Swift Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 This was always my favourite thread on the previous board. Today, I just found out and am stunned that Uncle Phil was the voice of Shredder in those Turtles cartoons.
Cliff Hanger Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 On the subject of "voice casting weirdness" I just found out that the kid who plays Jojen Reed on GAME OF THRONES is also the voice of Ferb on PHINEAS AND FERB. Even weirder, the dad is Richard "Riff Raff" O'Brien of RHPS fame.
Ellsworth Toohey Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Just saw an episode of The Untouchables where Robert Duvall showed up as a jazz band leader who helps Elliot Ness combat a protection racket.
Burgundy LaRue Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Grandpa Huxtable as Panthro still makes me scratch my head.
Brian Fowler Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 And look up the credits on the Thundercats theme song...
piranesi Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Back in the days when Nick at Night was around, and ran old 50s shows, I was watching DONNA REED and George Hamilton showed up as a teenager dating Shelly Fabares. Even at seventeen and in black and white he managed to look thirty-five and orange. 2
Brian Fowler Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 James Lipton, if memory serves? Yeah, and that just blows my mind continually.
Johnny Sorrow Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I keep picturing Granpa Huxtable yelling "Theo, keep your foot off that blasted samoflange!" 2
J.T. Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 James Lipton, if memory serves? Yeah, and that just blows my mind continually. I think that is an internet hoax, folks. IIRC Jules Bass (co-founder of Rankin / Bass and also a composer) penned the lyrics and Bernard Hoffer composed the music for the original Thundercats theme song. I'm not sure if Cracked.com ever posted a retraction but IIRC all references to the Thundercats theme song in Lipton's musical bio at IMDB have been removed and the correct musical credits are now listed at IMDB.

Burgundy LaRue Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 J.T. kills dreams and maims hope. He drowns inspiration in the rivers and flings its limp body into oceans. No heart beats as loudly as when it feels J.T.'s cold presence close to it. In other words, IT WAS REAL TO ME!
RIPPA Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Just stumbled across this this morning... you will see why I am posting it 1
piranesi Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Arnold Schwarzenegger played Loni Anderson's husband when Loni Anderson played Jane Mansfield in an ABS made-for-t.v. movie in 1980: It's actually great casting, as Jane Mansfield was married to Hungarian Mr. Universe winner Mickey Hargitay. But still, weird to see Arnold doing schlub t.v. movie work just before blowing the fuck up.
piranesi Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Just stumbled across this this morning... you will see why I am posting it Nice catch! It's kind of weird how perfect he is for Sorkin's preferred deadpan. It's also weird how much he looks like Curt Hennig's son.
Ellsworth Toohey Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Funny seeing a (very) young Adam Scott as the helmsman of the USS Defiant in Star Trek: First Contact.
pipGofern Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted this in the Man of Steel thread on the old board the day before it finally slept with the fishes:
Swift Posted August 10, 2013 Author Posted August 10, 2013 Just saw a trailer for a movie called Getaway, and couldn't figure out out who the old, grizzled guy was. I figured it was either Anthony Hopkins, Jon Voight or Rutger Hauer. IMDB ended up telling me it was Voight, and I wondered what he'd been up to lately. Y'know that Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 movie that's currently #1 in IMDB's Bottom 100? Well, not only was he in that. He also appeared in Baby Geniuses: Baby Squad Investigators and the upcoming Baby Geniuses and the Treasures of Egypt, and Baby Geniuses and the Space Baby. You have to wonder how a person's career gets to that stage.
Burgundy LaRue Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I've been saying for years that Angelina Jolie needs to put dear ol' dad in a home for his own professional good. That list of movies proves my theory.
piranesi Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 and Baby Geniuses and the Space Baby. Wait, THE Space Baby? Because that's a huge get. 2
RIPPA Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted this in the Man of Steel thread on the old board the day before it finally slept with the fishes: That was probably about the same time she did the blink and you miss it West Wing appearance (she was one of the farmers when Toby, Josh and Donna get left behind in Iowa)
Lazlo Woodbine Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 You have to wonder how a person's career gets to that stage. I just assumed all the shitty roles were to fund the plastic surgery that's morphed him into the freaky looking waxwork we see today.
