The shot was focused on The Quaker looking out the window.

Staying with Crispin Glover! I have no idea why he is so fascinating. I think he plays very interesting, diverse and bonkers roles:



Open Season 2

Met Crispin Glover at a showing of one of his films in the IFI a couple of years ago, got a book signed, very nice man.

Also as the Master Vampire in Dracula Untold!



His voice is easily recognized!

This one I only found out by seeing the name in the credits, thinking no way is that the same guy, it just cannot be, but: Robert Picardo, aka The Doctor in Star Trek Voyager was Meg Mucklebones in Ridley Scott's Legend:



How weird is that?

Anyone remember Wolf Creek? The main antagonist was John Jarratt.

The new movie The DUFF is getting OK reviews, and it stars Mae Whitman (26) as a 18-y.o. high school senior.



She's done a lot of TV, none of which I've seen (e.g. Parenthood): but I remembered her name from movies such as Independence Day, as Bill Pullman's daughter:



or One Fine Day (1995), as George Clooney's daughter:



or Hope Floats, as Sandra Bullock's daughter:

.

Known to most, she's Egg Ann Veal in Arrested Development, and she was in Scott Pilgrim Vs The World too, BUT she also was the little girl in Friends, where Ross breaks her leg and has to sell cookies for her so she can go to space camp:

In Gavin and Stacey, the narcoleptic Smithy's mam is played by Pam Ferris.

She was also Ma in Darling Buds of May alongside a young Catherine Zeta Jones before Hollywood beckoned.
Also Daphne (Jane Leeves) used to be in Benny Hill in her younger days.
