But you can't go wrong with Walken to play off of. <br /><br />Wayne - Ronnie was such a dumb shit, but then again, Gries is pretty damn good at playing them. He's probably brilliant IRL.Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-87356393694541383242009-12-11T10:12:24.432-07:002009-12-11T10:12:24.432-07:00I've always appreciated Ronnie from Get Shorty...I've always appreciated Ronnie from Get Shorty.

What can I say - I am a religious viewer of the show and they have a history of a) having a ton of characters come in and out over the years and b) getting choice character actors to fill those roles. Frankly, after looking back through the list, I'm surprised the number isn't higher.<br /><br />But no, there's been no formal plan. It's entirely coincidental.Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-20029195152251854592009-12-10T21:30:53.613-07:002009-12-10T21:30:53.613-07:00The last three Familiar Faces and five total have ...The last three Familiar Faces and five total have all been on Lost.

Thinking he looked familiar, I looked him up and saw all of his other credits.<br /><br />I often confused him with Mike Judge.TALKING MOVIEzzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11621046844665110326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-2695110354181673332009-12-09T17:17:26.800-07:002009-12-09T17:17:26.800-07:00Yeah, I knew of the no milk/red meat thing.

You can actually see him spit steak out of his mouth a couple times during the movie.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.com
