Everybody surely knows Robert Duvall played Boo Radley in "To Kill A Mockingbird," but here are some on screen appearances that some folks may have missed......or just forgotten:
James Arness, Marshall Dillon in "Gunsmoke," played the title role in 1951's "The Thing From Another World," which was the original version of the 1982 remake, "The Thing," that starred Kurt Russell and Wilford Brimley.
Matt Damon was in "Mystic Pizza."
Jack Nicholson plays a dental patient in "The Little Shop Of Horrors."
Jake Gyllenhaal was Billy Crystal's son in "City Slickers."
Thandie Newton was victimized by bloodsucker Brad Pitt in "Interview With The Vampire."
Brad Pitt, of course, was also in "Thelma and Louise."
Young Roddy McDowell, later a great pal of Liz Taylor and a monkey in "Planet Of The Apes," was in "How Green Was My Valley."
Gene Hackman and Richard Harris were in the film epic "Hawaii" and in the book, at least, their characters introduced the missionary position to those islands
Hackman, Dustin Hoffman and Robert Duvall were all friends, sometime roomies and struggling actors in NYC.
Singer/guitarist James Taylor and Beach Boys' drummer Dennis Wilson starred with Warren Oates in "Two Lane Blacktop" and Harry Dean Staton plays a hitchhiker.
Steve McQueen starred in "The Blob."
Benicio Del Toro was the Dog Faced Boy in "Big Top Pee Wee," which nicely preshadowed his more recent hairy role in the "The Wolfman."
Karen Black and Toni Basil (singer/songwriter of "Mickey," go go dancer on the TAMI Show, choreographer for David Bowie and Talking Heads) take an LSD trip in an above ground, New Orleans cemetery during "Easy Rider."
Phil Spector is the connection who sells Peter Fonda drugs which he conceals in his cycle's gas tank at that movie's start, while planes taking off at LAX and Steppenwolf's "The Pusher" compete on the soundtrack.
Shelley Duvall's time consuming, slow response to post coital cunnilingus given her by Woody Allen (it made his jaw lock up) seemed to go right over my mom's head when I took her to see "Annie Hall."
Mom certainly did "get" Meg Ryan's orgasmic restaurant scene in "When Harry Met Sally."
George Reeves, TV's "Superman," was in "From Here To Eternity."
Reeves was also in "Gone With The Wind."
So was Ward Bond as a Yankee.
Hugh Beaumont, who played Beaver's dad {Ward Cleaver) on TV, starred in "The Mole People."
Sam Waterston, of "Law and Order," in "Rancho Deluxe."
Bill Maher was in "House" or its sequel.
Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger were both in the sequel to "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."
John Travolta pours blood on Sissy Spacek in "Carrie" and Amy Irving also was in this Brian De Palma flick.
Piper Laurie plays Spacek's mom and was also Paul Newman's gimpy girlfriend in "The Hustler."
Marcel Marceau, the French mime, had the only speaking part in Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie."
Lynn Redgrave, famous for her 1960's roles in "Tom Jones" and "Georgy Girl" was the final interview subject in "Kinsey," which starred Liam Neeson and Laura Linney.
Eva Mendez and Naomi Watts are recognizable in a "Children Of The Corn" movie. (Eva's the one with the big boobs, Naomi's blonde with freckles.)
Others?
