That Guy... Who Was in That Thing

An interesting look into the less glamorous but equally important side of acting. These men are regular working, familiar faces that very few people can name. However, without their contributions to the films and series they frequent, those film films would surely suffer.

There are a lot of interesting stories from character actors in this, but I have to take major points off for the overall technical quality, which is very poor. Indications are that this was compiled over a period of several years and then hastily edited together.

Film does an excellent job at showing the ambiguity of the lives of actors who've come to terms with the fact that they might never "make it." Not sure why the film decided to limit the actors to 15 white men and one black guy, though - I'd appreciate the film a little more if there was little more diversity.

Informative and interesting if you're a film nerd type (I like things concerning the practicalities and Xander Berkely is good in everything he pops up in - even this) but it feels a little light, and some of the more notable works these guys have done have been oddly overshadowed. Also, no Philip Baker Hall? The thinking man's That Guy? For shame.

While the content was interesting, it just didn't flow well and was not all that engaging to watch. The actor's insights were intriguing but the editing made it drag.

A couple of interesting stories do not a feature-length documentary make. I remember those involved exactly the same as I did before: not much.

Interesting look into the realities of being a non A-list actor in Hollywood. Not really memorable, but worth a watch if nothing else is on.
