woah
I just saw the end of Dazed and Confused on tv.
It's been maybe ten years since I've seen it, and although I remember loving it and so many of the performances in it, I had forgotten what great actors/stars had a role in that before they hit it big.
This is the list of the people I enjoy (not neccesarily the Streeps/Oliviers of their time, but I like seeing them in th' flickahs)
(this is cast order)
Jason London - Jeremey's brother, dude from Aerosmit's "Amazing" video
Rory Cochrane - Empire Records, CSI Miami
Adam Goldberg - lots of shit including: Private Ryan, the Hebrew Hammer, and all-around funny mofo
Anthony Rapp - Adventures in Babysitting, the asshole in Road Trip, and, oh yeah... RENT!!!
Matthew McConaughey - c'mon I don't have to spell it out for you, although his role in Dazed is probably my favorite
Marissa Ribisi - Giovanni's twin sis, Tracey Takes on
Cole Hauser - School Ties, Good Will Hunting, Pitch Black, Paparazzi, father of Cynthia Daniels's child (damn)
Milla Jovovich - LeelooDallasMooltiPass...
Joey Lauren Adams - Chasing Amy
Ben Affleck - [quacks]Alleck! Affleck! [/quacks]
Parker Posey - everything except that damned pepsi commercial with that fucking Jimmy Fallon
Nicky Katt - subUrbia, Boston Public,
Renee Zellweger - that Asian girl who tortures Kathy Griffin with kindness.
and oh yeah, she "had me at"... "No revealing clothing!!!!"
Richard Linklater is cool cool
