[jnk5y]

6. Was he in the bar scene?

 

[Sinclair]

6. Nope.

Red Three, Biggs Darklighter, sans mustache - Garrick Hagon

 

[Sinclair]

We have a winner! It's about damned time!

 

[jnk5y]

I'm going to cry now

Maybe i can get the next one.

 

[Sinclair]

Here we go again!

[Lyta]

Ah, an easy one! While I didn't know her name I did recognize her from "Once and Again" and was thus easily found on IMDB:

Ever Carradine

 

[Sinclair]

Drats! I was hoping that one would be a little tougher.

Walter Huston? I know I've seen him in 40's films...

 

[Sinclair]

You got it!

I missed some in a row there. This guy looks like the gentleman who played in a movie version of something I can't remember the title to.

Great help, eh?

Anyhow, I think it's one of the Austin sister's books. There is a little girl who he befriends (famous young actress from many other movies) who dies and he befriended her and let her play the piano at his house.

Let me see if I can do a decent internet search to jog my memory.

C. Aubrey Smith, from The Four Feathers, many other swashbucklers, usually plays a British officer.

 

[Sinclair]

JJ got another!

This one may be a little tougher.

[Jade Jaguar]

Sessue Hayakawa.

 

[hypatia]

Very good JJ. I don't think the little girl died in Little Women, but it's the same actor I was trying to remember.

How do you guys do it?

I'm like "gosh it's that guy I saw in that thing once" and some of you can nail it almost immediately.

BTW, I remember him more in the kindly old gentleman type of roll. I don't know if I've ever seen him as a British officer.

 

[Sinclair]

Damn you!

Let's see if you can get this one so quickly.

[hypatia]

Sessue Hayakawa.

What was he in?

It's faster to post a question than to check out IMBD or whatever it's called.

 

[Sinclair]

It's faster to post a question than to check out IMBD or whatever it's called.

Not for me.

Here's his bio and filmography.

 

[hypatia]

I am amazed at the old movie fans here.

Well, either that or the search abilities here. As I said earlier, the best I can ever do is more like "hey I recognize him/her as the one who did the thing in the movie I can't remember anyway..."

You folks are GOOD!

 

[Jade Jaguar]

Okay, Sinclair, you got me. He is sort of vaguely familiar, I think he's British, but I don't know him. You posted three character actors from the 30s and 40s in a row, the films I am best at. Hayakawa was a lucky guess, which I checked on the IMDb before I posted, but Walter Huston, director John's dad is one of my favorite actors. He is hard to recognize, though, since he plays character roles, and looks so different in each. The grizzled prospector from The Treasure of Sierra Madre is a classic, excellent, and a personal favorite. C. Aubrey Smith was knighted for playing a favorable presentation of a British officer so often, like in The Lives of a Bengal Lancer. Hypatia, forgive me if I am more familiar with his action pictures than with Little Women. But do check out The Four Feathers, a great film, though his part is small. Sinclair, if you move to film noir actors, well, I'm about to go off line, but tomorrow when I come back, I'll nail them!
