| 30236 | That guy from that movie | <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">Thank you </span><span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">Vaporman87</span> for starting a topic I've been interested in but wasn't sure how to bring it up.<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">I've used the term "character actor" for years referring to familiar faces that are not in "lead" roles. Because secondary characters can enhance a film or show, these are the men and women that have played a major part in holding my interest in any given project.</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">Some of the most famous "who's that guy?" actors are timeless!</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">Do You Know Me? </div><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a6/Alfredryder1_720x240.jpg"><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">You do if you've seen Star Trek, Mission Impossible, The Wild, Wild West, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Land of the Giants, Route 66, The Outer Limits - and on, and on!</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This is </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Alfred Ryder</span>. </div><div style="font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal;">I'm almost 60 years old and I can show this man's picture to a 20something, and get a reaction. You only have to see Alfred Ryder once - and you'll know why this man never lacked for projects.</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">This photo of Alfred is from his role as Dr. Crater from the episode of Star Trek, "The Man Trap". This is the interrogation scene where Kirk knows that an alien creature in onboard his ship, and he asks Dr. Crater the most important question of the entire episode:</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-style: italic;">"Dr. Crater, can you recognize this creature . . . no matter what form it takes?"</span></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">As a 10 year I didn't realize that the answer to that question would cost Dr. Crater his life!</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">In real life Alfred Ryder's appearance in Star Trek will give him a kind of immortality.</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/58HOkTY9J4s" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> | eddstarr | Mar 21, 2016 |  |
| 30235 | Ben-Hur | 1959's Ben-Hur won 11 Oscars, but I don't see this winning one.<div><br></div><div>Of course, movies aren't really about Oscars.</div> | Mr Magic | Mar 20, 2016 | |

My trouble with all this is what it says about people in the 21st century. Are we less creative?</div><div><br></div><div>When did Oscar-winning films become like a challenge, a sorta "can you top this" taunt.</div><div><br></div><div>And now I ask, why Morgan Freeman? I think he's a fine actor, but Hollywood holds Mr. Freeman in such reverence that every project he takes part in becomes all about Morgan Freemen. And this must have something to do with age. This new generation of producer/directors seem awed by Mr. Freemen and I don't like the effect that admiration has on any finished film he's involved with.</div><div><br></div><div>Of course I could be wrong about all this. I'll know for sure this summer.</div> | eddstarr | Mar 20, 2016 | |
| 30233 | Famous Duos | You have to like how Boo-Boo always served as Yogi's conscience. | Mr Magic | Mar 20, 2016 | |
| 30232 | That guy from that movie | You should checkout the youtube channel "No Small Parts". It's really great.<div><br></div><div><br></div> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9uDA4SPUohw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> | Jrs1991 | Mar 20, 2016 | |
| 30231 | Famous Duos | You guys are messin' me up - gotta go for my sure-fire Yogi & Boo Boo.<div><br></div><div>What makes Yogi Bear different from the other H-B cartoons, the draw styles were not consistent. I like the early Yogi and Boo Boo where Boo Boo almost has a "Pixie & Dixie" look about him.<br><div><br></div><div><img src="http://www.chud.com/nextraimages/yogics_001.JPG"></div></div> | eddstarr | Mar 20, 2016 | |
| 30230 | That guy from that movie | I just had this moment with the film The Night Before. I couldn't tell who the drug dealer Mr. Green was in the film, but I knew I recognized him for somewhere. His name is Michael Shannon, and he played Eminem's mothers boyfriend in the film 8 Mile. | Rick Ace Rhodes | Mar 20, 2016 | |
