We've had a thread like this some time ago.
The psychiatrist in "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" is the same actor as the quiet, bespectacled geologist in "Lost Continent."
That really surprised me! The parts are so different, and about the only difference in costume is the spectacles. Huh.
Any of you got examples of this phenomenon?

John Phillip Law played both the villainous mutineer Kalgan in Spacy Mutiny and the devious thief Diabolik in Danger: Diabolik.

If it hadn't been for Daddy-O's Drive-In, I would never have guessed this little tid-bit. The same actor, Lance Fuller, played the second-banana alien Brack in This Island Earth and the bland, blank-faced hero of ep 808, The She-Creature.

I was surprised to learn that Nello Pazzafini, the frog-faced henchman from Danger!! Death Ray, also played a warrior in Colossus and the Headhunters. I never noticed it before, which is weird 'cause I watch both episodes a lot.

I was also surprised that the female love interest (hubba-hubba!) in "Revenge of the Creature" was Mamie Van Doren's older sister in "Untamed Youth." She just looks and sounds so different.
Hot in both movies, BTW. But soooooo yummy in "Creature."

The idiot nurse and fiance to the lawyer in Leech Woman was the co-ed bully to Silver in Girls Town. She was better in Girls Town, but I can't stand that her face is pretty much set in an "i hate you" expression.

Man, Nello Pazzafini was one of the most prolific character actors. He was in so many Spaghetti Westerns, Euro Crime, and Spy movies. It's turned into a 'where's Waldo' game for me when I put on a movie, it's like 'spot Nello'! I read he was a soccer player before he was an actor.

When I read your first post, I read "bespectacled gynocologist" for some odd reason, and thought "wow, I really missed that!" Oops--gotta get new glasses/a new brain soon. Who was it here who identified that Bix Dugan gets tossed against a tree in Revenge of the Creature? I'd have never picked that out without someone else seeing it. It took me years, literally, even with the riff telling me it was so, to get that Leech Woman was the bad woman on the Phantom Planet. And I never "saw" it--I heard it in her voice. |

"What are you, some kinda Leech Lady?"
Inlovewithcrow, that was ME who spotted Bix in "Creature." Once again, I'm falling in love with inlovewithcrow!

I never noticed it before, which is weird 'cause I watch both episodes a lot. Holy crap, I was just going to post that. I watched Colossus last night, and even though I've seen it lots of times, last night was the first time I noticed it was the same guy. "If Michael Caine and Andre the Giant had a baby." |

This thread would be 100% more impressive without search engines and imdb, but still...

I was amazed that the alien/monster in Phantom Planet is Richard Kiel.
Actually, I know it was pretty common for him to play monsters and so forth, but sometimes I have to wonder what the point was of casting him, if they weren't going to show his face, or let him talk. It'd be like putting David Prowse in a big suit of armor, that covered his face, and then never use his voice, and..... oh yeah...

Even I, the modern-day re-incarnation of Bix Dugan, didn't catch on to this until pointed out in another thread. Why? Because the character was a whiner. Bix doesn't whine! Usually. But I did notice the "Ribbett" guy was in Colossus & the Headhunters. Hard to NOT notice that face... edit: I seem to remember seeing the name June Jocelyn in the credits of at least 2 different episodes, but never put a face to the name. |
