Duffless Foundation That Guy Hall of Fame


I apologize for the lack of blogs..100% of the Foundation has moved in the past couple of weeks, so we apologize, that being said, I think we owe you something, anything really. So without further ado...The Duffless Foundation That Guy Hall of Fame is inducting a new member.

This was a staple portion of the duffless foundation for about one month back in 2006, so why not, let's bring it back...

This months that guy has been in many films...in fact I feel like he's been ini a million movies...and a bit of trivia he was Hannibal Lechter way before anyone started winning oscars. Today's entry into the That Guy Hall Of Fame definitely follows the rules of the game...which of course is...Mention a movie...someone asks you who is in it, you say the actors name, and when they look at you not knowing who you are talking about you say...you know, he was the guy that was the bad guy in whatever movie...and then they say...Oh yeah That Guy! We all know how it works...

But anyway, Today's nominee is none other than Brian Cox...Who's that you say? Well, he is not the former nfl linebacker that was suspended for flipping off fans (remember when that was a suspendable offense?) and won a superbowl with the Patriots. I'm talking Brian Cox who you might know best as The Headmaster from the movie Rushmore...Oh yeah...That Guy!

Brian has been in such movies as the aforementioned Rushmore, XMen, Running With Scissors, The 25th Hour, The bourne movies, Adaptation, The Rookie, For The Love Of The Game, Braveheart, and what must have been his proudest moment...The Glimmer Man starring Steven Seagal. I mean, check him out on IMDB this guy has been in tons of movies. He's from Scotland, but he's played Scots, Brits, Yanks, Irishmen, and apparently Russians too.

So Brian Cox, congratulations on having a name that will not only always make immature people giggle, but will also be remembered as being in the Duffless Foundation That Guy Hall of Fame.

That guy has never turned down a role. Ever. He's in some of the best movies ever and some of the worst movies ever. Mr. Cox loves the paycheck!

I actually had a that guy moment regarding Brian Cox last month. My brother and I were watching the Bourne Ultimatum and when Albert Finney's character appeared, we were wondering what was going on because we thought he killed himself in the Bourne Supremacy. Nay, it was that guy that looks like Albert Finney.

Dan, another great example of the that guy, when you can't remember what that guy is which.

i think Brian Cox is very similar to both albert finney and Brian Dennehy...although I think Brian Dennehy has become bloated enough that no one would confuse him with anyone.

Agreed Dan about Finney/Cox comparison. Shame on Fuge for omitting Super Troopers!
