The Cast in Other Roles

[Mozelle]

So, I spent much of episode two racking my brain about where I'd seen Harris before. Thanks to IMDb, I learned that Adam Godley played Nigel, Louis Litt's arch nemesis in Suits. He's a British actor, bringing this show's total to four British actors playing (or having played) American characters.

I still think of him as Elliot Schwarz from Breaking Bad.

And since I never watched House of Cards (US), I think of Corey Stoll as the bewigged dude from The Strain.

Or as Ernest Hemingway in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris.  Hot, hot, hot!

I just think of him as the singing teacher from Love Actually.

"The Cast In Other Roles" seems like a fitting place for this self-written obituary by James Rebhorn, aka Carrie's dad: http://www.mademan.com/every-man-can-learn-actors-self-written-obituary/

While channel surfing the other day I came across Love you, Love You Not, a really awful 1996 film starring Claire D and a then unknown Jude Law(!) as preppy NY high schoolers in love. Really draggy. I only watched about 20 mins.

Claire Danes is great in Igby Goes Down.  She plays the "older" woman in it!  Heh.  I loved her in Home for the Holidays too.  One of my favorite Thanksiving movies.  Holly Hunter plays her mom!  Perfect casting.

Claire played Beth March in the Winona Ryder version of Little Women.  I really like this version of Little Women (Christian Bale is Laurie) and Claire is lovely as Beth.  It has some nice scenes set at Christmas, so it might be a good one to watch this time of year!

I just watched The Lunchbox yesterday--it's an outstanding Indian film and the female lead is none other than Nimrat Kaur (Tasneem)! She was wonderful in it, and worlds apart from her evil genius self in Homeland.

Rebecca Hall, François Arnaud, Morgan Spector, David Joseph Craig, and director Brian Crano discuss their film Permission:

I realize that he's passed away, but, I always loved James Rebhorn in all his roles.   He was just a class act, imo and so talented.  One favorite was his role in The Talented Mr. Ripley.  He played Dickie Greenleaf's father.

Nazanin Boniadi, who played Fara is on Starz's Counterpart, playing Clare.

She has a bigger role there than she had on Homeland.

 

And Counterpart in its first season is a better show than Homeland is these days.

Rupert Friend has an important supporting role in The Death of Stalin, in which he's very different from Quinn (and very funny).

Amy Hargreaves (Maggie) discusses S2 of 13 Reasons Why:

Elizabeth Marvel is in the Broadway production of King Lear starring Glenda Jackson. The show is scheduled to run through July 7th.
