    Just realised (thanks to a promo on 6Music) that Cillian Murphy wasn’t just

    in The Wind that Shakes the Barley,

    and Scarecrow in the Nolan Batman films..

    but was also the protagonist in 28 Days Later… I honestly had no idea. I suppose he looks quite different and his voice & mannerisms are different…. you might even call it acting.

    have you had a similar moment with another actor or actress?

    Conversely, when I first saw Batman Begins I thought “Wow! Cillian Murphy from 28 Day Later is playing The Scarecrow”.

    Other than that, a tablet, the internet and IMDB amkes this game too easy…

    Huh. Totally hadn’t clocked that was him in 28 days later.

    I had actually already had him down as someone that I didn’t really notice in films – but I mean that in the best possible way – like you said, it means he has a really different persona in his different roles.

    Well yes, but i’m asking when this has actually happened in real life.

    Exactly, and that’s I think a testament to be a decent actor. some “good” actors you’ll notice far more than the character they’re playing and it can pull you out of the zone when watching a film. It’s impossible to see Tom Hanks in a film without noticing, “oh, that’s Tom Hanks”.

    Another one would be John Goodman. I absolutely missed that he was Walter in The Big Lebowski 🙂

    Complete opposite for me, he seems to be everywhere…..

    As for “hang on isn’t that…” happens a lot when watching any Scandi noir series. I think they have pool of about 5 actors

    I was watching Girl With a Pearl Earring the other week. And this young butcher fella didn’t half remind me of Thomas Shelby off of Peaky Blinders 🙂

    But yeah, I usually just grab the iPad and fire up IMDB if in doubt.

    I had no idea the blue alien woman in Guardians of the Galaxy was thingy out of Dr Who. Til I saw her name in the credits anyway.

    Varserys Targaeron (spelling?) the one given the golden crown was also in the Stephen Hawking movie and the Maggie Thatcher movie playing a young Dennis, he’s really quite good.

    +1. He’s a very distinctive looking man. Good actor but always looks like Cillian Murphy. (No surprise! 😁 )

    A bit niche this one, but I spent about a third of the game playing Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag going “I know that voice”

    when the penny dropped, it was Matt Ryan from Constantine

    Game of Thrones (and other HBO series) are pretty good for this. Wait, that’s Paddy Garvey murdering people! That’s Sasha from Hollyoaks giving birth to a shadow devilly thing! And the other way round, ZOMG, who let Schillinger work in a school? Every time Scott Winters appears in anything, I expect someone to get horribly murdered in the gym, he was the only person in Borgia who was taking a step back from more awful characters.

    Clarice van Houten? Never in Hollyoaks according to Wikipedia? Or were there other shadowy devilly births?

    I’m terrible at this.

    But I did spot that the Sheriff in the new Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated show was voiced by the guy who does Joe Swanson in Famiy Guy.  Then, that very same evening, I realised he’s also Lemony Snicket in the Netflix series.

    Realised the other week that Torres from NCIS is the voice of Handy Manny and is also Fez from That 70s Show.

    Also, a couple of months ago that Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride) is Jason Gideon from Criminal Minds!

    And he’s most known to a lot of people as Puddy (Elaine’s boyfriend) from Seinfeld!!

    And Saul Berenson in Homeland

    And was also the Original Che* in Broadway Evita.

    Nursey from Blackadder, wasn’t it?

    No. But it’s an odd one – because I can see why you confuse the right answer with Nursey.  Which in turn makes me think you actually have the right answer but in that case she wasn’t Nursey in Blackadder.

    * which leads to another ‘no way!’.  Che Guevara was a nom de guerre. His real name was Ernie Lynch (courtesy Danny Baker at the weekend). And Che is a nickname too, it’s sort of Spanish for ‘errr’ because he used to constantly umm and err when speaking.

    Ah you’re right, I got my Mellisandres mixed up with my Missandeis. Classic error.

    Kate from Lost as an elf, that bothered my suspension of disbelief slightly more than the bit where they poured all that gold on the dragon

    One that got me recently. Doctor Who (Peter Capaldi) in Vicar of Dibley.

    Despite having seen that episode many times probably, but long ago. Never made the connection until seeing a repeat recently.

    You know what’s bothers me?

    Peter Capaldi, today:

    Time has passed. But Joe McFadden, 1996:

    My wife, at the very end of The Bourne Legacy, having spent over two (2) hours watching this man

    chasing, hitting, shooting, and being chased, hit and shot at, turned and asked me:

    “So what happened to the guy with the beard at the beginning?”

    “So what happened to the guy with the beard at the beginning?”

    Ha. My wife did exactly the same.

    I asked her if she thought there was anything special about Bruce Wayne or Clark Kent and she just got in a huff.

    The odd realisation for me was that McManus from Battlefield 1

    Is an actual person who also played Maguire in Peaky Blinders
