'Sleeper'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
And then there's Samuel "Snakes on a Plane" L. Jackson.
I had no idea who Albert Finney was for at least another decade, because Daddy Warbucks isn't exactly a representative role.
...seriously? Albert Finney was Daddy Warbucks? I have to see this movie again.
yeah, can you believe it? I was shocked when I found out that he was English.
I mean, I probably last saw Annie when I was ten, so I can be forgiven for not making the connection. But that's really weird.
Michael Caine .... a Steven Seagal movie.
On Deadly Ground is a pretty good movie, and certainly a lot better than Jaws 3D or The Hand. I think Caine is mostly over his do-any-movie-for-the-money-irrespective-of-the-quality period.
My introduction to Tim Curry (not to Carol Burnett) came via the movie Annie. I'm sure I would have run into him eventually in something else; but meeting him first as a smirking roué rather than as, I don't know, Satan, makes for a much more accurate impression of his body of work. By contrast, I had no idea who Albert Finney was for at least another decade, because Daddy Warbucks isn't exactly a representative role.
I managed to avoid Annie for years, so my introduction to Tim Curry was RHPS and my introduction to Albert Finney was Tom Jones.
Neither leads to especially accurate impressions of their bodies of work.
Actually, I think RHPS is a pretty accurate impression of TC's body of work: always willing to go over the top, and usually asked to do so.
My mom was introduced to Malcolm McDowell in Clockwork Orange when it came out in the theaters. Only movie she's ever walked out on.
Fast forward a decade later, she loved him as H.G. Wells in Time After Time. It was another decade until I told her it was the same actor.
She truely boggled.

Sadly, usually with less singing, dancing, and crossdressing.
True. But I'll always have Muppet Treasure Island. Actually, I won't swear to the cross-dressing in that one.
He doesn't sing or dance in Blue Money, but if memory serves, Curry does crossdress. As a nun.
