Just a Quick Thought

He’s my guy. The next hapless victim of my recent obsession with actor-obsessing. But who is he? And what do you think? Over the next 11 months I’d like to break down the roles and movies this man has been a part of and attempt to explain how his presence has left an indelible impression on each of those projects. Let me know what you think of the upcoming feature in the comments below!

If you are curious about the other actors I’ve profiled so far, all you need to do is bounce on up to the Features menu up top and find the sub-heading ‘Actor Profiles.’

Once again, thanks for reading and being a part of the journey!

Why, of course! And if you squint really hard you can see General Palpatine in the lower right-hand corner

Excellent! I’m hoping that many of the posts I won’t have to do *too* much research for. I found that, as the JCR Factor went on, I had to actually watch new films just to get through the year. Haha. As much stuff as Reilly had been in that I had seen, there was just as much I hadn’t experienced yet so that was an interesting challenge. Giamatti, however, is like the white Samuel L. Jackson. He’s everywhere

  Is he?! I can’t say I notice him nearly as much as I do Jackson. You’ll probably get the same sort of comments from me as you did with JCR – “Oh. He was in this? I don’t even remember him in this!” 😉

    Comments like that though make me feel as if I have succeeded. I love hearing that, that I’ve alerted someone about a role they didn’t know about before. I think that’s mostly why I’ve continued doing this feature. 😀

      It’s a great feature! And that’s awesome that you assumed I was too lazy to look him up… ;-p (I WAS! Lol!!) I’m actually not gonna look at all he’s been in, though. I want you to surprise me! 😉 The only one to really pop into my head right away was Sideways as I liked that one a lot.

        Nah, I didn’t assume you were too lazy (I already know you are. 😉 ) No, but for real. I linked that just b/c that’s the easiest way to show how many things that guy is in. It’s seriously nuts. He might not have very prominent roles in some of them but there’s no denying his ubiquitousness. (How do you like that word?) Tom Little, the walking fucking thesaurus. This is why I don’t have any friends.

        I think people who use big words end up spending most of their lives completely alone. Which is fine with me.

Emma! Wonderful to see your smiling face around here! Very glad to see you, and thanks for chiming in. Looks like I didn’t do a very good job of concealing the guy — of course, he does have ‘one of those faces,’ doesn’t he? I look forward to sharing this feature with everyone over the next several months. Cheers!

    He does, and he’s in such a range of movies I think covering him over the course of a year will be a reasonable task.
