"Spot the Celebrity" Scavenger Hunt 10/03/12

[modelmgt]

I'm just gonna come out and say I'm a HUGE movie freak, (possibly with a P-H?) Consequently, I have come to spot a couple of celebrities in different roles, back before anyone knew 'em, and in some cases, when they were unfortunately well-known and CLEARLY wanted to go unrecognized!
Below is a list of celebrities and what they were in; what I'm wanting is for every 1 to come back and tell me who they were in the movie or TV show I list them in.(describe them if no name is given)
Feel free to google them if you still have no idea who they are!
*No fair looking up the cast of the movies or T.V. I list them in! The goal is to HUNT for them

#1: Hal Sparks (comedian, he has done a lot of comentary on the various VH1 "I Love The.." Specials.

#4, second movie: Mr. D'Onofrio was the abusive farmer husband that turned into a giant cockroach from outer space.

#5, first movie: Mr. Rubens was the vampire sidekick whose death scene went on and on and on, for like half an hour, and which continued through the credits.
#5, second movie: Mr. Rubens was the superhero whose power was farting. (Freaking hilarious!)

Oh gosh that giant cockroach thing was horrible, it just makes me squirm! I thought that was the second MIB movie, but they both kind of blended into one in the end...

Wasn't PeeWee one of the trick or treaters in NBC? Lock or Shock? I can never remember which of them is which, but one of them, possibly.

I know Seth Green and Alyson Hannigan best from Buffy, I'm going to go with what I know and randomly suggest they might also have been a couple in 'My Stepmother Is An Alien'; although I've never seen the film, so I'm probably way off the mark. Gah, I want to go and rewatch Buffy now! ;D

Based on something I recently learned, and something I recently remembered, I have added TWO MORE CELEBRITIES for you guys to hunt! Oh Boy! ;D
I have also added a bonus question about Vincent D'Onofrio that you can also find the answer to in the credits of one of the two movies

Also, keep those answers coming, 'cause everyone that gave a specific answer as to who the celebs played has been correct!
Amylu:

SPOILER: Click to show

You are really close on Seth Green and Alison Hannigan

I'm proud of you guys for knowing almost as much useless information as I do!

Oh, COME ON!

Mandy Patinkin, first role: "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. My name is Inigo Montoya! You killed my father! Prepare to die!" (repeat gleefully, over and over, in a terrible Spanish accent, until someone throws something at you)

And Amy, the giant cockroach was the first MiB. The second MiB had a giant slug/snake thing. I haven't seen #3 yet.

You're fabulous, Esmei! Now go and find Mr. Patinkin as I FIRST came to know him, in his other role there.. I just got that little princess bride snippet reminded to me today and went OMFG THAT'S MANDY PATINKIN?! When I saw who he was in PB..
Yeah the way I knew it was MIB 1 was that it was Will Smith's character's first trip out and Tommy-Lee Jones had the little gadget he used to verify that it was indeed a "bug"

Was the giant slug thing the one in the underground (sorry, I think it's a subway for you guys!) with a flower on its head? Or am I getting confused? And which one was Jonny Knoxville in?

We're definitely in 'movies amylu hasn't seen' territory now with everything else though.

[esmeiolanthe]

Johnny Knoxville was in MiB II. Although he does look very much like Vincent D'Onfrio, so it can be confusing. The thing with the flower on its head was in the first one (I think), but it wasn't a major character, so that wasn't what I was referring to.

And you haven't seen "The Princess Bride"?! I don't care what you're doing right now -- go find a copy and watch it! It's one of the best movies EVER!

The other movies, though, I haven't seen.

PS: I know what an "underground" is, so no worries.

[amylu1988]

I know! *hides* I almost bought it the other day, so many people have told me to see it! Mine was very much a Disney childhood, to the point where it was pretty much all the videos I owned. There's a lot of great films I haven't seen, but I'm getting through watching them now.

The Godfather, for instance, I watched for the first time this year (and Godfather II, but we have yet to watch III). Amazing! And I hadn't watched a single Western/cowboy film until last year, either.

[modelmgt]

Without watching them over again, I'd have to say the giant slug with the flower was MIB II, as was Knoxville, 'cause "Agent Jay" was thoroughly comfortable with his job by then
