YES!!! William 'the asshole in every 80s movie' Atherton!!! I almost fell out of my chair when I saw him in LOST!!! the same with the guy who played the Indian guy in Short Circuit whose name escapes me (I think it Seth Fisher but I'm probably wrong)

WHHHHAAAT?? How could you not remember Daniel Craig?

Pee wee was also in Matilda, right? As an investigator?

I saw Predators and it took me about an hour to recognize Adrien Brody...and then about the rest of the movie I argued with myself whether it was really him. WEIRD
