Movies you appear in without your knowledge! (1 Viewer)

[Scott Weinberg]

I was joyfully scanning through IMDb aimlessly and was looking at some info on North by Northwest, when I noticed something pretty neat: Jimmy Stewart plays a guy named George Kaplan!
Using the oh-so-groovy "Character Search", I discovered that many of the HTF regulars have also appeared in various movies without their knowledge. (Keep in mind that these are the character names, and not the actor's...)
George Kaplan:
North by Northwest (1959)
Hudson Hawk (1991)
Robert Crawford:
King of the Texas Rangers (1941)
Breaking Up (TV movie - 1978)
Finding Forrester (2000)
Brian Lawrence:
Brookside (TV series - 1982)
Jack Briggs:
The Broadway Boob (1926)
Rain:
Dark City (1998)
Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1987)
Husbands and Wives (1992)
...and a few others! Rain is a movie star.
Alas, I was unable to find any appearances by Scott Weinberg, Alex Spindler, Steve Bergeron, Jason Whyte, Dana Fillhart, Mark Pfeiffer, Robert George, Seth Paxton, Matthew Chmiel, Jeff Kleist, Parker Clack or Ron Epstein (which seems weird to me as I thought it would have returned SOME result).
Let us know if you've been in any movies!

 

[Brian Lawrence]

You forgot to mention My 3.45 era and 84 strikeouts while pitching for the Padres
I do tend to get around a lot Me, Me , Me & Me

 

[Scott Weinberg]

Brian,
Didn't fellow HTFer Andy Sheets used to be a Padres shortstop as well?

 

[Rain]

As I began scrolling down the list, I was thinking "there's no way he'll have found any with people named Rain in them." Evidently, I stand corrected.
Damn, and I told them to change the name to Alan Smithee for Mortal Kombat. Those bastards!
Incidently, I happened to notice a couple of weeks ago that we have a new member by the name of Joel Cairo.

It may have been without my permission, but it wasn't without my knowledge.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Hey, I was the assistant director in the Rugrats television series!
Damn I'm proud!

 

[Scott Weinberg]

Rain,
Yours was a bit different in that you (much like ALF, Yoda and Morpheus) have no last name. Despite the relative uniqueness of your first name, there were plenty of "Rain"s returned on the search.
Plus, Juliette Lewis played you magnificently in Husbands and Wives.

[John Spencer]

Well, I've had a busy career in movies.

Now where my royalty checks are, I'm not real sure.

 

[Steeve Bergeron]

I'm unknown! :frowning:

 

[Brian Kissinger]

Damn, I was never in anything. All the better. That way when I gain stardom, I shall not be confused with anybody else.

 

[SteveGon]

I was in a movie once! But you probably don't want to hear about that!

 

[Brett Hancock]

Damn theres alot of Brett's for first names and alot of Hancock's for last names but nobody in any aspect of film making has found the winning combination like my parents did. Maybe I will do something to get on IMDB......

 

[John Thomas]

Jack Briggs: The Broadway Boob (1926)

1926? Another jab at ol' Jack.
As far as actors, I was most pleased with the selection of John Wayne to portray me in The Undefeated. (It's the only actor that has done so that I recognized) :p)

 

[Steve Enemark]

I'm still reeling from the revelation that Jimmy Stewart was in North by Northwest!
AFAIK, I'm the only Steve Enemark on Earth, and I haven't made any movies.

 

[Dome Vongvises]

Unlike other Asian names like Kim, Tsung, Liu, or what not, I'm the only Tanachat Dominic Vongvises on this planet. And this forum mind you

 

[Alex Spindler]

I should have told you that my name before I changed it was Indiana Jones. See if you have better luck with that one.
It's been a personal quest of mine to seek out Spindlers in the movies. The highest profile one I've seen (by accident as it were) was Wilford Brimley playing Ted Spindler in the China Syndrome. This begins a long stream of other highly trained Spindlers that have been Dr's, teachers, and professional athletes. Of course, the Doctor was from a Girl's Dormitory movie...

Got me, Steve! I of course meant William Holden.
