It WAS a rather large monster.
Grey was also in cabaret; damen und herren!
Ricardo montalban as khan in TWoK; non-trekkies panned him until they found out He WAS The Original Khan, then decided it was right.
Dad told me once of raymond burr playing an idiot chinaman in, maybe, an early godzilla movie?

John Qualen was hired to teach John Wayne the accent. It was a decent but hokey movie.
I mentioned him in my post about Hawaii Five O where he plays a Japanese gangster. It had to be one of his first gigs.

Wiki has Rico doing american war movies from 1942, signed with mgm in '47 (did stage during the 30s in new york) got second-billing to clark gable and starred opposite esther williams, so i think the 5-0 was a lark. He was the one who killed the frito bandito ads, for instance; typecasting, discriminatiin, et.c.
Pee wee Herman was a waiter in The Blues Brothers. Tony Randall played the lead in The 7 faces of Dr. Lao.
Jerry reubens was the computer voice in flight of the navigator.
Richard Dreyfuss's first movie role was a bit part in "The Graduate". My favorite of his films is "Down and Out in Beverly Hills" (a great comedy film, by the way with Nick Nolte and Bett Midler). I always enjoy, when watching old movies, to look at the bit players and spot someone who later became a big star.
My favourite dreyfus was moon over parador. "Pbpbpbpbfft bobby deniro!"

Watching reruns of The Twilight Zone and 12 O'Clock High are two more for catching young stars.
Upwind falllout from nearby nuclear test site darned near killed half the cast, eventually. Wayne's casting was worst ever. He more than made up for it!
Upwind fallout...sounds like winds aloft at differrent directions than the ground -level stuff. I've heard 'downwinders' for years, but upwind is not in my memory.
Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. Absolutely the worst British accent ever.

Speaking of "strange movie casting," Amazon has apparently bought the rights to the James Bond franchise. Oh, goody.

This fills me with all kinds of optimism, after what they did to the literary works of Tolkien and Robert Jordan. I cannot wait to see who they come up with to play 007.
(Good news: They'll probably suggest a reboot to take the franchise back to the Sean Connery days. Bad news: The Sean Connery days they have in mind is when he filmed Zardoz.)
