Happy Birthday to Alan Ruck
Happy Birthday to Alan Ruck! The actor turns 57 today.
Ruck never really made it huge as an actor like his costar in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986), Matthew Broderick did. But, to me, Alan Ruck will always be remembered as Cameron Frye, Ferris Bueller’s best friend. He was always sick and his dad owned a Ferrari.
Elijah Wood Morphed into Steve Buscemi
When I first saw this picture I had to do a double-take. Doesn’t it just look like Elijah Wood has really let himself go? Or, did Steve Buscemi just start looking creepier?
I’m not sure where the picture came from, but it’s Steve Buscemi with Elijah Wood’s face.
Which actor is doing an impression of the other?
Now I would just like to see Elijah Wood with Steve Buscemi’s face. I think it would only be fair.
Happy Birthday to Tim Roth
Happy Birthday to Tim Roth! The highly talented actor turns 52 today.
What a strange coincidence that Mr. Orange from Reservoir Dogs (1992) was born a day after his co-star Mr. White (Harvey Keitel). Well, 22 years and one day to be exact. Another coincidence is that both actors are probably most popular for the same 2 movies, Reservoir Dogs (1992) and Pulp Fiction (1994). They both played their own part in helping to make Quentin Tarantino famous and in return he helped to boost their careers.
Even though Roth never really reached superstar status, he has still had a pretty successful career. Besides the 2 films that I mentioned, my other favorite Tim Roth films are
The Legend of 1900 (1998),
Deceiver (1997), and
Gridlock’d (1997).
What is your favorite Tim Roth movie?
Note: Random movie connection: Chris Penn played Nice Guy Eddie in Reservoir Dogs and he was also in Deceiver with Tim Roth. It’s interesting to me how often actors work together in multiple different movies or work with the same directors on different films.
Happy Birthday to Dwayne Johnson “The Rock”
Happy Birthday to Dwayne Johnson! “The Rock” turns 41 today.
The big man has got 2 movies in the theatre right now (G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) and Pain & Gain (2013)) with another one on the way in a few weeks (Fast & Furious 6 (2013)).
Do you like Dwayne Johnson better as a wrestler or an actor?
