Oliver Platt in YEAR ONE -
My favorite Carradine will always be John. The other Carradines would never had been if not for Dad. His career was pretty much winding down when I first start paying attention but I will never forget his role in EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT SEX BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK (1972)
I have recently become a fan of his son, Keith. His recent role in the FX version of FARGO rekindled my interest. He had a small role in THE POWER OF THE DOG which I just saw. BTW, I didn't think that movie was great. It was OK to good...but not Oscar worthy IMHO.

I'm pretty sure it's Walter Pidgeon.
I see where he performed with Mae West in her last film appearance, SEXTETTE (1977). It was also Pidgeon's last film. I haven't seen it.
Now, as for Lugosi, that was more troublesome. The only film I could see that they both appeared in was VIENNESE NIGHTS (1930). However, Lugosi's role was "uncredited". Pidgeon had a solid supporting role.
I will wait to see if this is correct before I come up with another teaser.

I never looked to see if that was Rickman's first role because I just assumed he had several already. LOL.
Next: MASH (1970)

Taylor Fry?
She played Bruce Willis' daughter. Child actress without a lot of credits. I'm thinking you're looking for someone else so I'll wait for your OK.
I also see a guy named Lorenzo Caccialanza. Looks like he might have played one of Alan Rickman's henchmen. Him? I don't recognize him either.

Charlotte Coleman as "Scarlett". She was delightful. So many nice characters in that film. Perfectly cast. She died tragically of an asthma attack (I think) at age 31. Very sad.

I don't see it on IMDb.....but you're probably right.
It's odd. He is listed under the movie cast for that film but not under his filmography.
Maybe we both are right? 🤪

I think it's John Houseman, who was mainly a producer, director, and acting teacher until he won a Supporting Actor Oscar for "The Paper Chase". He also appeared in the TV series of the same name.
He appeared with Fred Astaire in "Ghost Story", with Max Von Sydow in "Three Days Of The Condor", with James Caan in "Rollerball", with Orson Welles in "Too Much Johnson", and with Bill Murray in "Scrooged".
John Houseman co-founded the Mercury Theater, a radio theater group, with Orson Welles in the 1930's. The two later had a falling out.
That was excellent. Did something just trigger that answer? What was the clue that led you to Houseman? I wanted to stump you guys.
I've always loved Houseman. My favorite? "In the future there will be no wars, but there will be ROLLERBALL!"
I had a client way back who had moved to NW CT where I practiced who owned a little country cinema. He had been part of the NY theater scene for years and had retired to our neck of the woods and bought the rundown, country theater and turned it into an art house that showed pretty much foreign and independent films. It became quite popular even as it was not much of a money maker. The guy used to let me and my wife go for free in exchange for services for his many cats. He always said he never had the revenue to attract block busters so he stuck to the quirky, little known stuff. He had been a good friend with Houseman in the 40's- 80's and they often collaborated in workshops, etc. in NYC. He said Houseman was actually incredibly friendly and irreverent. A great party guest. Sadly, he never got him to come up to CT for a visit.
Regardless, your thread Miles.

Here goes.
This Oscar winning actor had a career that spanned 50 years. He appeared in films along side such storied actors as Fred Astaire, Max Von Sydow, James Caan, Orson Welles...and even Bill Murray.
Interestingly, his first and 2nd credited film performances were separated by 35 years. That's the tricky part. Can you name him? Can you name the films that he appeared in with the aforementioned actors? Can you name his Oscar winning role and film?

ALIEN (1979) To this day it is quintessentially, the scariest movie ever. In this universe, in this lifetime. I can't believe that movie is 42 years old. I have to watch it with the lights on.
MOBY DICK (1956) again, for me, considering the time in which it was made, it builds to one of the most harrowing endings in cinematic history. I'll never forget it.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS (1946) A book I read in high school that the movie cemented in my memory. Simply a wonderful work of fiction. Great book. Great movie.
SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE (1972) Another favorite book that the movie faithfully followed.
RAN (1985) Ask me what film first made me appreciate the "art" of filmmaking and I'll answer RAN.
PULP FICTION (1994) A completely unique way to combine, drama, noir, humor, dialog, musical score, editing.....everything about it is artistic. I watch it every time as though it's the first time.
STARMAN (1984) My daughter was 5-6 years old and we laid on the couch together and watched this movie on a snowy, dreary afternoon. It was the first non-animated movie I think she and I ever watched together. When the Starman goes out and revives the deer that had been shot and tied to the hood of the car my daughter cried with joy and couldn't turn away. She and I are the cinemaphiles in our family. It all started with that movie.
