Ewan McGregor - Ewan's Minor Characters Thread 1: The best few minutes are the ones with him

**LilMouse** · 10-28-2009, 06:07 PM

Caris suggested a thread where we can talk about the movies/projects Ewan had a smaller part in, and I think that's a brilliant idea.

If I missed a movie/project, tell me.

Emma (1996) .... Frank Churchill
Brassed Off (1996) .... Andy
The Serpent's Kiss (1997) .... Meneer Chrome

Thanks for starting the thread, Vic

Glad you liked the idea and I'm sorry I couldn't set it up earlier...but I love how the OP looks so far!

**BehrItAll** · 10-28-2009, 08:47 PM

Great OP!

umm. Does Happy Feet count? It was 2 seconds and he had no lines.

**LilMouse** · 10-29-2009, 05:21 PM

Oh right Happy Feet. I didn't even see it on his imdb. It was like a blink and you'll miss him role. But it's the closest he's gotten to working with Nicole again.

**BehrItAll** · 10-29-2009, 08:46 PM

I don't think he was credited. That's why it's not on his imdb page.

Love this thread! Thanks for thinking of it Caris and starting it Vic.

Is Nightwatch a minor character? He was the lead in that. Or is it considered minor because no one saw that film and therefore, no one talks about it?

I saw it though. And I liked it. Its scary. You should rent it for Halloween.

I saw it. I couldn't stop paying attention to Ewan's American accent. I couldn't believe so many famous actors were in it like Nick Nolte, John C Riely (sp), James Brolin, and Lauren Grahm.

I didn't put it on the list because he is the lead.

**BehrItAll** · 10-30-2009, 07:01 PM

All those people are in it? I never saw it.

How is it scary?

Right. That's what I figured.

Patricia Arquette is in it, too. She plays Ewan's wife.

Most of the film is Ewan alone in a morgue. At night. And there is a killer on the loose.

Not the greatest movie ever, but good for a thrill and a Ewan-spotting.

**LilMouse** · 10-31-2009, 12:02 PM

I wouldn't say it's the scariest movie ever. More of a thriller. I think the movie was tampered with a lot, and it was a remake of an European film, so of course the original is better.

**BehrItAll** · 10-31-2009, 01:36 PM

Got to see that one some time. There are a lot I am behind on.

I still need to see his 2 seconds in Stormbreaker. Should I bother seeing the whole film?

rainydreams · 11-02-2009, 04:19 PM

I've never seen Stormbreaker, either. I don't know much of anything about that role/film.

Now I am curious about the original foreign version of Nightwatch.

**LilMouse** · 11-02-2009, 06:02 PM

Wasn't Stormbreaker a video game or something?

the original
Nattevagten (1994)

I really know nothing about it. I should probably look it up, but I am being lazy right now.

Even the title is creepier.
