Hey! It's "That Guy from that movie"!

[vandammage]

This thread is dedicated to "That Guy/Gal" that you have seen a million times in movies but dont know who the hell they are.

My post is dedicated to Al Leong. If you have seen an action movie in the past 15 years you have seen his azz!

I love the character actors that are "That Guy" (or girl).

How obscure are we talking? Many of the "That Guy"s I grew to love are pretty recognizable.

James Remar (The Quest)
Carey-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Rising Sun)
TomKat's cousin William Mapother (MI:2)
A Cameron favorite Jenette Goldstein (Aliens, T2, Titanic)

My favorites:

Will Patton (Remember the Titans, Armageddon)
William Fichtner (Go)

uh... good choice... one thing I always wondered... did that guy make shitloads of money with all these movies or did he do so many movies to make any money?!!?!?

[masherscf]

You're talking about the "Character Actor." They're basically actors that play certain types. They're cast not as actors but as those types. Many of the best character actors become full-fledged stars. Others are always recognized as "They guy from that movie."

My favorite has got to be Chris Cooper.

[jonathanlondon]

Is Al Leong the guy in Last Action Hero who gets an ice cream cone in his head!?! If so, he's the best!

[vandammage]

I always wondered that myself. I think he was mainly a stunt man and kinda fell into acting (if you can call it that...I dont think he has said more than 2 words in a movie.) Do stuntmen get paid good bank?

Yes, that was the mighty Al Leong!!!

[funnelfish]

I have been obsessed with this guy since I first saw him in Spiderman:

http://ia.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/94/20/00/10p.jpg

His name is Jesse Heiman.

You might remember him as a featured extra in:

Spiderman
Old School
Rules of Attraction
Entourage
and lists of others... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1035503/

He most recently was in a Vonage commercial.

Please tell me you've talked to Jon about this.

We went to high school with that kid (he graduated in '96 with my sister and one year ahead of Jon). He ruined Spiderman for me. You should totally watch Old School with the commentary on and skip to the scene with all the characters in the diner. The director and stars talk specifically about Jesse and point out how his weird facial ticks made editing a lot more difficult than it should have done. There's one point where he seemingly smells his glass of water and makes a face like it was a dead body. It's funny stuff.

[losojosdemuerte]

My character actor needs to introduction. A God among character actors.

He will be featured in the upcoming movie "GRINDHOUSE."

Animal Factory
Bubble Boy

Jesse Heiman is my hero. My big retarded hero.

That is insane! The reason I became aware of him is because of his out of whack faces. That and he always seemed so... sweaty. Is he any good? From the limited talking roles he has had it doesn't seem so. But still... he got to have naked chicks on him in Rules of Attraction. (And we have the same birthday... a few years apart)

[graham]

Is he any good?

If by good you mean "he found out a way to get paid for being weird" then he's great. There is no acting whatsoever in what you see on screen.

Did you guys ever do Theatre together in school? And would that we could all figure out how to get paid for being weird...

He was a senior when I was a freshman and he hung around with the kids in my grade who got beat up regularly. We all seriously thought he was retarded.

[ariastar]

"That Guy From That Movie!" could make a hilarious sitcom about some two-bit actor always shown up by his older brother who isn't in films, but does something nerdy, yet everyone recognizes the brother by name and "that guy" only as "that guy from that movie."

I'm hoping his last name isn't pronounced how I think it is....

Hehe... You should TOTALLY get him in the Drome!
