Just an interesting item I found out today... Dennis Haysbert who plays David Palmer on 24 also played Pedro Cerrano in the Major League movies. Also, the actor who plays 'Fearless' on Boomtown was 'Bubba' in Forest Gump. Anybody else have some actors who played other roles that you would generally not think of them playing?
Actually, when i first started watching 24, all I could think of was Cerrano and his inability to hit the curveball! I've been watching season one again on DVD. Man, even knowing what's going to happen, the drama and action and all that is awesome.
"Perhaps you should consider accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior." "Ah, Jesus - I like him very much - but he no help bat with curveball" "Are you trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?"
Did you guys know that Bruce Willis in the 6th Sense also played John McClane in Die Hard? It truly is a small world...
Did you know that Kiefer Sutherland, who plays Jack Bauer in 24, the killer in Phone Booth, and countless MCI and MGD commercials, is Donald Sutherland's son? Amazery.
Amazery indeed! That reminds me...did you know that Cuba Gooding, Jr played Tre Styles in "Boyz N the Hood", Rod Tidwell in "Jerry Maguire", AND Corporal Carl Edward Hammaker in "A Few Good Men"?? Incredible...
Whoa, did you know that Marky Mark's bro was in New Kids on the Block and that they sucked? This one is gonna knock your socks off, did you know that Marky Mark is now known as Mark Whalberg, the star of such hit movies as Boogie Nights, The Perfect Storm, Three Kings, and his latest, the Italian Job?
Guys, you're not going to believe this, but Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez are brothers! BROTHERS! HOLY CRAP!! Also, Tori Spelling of 90210 fame is actually Aaron Spelling's DAUGHTER! Wowsers! And if that wasn't enough to blow your mind, the Olsen twins are actually REAL-LIFE TWINS AND SISTERS!! NO JOKE!
Patrick Stewart, aka Captain Jean-Luc Picard in 'Star Trek' played a flamboyant gay drag queen in the movie Jeffrey. Seeing him in that role was pretty surprising.
The fat kid in "Stand By Me" is Jerry OConnell, star of television (Sliders, Crossing Jordon) and terrible movies (Scream 2, Mission To Mars, Tomcats, Kangaroo Jack)
