You've seen his name in credits dozens of times.

Without Googling/web searching:

Who is Robert Zajonc?

Wasn't he in that movie? You know, the one with the guy who does that thing when the other thing happens? You know, that one?

I have one of those. For me, it's Tak Fujimoto. I don't know why, but his name always stands out in movies and I first noticed it 1986. If you look at his credits from there, you see why it kept showing up. I'm, of course, assuming that you just noticed his name once and then kept seeing it. If you have a personal connection to him then it's nothing like me and Tak. [Wink]

saxy, of course he was. Everyone was in that movie. That is one of the best movies to use when playing that Kevin Bacon game. Don't you just love that movie? Isn't that the one with the line, "It doesn't do anything. That's the beauty of it."

No you're thinking of the one with the guy (same guy) who does the thing when the other other thing happens.

I saw the previews for that movie, but haven't gotten around to seeing it. I'll wait 'till it comes out on video.

Okay, I give up.

I've seen Tak Fujimoto before, but I can't remember what he's done.

Arrrggghhh..

That man has been in a ridiculous amount of movies.

My question to you Bob is, did you really think anyone would get that without googling it?

If you were truly giving up, then you would tell us who this "Robert Zajonc" is.

Spoiler Alert! If you want to wonder, don't read this!!









Tak Fujimoto is a cinematographer. He's done 52 movies including Pretty In Pink, Ferris Bueller, Silence Of The Lambs, The Sixth Sense and Signs.

Robert Zajonc is, apparently, the only helicopter pilot in LA, which is why he's been either the aerial coordinator or cast as "helicopter pilot" in over 200 films.

This one may be quite easy and I can't say that it applies to movies as much as tv shows but who can identify Mike Post?

If anyone watched Hill Street Blues, I don't know how they couldn't know his name. My favorite, however, is Tenspeed and Brownshoe. God, I loved that show. It had my favorite dancer (at the time) and an up and coming hottie in it. (Ben Vereen and Jeff Goldblum.) Who didnt't love that show?
