Where we at with obscure movie details?

[Patrick O'Neal]

The actor who played Gus Fring in Breaking Bad was in Trading Places.

 

[Mr. Faggotry]

He’s also in about fifty other 80s and 90s movies. Always plays the same character, can never tell if he’s a nigger or a spic.

Yeah, that's Giancarlo Esposito, he's been a working character actor since the early 80s. He's been in a shitload of movies. Interesting "Early Life"

I would still consider him whiter than the Cumia boys.

The craft services lunch menu on Day 17 of shooting LA Confidential didn't have any french fries due to the fryer being broken. Dave apologized and said they'd have a replacement for the dinner menu, but it was too late. Someone already joked that he was fryered.

Nobody remembers who.

 

[analeggsalad]

he makes 2pac look like Terry Crews

The turtle club scene in master of disguise was being filmed when the planes hit the towers on 9/11.

 

[Patrick O'Neal]

Ok. So apparently this is about as 'obscure' as the sun on a cloudless day. My apologies!

Can someone else chip in (what's that?) and save me from another embarrassing attempt at starting a thread.

 

[Udders]

He was also in Usual Suspects.

I recently watched The Firm, that's a 'whoa it's that guy' hall of fame movie.

[aRTie02150]

You guys remember when he was on Serch's show? Well so does nobody else.

It was embarrassing as usual. @PumiceT comment? If you're still active.

 

[Jim-sucks-shit]

An actor being in another role isn't a movie detail you dumb nigger.

 

[fenrir]

Hey, did you guys know that James Earl Jones was the voice of Darth Vader?

I'm going back to obscurity for more gems like this one.

No homo but I think he was really good looking. Always knew he had something exotic about him.

That actually really hurts my feelings because you're using both sarcasm and reaction gifs in the same post.

What an interesting fact! I bet not many people knew that before this thread! It's all starting to pay off!

(no gif this time, I promise)




























I lied.

The person who played Pat on SNL was a girl.

 

[NortheastPhilly]

He was also Buggin Out

He was also Buggin Out

No way!

I knew that Samuel Jackson was in that (he also played a small part in Coming To America but fuck me for thinking that is an interesting detail, right?).

But I had no idea that the actor who played Gus Fring was also in Do The Right Thing.

Thank you for sharing that.
