I didn't realize he/she was in that

Whether he could or couldn't isn't the issue, it's whether he did or didn't. (And he didn't, it was Savage the whole time).

Like I said, I just assumed this was some sort of "He was great in The Client"-type inside joke or "Dustin Hoffman was in Star Wars" pop culture reference I'm unaware of.

 

I'm not going to sit idly by while you two slag Topher Grace!

 

Rewatching "My Name is Earl." In season 2, Sean Astin appears in one of the later episodes, along with Charles Dutton and Chelcie Ross. The last scene is a "Rudy" parody.

 

Liam Neeson, Robbie Coltrane, and Scarred Face Nobles Guy from Braveheart were all thieves in Krull.

 

I think the confusion about this is caused by the fact that back then he was credited as ChrisTOPHER Grace.

Common mistake.

 

I don't know. My confusion stems from IMDB listing Fred Savage as being in the pilot of the show and Topher Grace's page not referencing it at all.

And when I just Netflixed the first two episodes to verify it ("Pilot" and "Swingers," it's Fred Savage.

 

Congratulations. You've just been Bucked.

 

Like I said, at best I thought it was an inside joke that went over my head (which has happened before). But as it turns it out, it's just good old-fashioned trolling.

 

Got a good chuckle the other night when I watched an old "Cold Case" late night. Plot was a minor league hockey player gets beaten to death at center ice of the local rink late one night. As the investigators unravel it all, the murderer turned out to be the player's best friend, who had snaked his girlfriend and knocked her up.
That character -- a fast-talking slimeball -- was played by Robert Romanus, aka, Mike Damone from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."
Talk about being locked in a stereotypical role.

 

I have no idea who that guy is.

 

He played the foreign kid on 'That 70s Show.'

 

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.
