Since I've been home, I've been watching lots of movies on the Oxygen channel and on Bravo. It's kind of funny when you watch old movies, because you get to see the stars of today in the bit parts of yesterday.
For instance, I was watching 'Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead' and the badguy metrosexual who was in league with the mean advertising lady was none other than David Duchovny. Back then, I remembered thinking, 'That guy's hot, too bad he's a mean guy!'
And in 'Adventures in Babysitting', the guy that played the blond haired Thor in the garage was none other than VIncent D'Onofrio, from 'Law and Order: Criminal Intent' and 'The Cell'. It makes me laugh because he does not look that at ALL - he's a brunette, he's balding, and he's put on a bit of weight. I would venture to say that in 'Adventures...' he was kinda hot!
'To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything - Julie Newmar' not only had John Leguizamo, Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes as drag queens, it also had a very young Michael Vartan (from 'Alias') playing Tommy, the small town bully.
Its really nice to see these guys in these old roles, so young and fresh faced. Who knew that they would be the stars that they are (or aren't) today.
That was David Duchovny??? Wow! But yeah, I totally know what you mean with seeing old actors then and now. It's craaazy!
