Line 265:
* People only familiar with [[Angelina Jolie]] from the ''[[Lara Croft: Tomb Raider|Lara Croft Tomb Raider]]'' movie would do well to watch such films as ''Life or Something Like It'', where she gives a powerful performance as a TV reporter who discovers she is doomed to die in a week.
** Her role in ''[[Girl, Interrupted]]'' cemented her status as a great actress, and that was before ''Tomb Raider''.
* For a while, it seemed like [[James Franco]] was going to be remembered as whiny and irritating Harry Osborn in ''Spider-Man''. Then along came ''[[Pineapple Express]]'', and
** This had arguably happened earlier when he fully embodied the role of [[James Dean]] and when he held his own in ''[[Milk]]''. Earlier still in ''[[Freaks & Geeks]]'' as Daniel, the cool rebel deconstruction, who desperately wants to break out of the loser perception everyone has of him. His speech about being one of the "Dumb Kids" is heartbreaking, even if you know before hand that it is setting up a final joke...
** He actually improved alot over the course of the ''Spider-Man'' movies, going from wooden in one movie, to "whiny and irritating" in the next, to ''very convincing'' in the third, as he plays Harry as evil and vengeful, with amnesia, in a moral dilemma, and ''dying'' all in the same film.
* [[Gorillaz]] bassist Murdoc is voiced by Phil Cornwell, who's a comedian by trade. Since the tone in the interviews and animated shorts is usually [[Non Sequitur|weird and light-hearted,]] this works out pretty well. But in the iTunes session interviews, there are some surprisingly frightful parts, and Cornwell proves himself as an actor by bringing Murdoc across as [[Jerkass|phenomenally scummy,]] even intimidating. The brutal on-tape fights and {{spoiler|[[Ho Yay|suggestive]] chloroform scene}} are played quite convincingly for the characters, adding a dark new layer to the [[Gorillaz]] story development.
