They look vaguely familiar, but I haven't seen anything they've been in. But I trust the hivemind.
ETA: Dupond and Dupont are way more important to me than Haddock.
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'll bring Hot Fuzz with me when I come to SF.
I believe TiVo has done your job for you.
megan, rent the Spaced dvds! You'll get to see Simon Pegg at his best, and Nick Frost is wonderful in his first acting gig (he was Pegg's roomie and a waiter, and Pegg had to convince the director that Frost would be perfect in the role, which he was).
Also, Spaced just happens to be the best sitcom of the past ten years, possibly twenty.

Also, if you get BBCAmerica, you can see Nick Frost in Kinky Boots tonight.
Kinky Boots tonight.
I was SO impressed with Chiwetel Ejiofor in that.

Woulda made a great Eleven.
Looking at that IMDB entry for Nick Frost, it looks like he did act before Spaced, but Mike was probably his first speaking role on film.
I am totally confident that Andy Serkis can do Captain Haddock. Well, that he can do anything he sets his mind to, actually, but he was great as the salty old sailor bloke in King Kong. Albeit not so much with the beardiness.
I less than three Andy Serkis. Also Pegg and Frost. So it looks like I'm going to want to see Tin Tin after all!
Oh man, those Spaced videos are hilarious.

That's some gold right there.
