HOLY CRAP, THAT’S THE SAME GUY?

"Where's the money, Alpert?!?"
Revelation of the day: Mark Pellegrino, who’s most recognizable these days as Jacob on “Lost,” also played the Blond Treehorn Thug in The Big Lebowski. So if you’re a Hollywood casting agent and you need an actor who can forcibly dunk a guy in water, Pellegrino’s your man. Up next for him: a role as a superhuman Southern Baptist preacher on “True Blood” who baptizes vampires by force.

All I know is that ever since Jacob showed up I’ve been waiting for someone to hit him in the face with a frying pan.

I heard Pellegrino was asked to play in the American Century Championship this July, but he declined.
Obviously, he’s not a golfer.
You might also remember D’angelo from Gangs of New York. He played the black guy.
@el dragonero: Vince at FilmDrunk pulled that out the first minute he saw Sledge onscreen. It was a helluva pull.
@pBeazy: I just realized that this past weekend when I caught part of The Waterboy on cable. Blew my mind.
Now you know how I felt when I figured out D’Angelo Barksdale and the kicker from “Waterboy” were the same actor.
Another, though completely unrelated, “Holy crap, that’s the same guy?” surprise is the kid playing Eugene Sledge in “The Pacific” is the same kid the Sam Neill made out with in “Jurassic Park.”
He’s also Lucifer on Supernatural.
Nice marmot.
To find Pellegrino, I have to think like Pelligrino…”I’m a big four-eyed lame-o who wears the same stupid sweater every day”…THE SPRINGFIELD RIVER!!!
Fuck Mike! He was also the hapless hitman in Mulholland Drive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7hajOYFVZQ
That mash-up just made my morning. I might not get drunk at lunch now.
in = is
The Others in not the preferred nomenclature. Others-American, please.
The only show he’s not been in was Help!… It’s the Hair Bear Bunch! And that was only because of a scheduling clash.
There ya go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg5OxQlj5zY
