No, he's Rodrigo Prieto, the cinematographer on BBM.

I thought that Randall was hot in Brokeback Mountain, with his beard and dreamy eyes. The actor who played that part, David Harbour, was up for a 2005 Tony award and had a part in the recent Book of Daniel. Another unsung hero in the BBM cast.

I just saw David Harbour last week on stage in Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf.  He was amazing!  even better looking without the beard  :)

Um...I'm assuming he wasn't Martha - so was he George or Nick?  I would guess Nick.

Just saw this on a Linda Cardellini site....

[snip]

Cardellini's also reveling in the attention she's lately received for a different job, playing a waitress who gets involved with Heath Ledger's character in "Brokeback Mountain."

"It's amazing," she said. "I went to the Golden Globes for the first time, and the movie won four awards, and it's won so many critics' awards, and it's been such a beautiful and overwhelming... ride and I feel so privileged to be part of the movie."
And no, she wasn't surprised that a movie about a love affair between two men would have at least three decent roles for women.

"Knowing [screenwriter] Larry McMurtry and knowing Diana Ossana [his writing partner] now and seeing their work with Annie Proulx, I think that they're such incredible writers, the three of them, that there weren't going to be any parts that weren't three-dimensional, which I really loved about the script," Cardellini said.

"For my character, she was only there for a relatively short time [but] she really has a lot to do and a lot to do with the story," even though she's only briefly mentioned in Proulx's original story.
"I think the line is... that he's put the blocks to a little waitress who wants to become a nurse, funny enough," she said.

"I was thinking, 'Thank God, they created a character out of that.' "

I just loved Roberta Maxwell when she puts those shirts into the paper bag for Ennis.  Did anyone notice that extra half second she holds the shirts in her hand before putting them into the paper bag?  She has lost her only child and has few momentos of him and yet freely and lovingly gives up one more part of him to the one person on earth that the shirts would mean something to.  As Jack's shirt has come to symbolize Jack to Ennis, it is as if the shirt is a symbol of Jack to her and she is taking that extra half second to say good-bye to her boy. 

That small moment just kills me.

I agree.  Robert Maxwell deserves an award.  (I won't use the word "Oscar" for that is discredited to me at the moment.)   If they gave an award for acting Cameos, she should do it.  The emotional payoff at the end of the film wouldn't have been nearly as much with a lesser actress.

I will be referring to her always to other actors as proof that there are no small roles.  :)

----------------

I think Rodrigo is a studmuffin.  :)   I

Here's a good interview with him.  It's pre-Brokeback so there isn't anything there about that.  But, it is interesting.

The Cinematography in Brokeback is phenomenal.  I'm really sad he didn't win.  At least he lost to the guild winner and someone who was seen as a meritorious choice.

Quaid Sues Brokeback
« Reply #70 on: March 23, 2006, 07:19:04 PM »

Randy Quaid has sued Focus Features  for $10 million saying he was duped into working for almost nothing:

http://cbs2.com/entertainment/local_story_082205533.html

Very odd, I can't believe he spent more than 2 days shooting, and the exposure he got should get him a lot more role.

End of the lovefest.

In regards to Anna Faris, she also had a small part in Lost In Translation.  I've not seen any of the Scary Movie series, but I hope that someone casts her in a larger role sometime soon.

What I so enjoy about all of these roles, from LaShawn to Jack's parents to Monroe (She's in the condiment aisle) and more is that they're fleshed out people. They have a past, and, unless I'm getting carried away here, they all have a specific future.  We all could probably guess what will happen to Jack's parents after the movie ends. Same for LaShawn and Randy, Joe Aguirre and others.

Beautiful writing, beautiful acting.

Quaid is ridiculous.

He did a good job as Aguirre, but the film hardly rested on him or even pivoted on him.  Any great character actor would have sufficed.

No one expected this film to do as well as it did.  It took 8 years to get made for a reason.  This was hardly a big studio, easy-money opportunity.

What spooky is that Quaid is continuing the trend of the actors to have post-movie experience parallel to their roles.

Heath - hooks up with the woman who played is wife and they have a lovely daughter together.

Jake - states that if he were sexually attracted to a man, he wouldn't be afraid of it.

Quaid - Like Aguirre, he's still counting sheep.

Quaid must not realize that there are possible risks/wins with each and every movie made.  I've looked up a lot of movies at boxofficemojo to see what their total grosses were.  Except for the obvious blockbusters, it's really amazing how many movies do not capture back even their production costs.  With Quaid's reasoning, studios that have lost money on movies should be able to go back to their actors and ask for some of their salaries back!!  No movie made is a sure thing, just as no movie made is a sure loser.

 :D LOL  :D

He must realize this will not make him popular in an industry where that matters.  I guess Brokeback got him bad.
