minor movie role you wish you had most had?

[cthomer5000]

Was their a role better than that of the naval officer in Eyes Wide Shut?

So I don't have any lines, but I'm in a number of scenes getting busy with a completely nude Nicole Kidman? Sign me up!

This thought was inspired by a re-watching of the movie last night. I liked that movie a lot more than most.

[Blackadar]

Well, anything with Tracy Lords back in the day...

:)

Let's say RIGHT NOW, the movie can't be rated more than R. Otherwise, this is a dead thread already.

I would like to have the part of Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky. Penelope Cruz and Cameron Diaz? Yum!

[albionmoonlight]

Hmmm... hard to beat your choice there.

It would have also been cool to play Dennis Hopper's character in the scene with Christoper Walken from True Romance (and to have pulled it off as well as he did).

Then, people would see me and be like, "Hey, you were that guy from that movie! You kicked ass when you told that other guy about the Moors and stuff. Let me buy you a drink!"

I'd sign up for that gig. She's single, you know, and reporting that men aren't beating a path to her door.

Not sure where you're at, cthomer (though for some reason, I'm remembering Georgia), but if you want to drive to SoCal and look her up with me, we could go halves on the gas money. Her house is probably big enough for her to support both of us as full-time gigolos.

You'd have Jack-O to contend with!

Jackson Tries To Woo Kidman

Troubled superstar Michael Jackson begged Hollywood superstar Nicole Kidman to be his date at the upcoming MTV Music Awards - but she politely declined. The singer, 44 - who is facing trial on child molestation charges - got his people to call single girl Kidman to arrange for the Oscar-winning beauty, 37, to accompany him to the annual music event. But was left red-faced when she snubbed his advances. Kidman explains, "There was a call from his people to mine asking if he could take me to the Awards. I had never even met him, it was a little strange." Kidman, whose romance with rocker Lenny Kravitz ended earlier this year, admits she doesn't feel tempted to start a relationship with Jackson. She adds, "I did decline but, hey, the way my love life is I took it as a great compliment. I keep thinking of those photographs of Michael in a shocking wig at Disneyland

MOVIE: Jerry Maguire
CHARACTER: T.P. Tidwell

He's always been one of my favorite few-lines side characters. He dances in the background during the "Show Me The Money" scene, wears the "Do Not Arrest This Man" t-shirt, and delivers the "I got a commitment to the truth. I'm just keepin' it real." line when Tidwell is injured.

I always wanted to see Tidwell's older brother, "who got one leg but still doin' it" on screen...

[JonInMiddleGA]

Minor movie role? Well, in terms of brief time-on-screen, I'd go with the manical scene played by Alec Baldwin as "Blake" in Glengarry Glenross

Just one of my favorite movie scenes of all-time.

[Franklinnoble]

Anybody else bothered by the grammar in this thread title?

;)

I'd take the part of the next door neighbor in "Office Space."

[GrantDawg]

Andre the Giant's role in the Princess Bride. :)

Actually, Jason Lee's role in Heartbreakers would have been pretty sweet. (I don't know if that was minor enough, though).

You try writing a coherent sentence while fantasizing about Nicole Kidman.

The only Alec Balwin role I have ever liked.

[Franklinnoble]

No love for "Cat In The Hat"?

[Fritz]

Mr. Hand

[cuervo72]

Oh, I'll have to ponder this for a while. But I like cthomer's thinking. Exactly the kind of thing that came to mind...the cable guy in Animal Instincts isn't bad, but he had to, uh, flee the premises rather quickly.

[heybrad]

The only Alec Balwin role I have ever liked.
This is not a movie but Alec Baldwin was hilarious as the Scoutmaster camping with Adam Sandler on SNL.

"My beard is scratchy canteen boy.... but it gives good back rubs."

edit... I cant spell for shit.

[heybrad]

Let me just add that that is not the role I'd like to play. Just pointing out a funny Alec Baldwin scene.

[cuervo72]

hey x 2

[Bad-example]

I like the role of Eddie Harris, the veteran junkballer in Major League.

Crisco, [wiping it across his waist line] Bardol, [wiping it along his head] Vagisil. Any one of them will give you another two to three inches drop on your curve ball. Of course if the umps are watching me real close I'll rub a little jalapeño up my nose, get it runnin', and if I need to load the ball up just [wipes his nose] wipe my nose.

[Danny]

Hunt for Red October and Beetlejuice?

The only Alec Balwin role I have ever liked.

[IMetTrentGreen]

the general in the ladykillers

[Blackadar]

Actually, I'd like to be D-Day in Animal House.

[Ragone]

You are clearly forgeting matt dillon's role in Wild Things :)

[Suicane75]

I'd like to play the Deborah Shelton character in Body Double....don't ask.

[cuervo72]

Hmm, there's also a fat guy in Sins of Desire who has his uh, "problem" remedied by Becky LeBeau and Monique Parent.

(yeah, I miss Skinemax....)

[Subby]

I woudln't mind being Ray Allen's cock in He Got Game...no speaking lines, but nut deep in Rosario Dawson, numerous co-eds...

[Subby]

What!? Those were simulated sex scenes?

Okay, I'll be o-face from Office Space... <i>"I'll show her my O face...Oh...Oh..."</i>

[Suicane75]

Chasey Lain and Jill Kelly as well.

You want real scenes, you have to be a Mickey Rourke character (see: Wild Orchid).

[bbor]

Lindsey Lohans tampons.

She's legal...right?

[JeffNights]

Lindsey Lohans tampons.

She's legal...right?


Hmm. Depends what State you're in.

[JeeberD]

SHe just turned 18, so yes she is. Of course, you'll have to fight Fez for her...

I agree with Ragone, though I don't think that could be considered a minor role. How about any minor character that made out with Jennifer Love Hewitt?

[Easy Mac]

I'll think you'll have to fight with all kinds of VD if you go down her pants.

[Cringer]

any minor part in Strange Brew would work for me......

[pennywisesb]

I'd like to be one of the cousins from Desperado. Just come in with all that fire power, kick butt, then get out.

[thesloppy]

I'd pay to be Chet from Wierd Science.

or Weird Jimmy from Nice Dreams.

[Ryche]

Keira Knightly's corset in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Jesse Ventura's character in Predator would work for a real role.

Doh, change that. Darth Maul definitely. He worked those Jedi hard.
