Absolutely memorable in Thieves' Highway. Surprised it's not streaming on Criterion's service even though it's still in their DVD collection.Aunt Peg wrote: ↑Wed Jul 10, 2019 8:56 amValentina Cortese

Re: Passages
Freddie Jones had a couple of great Hammer roles late in the cycle of both the Frankenstein and Dracula series, with the Professorial brain donor in Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed and another Professor in The Satanic Rites of Dracula.
He has an amazing run in the early 1980s with not just The Elephant Man but the performance I'll always remember him for as Thufir Hawat, with the amazing eyebrows and getting forcefully heart-plugged in Dune. He has a number of deleted scenes from the theatrical version. (He's also briefly in Wild At Heart)
In non-Lynch roles of that time he is a voice in the darkest Disney animation, The Black Cauldron. And he turns up as the narrator having a touchingly tenative romance in Federico Fellini's stage-bound cruise trip And The Ship Sails On.
Apparently a couple of years ago he did a voice for the English langauage version of Dragon Quest XI!

Cheri Oteri did an okay version herself later on.Blutarsky wrote: ↑Tue Jul 09, 2019 1:07 pmMost of those All That sketches teeter on surrealism at a point. For me though, I was born in the heat of SNL election coverage. Having Carvey playing Perot and the late great Phil Hartman as James Stockdale will forever be ingrained in my memory.Feego wrote: ↑Tue Jul 09, 2019 11:44 amAs a kid in the 90s, I was more familiar with Perot as a subject of sketch-comedy ridicule than as a political candidate. The impersonation on Nickelodeon's All That is particularly bizarre and memorable.
I was of age to be watching All That, but back then I even knew a lot of their skits were SNL material remade for the Nickelodeon audience. Some of it was pretty obvious, Lorne either gave them their blessing or just didn't care if it was ever brought up.

Re: Passages
He also played a Fagin-like character to a bunch of street urchins in the Emmanuel Lewis vehicle (!) Lost in London. It's not by any stretch a good film, but it was a childhood favourite of mine and we rewatched the VHS many times. I watched it again recently for the first time in 25 years and as with many childhood experiences it didn't hold up.colinr0380 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 10, 2019 3:51 pmFreddie Jones had a couple of great Hammer roles late in the cycle of both the Frankenstein and Dracula series, with the Professorial brain donor in Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed and another Professor in The Satanic Rites of Dracula.

I had no idea he was the father of Toby Jones!

Re: Passages
Looking over Russi Taylor's long and varied career, now that I know of her passing and have, thus, looked over the roles she has done, is real eye opening. I was a child of the 80s and early 90s, so losing the Huey, Dewey and Louie of DuckTales is sad enough, but that's just the barest tip of the iceberg of her input in the past 40 years of animation, and almost certainly not the roles most people remember her for.

Nick Buoniconti. HBO Sports put out a documentary on him last year that was quite fascinating and very sad, as it concerned his son who was paralyzed playing football and his own deteriorating condition.

As a lover of musical theater, his list of producer and director credits is pretty incredible. From The Pajama Game and West Side Story to Cabaret, Sweeney Todd, and Evita, he had a hand in an astonishing number of legendary productions.
