That would be Sean Bean.

The movie mentioned in .0 about the serial murders was "The
slaughter of the innocents" and Tommy Lee Jones did not play a part in
the movie. The part of the FBI father was played by the same guy who
played the FBI head of Serial crime in "the Silence of the Lambs",
If you want to see Tommy Lee Jones in what I consider to be one of
his best performances check out "Lonesome Dove".

Tommy was "The Package" in the movie of the same name, starring
Gene Hackman.
And "Black Moon Rising" was a great movie.

| re .5
Scott Glenn played the FBI agent/Father in "Slaughter of the
Innocents". Normally a title like this would be enough to put me off
of a film, but I was suffering from jet lag in a hotel and it was
either HBO or CNN...MC

He graduated from Harvard, and was supposedly a roommate of Al Gore.

So was John Cleese. So what?
The question is, was Tommy Lee Jones in "Silverado" and if so, what
character did he play?
|
413.15 | | GODIVA::bence | Leave time for the unexpected. | Mon Jan 03 1994 11:02 | 6 |
|
Since Scott Glenn was mistaken for Tommy Lee Jones in "The Silence
of the Lambs", it is also possible that the same mistake was made in
reference to "Silverado".

| Tommy Lee was not in Silverado. The guy who kinda sorta looked like
him was indeed, Scott Glenn. (who's a pretty good actor himself)

Actually, when I first saw Scott in that serial killer movie I
thought he looked like Lance Henricksen ["Horror Show", "Pumpkin-
head", "Terminator"].

[Hey, I don't think Scott Glenn looks *anything* like Lance Henriksen.
But they look more like each other than either of 'em looks like Jones.
And what about Harry Dean Stanton???]

| Horror/sf writer K. W. Jeter looks a lot like Harry Dean Stanton.
Some people say that horror/sf writer Tim Powers looks like Jack
Lemmon, but I don't see it. On the other hand, Gaston's comic relief
henchpeasant in Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST does look exactly like
Fred Flintstone.

| re .21, I was at a dinner a couple of years ago and a guy at a nearby
table looked so much like Harry Dean Stanton that I found myself
staring at him all evening until, at one point, I realized that he was
looking back at me with a "What's your problem?" expression on his
face, and I was forced to stop staring. Maybe it was K. W. Jeter. :-)

| He was also in the thoroughly fun flick, "Nate and Hayes", playing the
latter. Michael O'Keefe (Bonnie Rait's husband) played Nate. Great
circa 1880's pirate movie.

| I can't believe it took that long for someone to bring up Nate and
Hays. That is a must see for any TLJ film. He is one of the actors
that finaly gets big and then you see old movies and relize that he was
in them and can't believe you didn't notice him.
|
413.34 | straying a bit from the topic | 65320::RIVERS | Stupid, STUPID rat creatures! | Wed May 25 1994 11:00 | 13 |
| Nate and Hayes also has (as "Nate") Michael O'Keefe, who (for
TV/Roseanne fans) is Fred on Roseanne. Obligatory reference to him
also being Bonnie Raitt's husband. A couple other movie roles he's
been in was "Caddyshack" and "The Great Santini" (aka "The Ace").
For the 10 or so years that's passed between Nate and Hayes and his
role on Roseanne, he sure hasn't lost his youthful looks.

413.37 | One of the best | 5315::CLARK | | Mon Jul 04 1994 17:07 | 5 |
| The first movie where he got my attention was "Rolling Thunder". Been a
fan since that one. It is on video for all those fans reading this who
might have missed it. Guarantee you will NOT be bored. He's always done
a great job in any film I have seen him in and now have a lot of
earlier films to catch up on.

Saw 'The Client' the other night and thought it was a good film so im
going to read the book.
Tommy Lee Jones did ok in it but his character didnt really feature
as much as i expected.
I've only seen a few of his films but the last two he was in that i
saw were a waste of talent where he was only a supporting character
rather than the star.(The Fugitive,The Client)
I think he should be cast more often as a lead rather than a support
...if you know what i mean..
