Every once in a while you’re watching a movie and see someone, usually a somewhat minor character, and you say, “Oh, HIM!” You don’t normally remember their real names, just that you’ve seen them somewhere before and you spend the next few minutes trying to remember what other movie it was. They’re often different for different people, because we remember actors differently.
