Here's an interesting (sad) trivia: Does anyone remember the character "Benny" from the movie Leon: The Professional? His real name is Keith A. Glascoe. Turns out he was also a firefighter during the 9/11 attacks, but unfortunately he passed away in the midst of the rescue that he and others performed during that time.

He is one of those actors with endless range. From Reservoir Dogs to Con Air to Grown Ups to The Death of Stalin and of course The Big Lebowski. Everything he does is believable, genuine and seems like he is just playing his own personality, but then you watch another movie with him and you realise he is that convincing. I haven't watched any of his movies and not liked his performance. What an absolute legend!

@sgtjohnnywallsmith87205 ай бұрын
It's a great show. I wish they had made more seasons of it. It blew my mind when I found out that the actor that played Arnold Rothstein, Michael Stuhlberg, played Griffin in MIB 3. He was the alien that could see all the different ways a universe could turn out and saw them all play out at the same time. Talk about polar opposites as far as roles go. That show had so many great actors. The guy thar played Chaulkie White was great. I heard gmhe passed away here not to long ago. But my favorite was the character Mickey Doyle. The actor played that role perfectly.
