John Cleese

[gandalfe]

John Cleese has done everything from David Lo Pan in Big Trouble in Little China, to Driving Miss Daisy, to the cellmate in The Green Mile, to Magic Mike, to Field of Dreams. It's amazing he isn't a household name.

He was definitely NOT Lo Pan. That was beloved character actor James Wong, playing both the wheelchair-bound version and 8 feet tall with light coming out of his mouth.

Damn. My apologies. Gandalfe is right.

Nope. Nor was he Wang, or Jack Burton, or Gracie Law.

I hope everyone here has seen BTILC. Probably my favorite Carpenter film.

He was in there somewhere. IMDB had rated it as one of his best roles.

Something something about having to explain a joke. Everyone focusing in on Big Trouble in Little China and not enough emphasis on Driving Miss Daisy and Magic Mike.

Could be wrong though
