no, I got it. He’s the knife guy in From Dusk Till Dawn.
AWESOME!

Clancey Brown – The Curgan in Highlander, my favourite movie!

Actually, I think you’ll find that he’s the knife guy from Once Upon a Time in Mexico, and the vampire bar tender from From Dusk Till Dawn, both of which were directed by the same man.

Possibly the most awesome thing you have posted so far. Many’s the time I have shaken my girlfriend awake in the dead of night to enthusiastically exclaim:
“He was the bad guy in Cliffhanger!” or “He was the burglar in Ghost who gets killed by that falling sheet of glass”
Awesome squared if there are several of you trying to remember who ‘that guy’ is at the same time, and you authoritatively raise a solitary finger, nod sagely at your companions, and bestow your supreme film knowledge upon those around you.

So THAT’S where I seen him before.

I recognised him from Carnivale but research has shown that he is Mr. Krabs, Lex Luthor and Dr. Neo Cortex! What a portfolio

The first guy is in the Spy Kids movies, he plays Uncle Machette.

The best, most awesome thing, is when you REMEMBER where they’re from, your roomate/friend/family member disagrees, you look it up on IMDB, and you are RIGHT.
But even when your wrong, just shouting out what they’re from in the moment with such conviction…
That’s AWESOME!
