@smeg@Sergio He was excellent as the captain in The Poseidon Adventure.
I don't think he'd have nearly been as good a comedic actor without the serious background, since so much of the comedy is based on subversion of drama tropes.
@LaurenceWolse The soundtrack around 5:28 sounded really familiar, and I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out where I'd heard it before. Finally realized that it's from Deep Throat. On the soundtrack album, it's called "Pussy Cola," though I think a lot of those titles were made up just to have name for the tracks.
@MisterBigFart Watched this one today, phenomenal. I think my favorite part is when they show photos of murder victims, but you can see they're just headshots of some women. Probably actors who auditioned for the film.
