Wait. What?

Charles Foster Kane's mom is also Endora?

I'm so confused.

This is up there with the Major Strasser/Gwynplaine/Cesare thing.

I need to make a list of actors being in unexpected places. Like how Shatner's adorable wife on For the People is Lucille Bluth. I know I have more, I just can't remember right now ( Read more... )

I could go on and on, but for now I'll just say BRIAN FRICKEN BLESSID. I mention it cause it's true and because he just popped up on Blake's 7.

Vincent D'onofrio has done that to me a couple times....

Interesting. I'm not sure I've ever been surprised by him after the fact, though, like "OMG that was Brian Blessed?"

In my family this experience is called "getting a crawford", from many years ago when my mom and I almost had a hernia laughing when we discovered that Michael Crawford, so elegant as the phantom of the opera, was the bumbling annoying comedy relief in the Hello Dolly! movie.

Not so remarkable, but it's sort of gone down in our family history.

Before Phantom he was primarily known in the UK as the slapstick comic lead in a long running sitcom called "Some Mothers do 'ave 'em"

I was going to mention that--that's my primary experience with "getting a Crawford." I was into Phantom, and someone sent me the series on video. Amazing.

The "transformation" of Crawford is, indeed, very interesting. Because once I saw it, I couldn't un-see it, in video of him as the Phantom.

It actually makes me laugh at him a lot, now.

'Tis true, Ms. D: Agnes Moorehead is both. She is also in the equally brilliant Magnificent Ambersons. The surprise ones she pops up in are Dark Passage with Humphrey Bogart and the Douglas Sirk melodramas from the '50s: Magnificent Obsession & All That Heaven Allows.

Oh, I think Fanny is her best role. But "Bewitched" is a far greater surprise!

Micheal Keaton, even in a very short span, surprised me as Batman and Betelgeuse. It still unsettles me.

my_daroga August 25 2010, 20:36:29 UTC

Oh, that is an excellent point. Yeah, that still gets me, a little.
