Actors who keep cropping up

[sir roger]

I know a lot of people think he is excellent but I have taken a real dislike of Timothy Spall.

 

He seems to be in everything & play every role with the same expression with that face like a burst casey.

 

He actually had to lose weight to get the ' Fattest Man In The World' gig.

[VladimirIlyich]

Timothy Spall was great in Auf Widersehen Pet but havent watched him in anything else because he just cant do any better.

[Mendoza]

 

Cliff Curtis. He's a Maori but usually plays Arabs or Mexicans. One of Hollywood's favourite 'actors of indeterminate ethnicity.'

[Mendoza]

[Trumo]

David Morse. If there is ever a second-in-command type of role, he's your man.

 

[Pony Princess]

Saw the guy who played Hollis Mason in Watchmen earlier as a fatherly figure in The Wire S2.

William Sanderson

[Kevin D]

 

Ramirez in both Batman films. She just turned up in SOA and I've seen her in Lie to me and House(was a little late to that party) fairly recently.

[moof]

 

I see this fucker in just about every movie i watch. Never put a name to the face though...

[Harry Squatter]

Charles Napier was in virtually everything from 1978-1986

Boxman. Yeah he gets royalty cheques by the boxload.

[Redder Lurtz]

 

William Sanderson

 

Good shout. He's in True Blood too. As is John Billingsley, aka Dr Phlox, who I keep seeing in stuff lately:

Ah shit

[Mendoza]

Ciaran Hinds

 

[jamespp]

 

Thomas Kretschmann, rent a nazi

[Unrighteous]

 

Stellan Skarsgaard. In 2010, it seemed like I saw him everywhere... and he's been in like 100+ roles

[polymerpunkah]

 

Jeffrey Tambor

[Guest Slim(fast)Shady]

Jim "Roy Slater" Broadbent

[Carvalho Diablo]

 

Turns up - steals scene - fucks off.

[Anubis]

Can anyone list the films Jeremy Renner isn't in this year? He seems to be in everything.

[Kevin D]

 

Thomas Kretschmann, rent a nazi

 

 

On a similar note, if you're after a terrorist, or maybe just a middle-eastern henchman, this guy always gets the call. It's impossible to not have seen his face if you watch anything on TV from the last 10 years.

 

24, Lost, Homeland, Criminal minds, The West wing, The Shield, the Mentalist, Lie to me. He was apparently also in Desperate Housewives and Prison Break. He is taking the piss.

[Newport]

It used to be this fella:

 

And I keep making the mistake of thinking Mark Strong is Clive Owen.

 

And as the rent-a-muslim (wouldn't have a career without 9/11):

[KMD7]

 

James Cromwell.

 

Crops up a fair bit. Was brilliant as the corrupt police chief in LA Confidential. Was in Babe and The Green mile as well

 

The late Jt Walsh was the first to spring to mind but someone had it posted already in the thread.

[Redder Lurtz]

Chris Finch (Ralph Ineson) just turned up in Thrones. Does loads of ad voiceovers too.
