    Elizabeth Banks has a very small part as a teller in Catch Me If You Can. Looks great.

    I'm the same way. I drive people nuts with that stuff. When someone comes onscreen in a movie, it's like my brain goes straight to searching its data banks for what that person's been in before.

    The Dad from Freaks and Geeks is the guy who drives the VW Beetle into Happy Gilmore in Happy Gilmore.

    I knew about Warwick Davis playing those two roles. No idea where that big of trivia got stuck in my head.

    Can't remember if he was the other guy in the monster truck, but I know Flea was one of them.

    Another one of those movies that seems to have a ton of these moments is The Quick and the Dead.
    Leonardo Dicaprio, Russell Crowe, Sharon Stone, Pat Hingle (played Commissioner Gordon in the first round of Batman films and a bunch of other bit parts), Hackman, Lance Henriksen, Keith David, Tobin Bell (played Jigsaw in the Saw series) and Gary Sinise.
    Not too shabby for a movie that didn't aim to be much more than a overly dramatic B western.

    Flea was in the Big Lebowski as one of the German "kidnappers." Tim Robbins was Merlin in Top Gun; the dude who played Marvin in Pulp Fiction (the one who got shot in the face) is Phil LaMarr, who voices Hermes Conrad of Futurama fame... among others, I believe.

    LaMarr is a fairly prolific voice actor. Among others he has voiced Samurai Jack, Static from Static Shock, John Stewart (Green Lantern) on Justice League and both Ollie Williams and the Judge on Family Guy.

    You can really have some fun with this if you start looking into voice actors. Clancy Brown (the Kurgan from the original Highlander and Captain Hadley in the Shawshank Redemption) has been the voice of Lex Luthor in various cartoons for about a decade, and he has been Mr. Krabs on SpongeBob SquarePants since 1999.

    Mark Hamill also does a lot of voice work, most notably as the Joker.

    Holy shit! I never realized the Kurgan and Captain Hadley were one and the same. I'll never look at either movie the same way now.

    As for voice actors, Patrick Warburton (Puddy from Seinfeld) does Joe on Family Guy, and Brock Samson on The Venture Bros.
    Mila Kunis (of That 70s Show) is also Meg's voice on Family Guy.
    Tim Daly (from Wings) did Clark Kent/Superman on that animated series and, I believe, Justice League.
    And don't forget Billy West, one of the best voice actors ever. Hasn't done much live work, but he's been the voice of Ren & Stimpy, Fry from Futurama, and way too many other cartoons to count.

    "Dancing Guy" from It's Always Sunny is one of the dudes on The League. Took me a couple minutes to place that face.
