HopperUK posted:I was so pleased to find out that the Club Scumm emcee actor went on to a successful career, and that I'd even seen him, playing the recurring weatherman character in iZombie. He's a standout in that wretched film. This post made me think about some of my other favorite examples of “Other things MST3k actors have been in:” Road Rash/Backsweat/Buttcrack from Hobgoblins is Zed’s accomplice in Pulp Fiction   Dictator-for-Life Santa from Wurrwoolf is in the Black Hole Sun video   Some years ago I was watching a marathon of Unsolved Mysteries and noticed that the villain from Time Chasers was in a reenactment segment about the version of the Loch Ness Monster that apparently lives in Lake Champlain   Jean-Claude Gosh Darn from Future War was in an episode of HBO’s Barry   Troy from Final Sacrifice was in an episode of Band of Brothers for like two seconds   And here’s legendary B-movie actor Richard Lynch, aka the guy who says “nose to anus” in Warwilf getting exploded by Chuck Norris at the end of Invasion USA https://youtu.be/VdWhkdyl9bY?si=jXbWrVvvnQXA7q5t

He was the lead Agent in Reloaded after Smith went rogue (I think he's in Revolutions as well, but the Agents are only in it for a scene or two.) He filmed stuff for Resurrections but IIRC the bulk of his appearance was cut. In the first John Wick, he's the guy Wick fights during the bathhouse sequence who gives him an actual challenge.

I think Bryan Cranstons estranged father plays a soldier who gets killed by a grasshoper in The Beginning of the End. He mentions that movie in an interview about his father ditching the family.

Thanks for the heads up, I knew he was in Reloaded but I was just going off of his Wikipedia article about Resurrections Just thought of another one: Joe from This Island Earth is also the priest from the wedding scene in So I Married an Axe Murderer   Bonus fact: apparently the delivery guy next to Joe in the above pic is none other than Coleman Goddamned Francis?? I’ve seen this reported in several places throughout the internet—he’s not credited in This Island Earth, but I figured there would have been a reference in MST3k the Movie (I didn’t see any other riffs of This Island Earth so it might be mentioned in one of those, I dunno) In any case, without the presence of light aircraft we can never know the true answer

Yeah, it's clear that the RiffTrax guys like her, it's just she's in movies where her character's sister thinks a guy is blind just because he's wearing sunglasses.

My wife spotted a couple Star Trek TNG actors recently somehow. Mark Richman as Adam Chance in Agents from HARM was the guy worried about his investments, Ralph Offenhouse, when he was revived in "The Neutral Zone". Ward Costello as Dr. Robert Hedges in Terror from the Year 5000 (and now I check his imdb, also has a role in Code Name: Diamond Head) was an admiral in a couple episodes, including in Conspiracy - the exploding head episode.

The other night I watched Blood Theater, a movie Rick Sloane made before Hobgoblins. Hard as it might be to believe, Hobgoblins demonstrated some real growth for Sloane as a filmmaker. For all its faults, Hobgoblins doesn't have scenes with constant HVAC noise, or put the sound of a vacuum cleaner so prominently in the mix. Hobgoblins is also notable for having an actual ending, not just a freeze-frame. What Blood Theater does have over Hobgoblins, however, is the presence of Mary Woronov. Her character serves practically no purpose in the story, but she's there. I have to wonder if Sloane wrote the part of the psychotic phone sex lady from Hobgoblins thinking he'd get to work with her again.
