Awwwww no…
I really liked Ray Liotta while simultaneously being terrified by him.

Same. Everyone who worked with him is saying he was a really sweet guy, nothing like the creeps he often played.

What seemed to be a potentially light-hearted Jonathan Demme comedy took a crazy turn when Ray Liotta shows up in Something Wild.
He was awesome.

Same. I find Robert Carlyle fucking terrifying on screen but actually he’s really nice too.

Yes. And Su Tissue also added a touch of kooky whimsy to the film.

I’ve been trying to find his scenes from SNL where he did a sing-along of “Getting to Know You” with the audience. It was terrifying.

Yeah, it looked like a trite romcom before that, but suddenly it was something more interesting.

A friend took me to see Trainspotting when it came out. I didn’t see Mr Carlyle in anything until folks on tumblr filled my dashboard w/Rumpelstiltskin, etc stuff.
No, wait. My BF hipped me to 28 Weeks Later, which I loathed, refused to finish, and worked hard to forget as much of as poss. I was fairly successful, as I don’t recall his being in it!
I didn’t catch Jonny Lee Miller in anything again until (the Yankistani Sherlock Holmes series) Elementary.
When my BF tried the Trainspotting sequel on me (which also didn’t take), I freaked TF out. I’d never re-watched the orig film (OMG no), so seeing the two of them in the sequel messed with my head. I (thought I) vividly remembered the aptly named Sick Boy, and just couldn’t believe it had been Mr Miller. I still don’t see his face below That Hair in the orig film. I can clearly picture him in the sequel.
I normally remember actors after seeing them only once, even in tiny roles, if they make enough of an impression on my sealing wax-like mind, and will remember where I’d seen them. I can’t believe I didn’t remember the two of them, b/c both are so great! Maybe b/c it’s a painful, occasionally really gross movie, so my brain didn’t hang on to stuff as usual.
I’ll “remember” films I’ve never seen, often w/in seconds, if I read about them once a thousand years ago. Cracks me up.

It’s works since Demme used the music in the movie!
