Madeline Stowe; she was in a movie, right?

Edited by Trini Girl, Jan 19, 2012 @ 6:51 PM.

[jupiterose]

She was Mel Gibson's wife in "We Were Soldiers". I'm sure she has been in a lot of others as well, but that's where I know her from.

EVC has been in a couple of other really great shows, Everwood and Brothers & Sisters. Though I suppose great is a bit of a stretch for Brothers & Sisters.

Nick Wechsler was in Roswell. Loved that show so much. So, I was really excited to see him finally do something again.

Those are the big ones I recognized right off the bat.

[jessied112]

Mainly I know Connor Paolo from Gossip Girl. It's sad, but he's the reason why I started watching the show.

I've seen Josh Bowman in a few shows, but Make It or Break It is the first that pops into my head. He was in the only episode I ever really watched of that show.

Christa B. Allen has been in a few shows here and there.

I recognized EVC from Everwood.

Madeline Stowe she was in a movie, right?

She's been in quite a few, though I haven't seen most of them. She was in Last of the Mohicans opposite a very hunky (in that role) Daniel Day-Lewis and she was awesome (and so, so beautiful). Love that movie. I watch it whenever it's on.

[callietwo]

Christa B. Allen was the teen version of the character played by Jennifer Garner in the movie 13 going on 30 (I will admit my irrational adoration for Mark Ruffalo as the reason for my having watched this damn movie about a million times!)

There is NOTHING irrational about that.

I remember noticing Christa in that movie and really liking her performance, for some reason (maybe because I'm not a huge Jennifer Garner fan). But there's something about her...It will be interesting to see where the character goes.

Henry Czerny - before he was ruthless on Revenge, he was in the Tudors as Ann Boleyn's uncle, the Duke of Norfolk.

[Spartan Girl]

The guy that plays Declan was Teddy in the Law and Order SVU episode "Web" -- he was a teen who turned into a pedophile because he had been molested by his father and was exploiting himself and his brother on the web. That episode still makes me cringe. "Teddy's treehouse" *shudders*

[corvus13]

The first thing I every saw Henry Czerny in was "The Boys of St. Vincent", where he played a pedophile priest. Very searing movie.

He's one of a large number of Canadians in the cast of "Revenge", including Emily VanCamp and James Tupper.

I know Madeline Stowe from 12 Monkeys, which was about Bruce Willis as future guy getting sent back into the past to study the evolution of a virus.

I know Gabrel Mann as the seriously cute Alan M from Josie and the Pussycats, as well as Kenny in the movie Cherry Falls. That movie basically skewered the whole "only virgins live" stereotype of movies.


Margarita Levieva was Lisa P in the movie Adventureland. She plays a small-town hot girl, and very representative of the 1980's.

Madeline Stowe was in a military thriller movie with John Travolta about ten years ago called The General's Daughter. It didn't get very good reviews but it made a lot of money and I liked it for what it was. Stowe's character is a complete 180 from Victoria Grayson -- a straightforward, by-the-book investigator.

[gradtg]

Madeliene Stowe was in a number of big movies in the early to mid 90's. She's actually the reason I decided to watch "Revenge." [/b] I love "12 Monkeys" and she was beyond gorgeous in "Last of the Mohicans". She's also in "Bad Girls" (which I'd forgotten about) a western about a gang of women also starring Andie McDowell, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Drew Barrymore. Madeliene and Andie had the top billing.

I keep meaning to mention that I watched this show on Netflix over the holidays called "Love & Mary" starring Gabriel Mann and Lauren German from Hawaii Five-0. It's I guess an indy rom-com and it's... not really very good (I like rom coms and have a pretty high tolerance), but Gabriel Mann is amazing. He plays twin brothers, both in love with Mary. She's engaged to the nerdy one but of course falls in love with the "bad" one when he has to pretend to be his brother to meet her family. Anyway, it was really fun to see Gabriel playing to very different characters in the same movie and both are very different than Nolan. The nerdy brother is seriously nerdy and off-putting and really soft looking, while the "bad" brother is quite sexy and sort of athletic looking (well, he wears a baseball cap instead of a pocket protector). He really seems like a totally different guy, not the same actor playing two roles.

[colmc]

Henry Czerny played Robert Ritter in Clear and Present Danger. He was a bad dude and co-worker of Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford).

[MysticalTime]

Gabriel Mann was Arthur Case in Mad Men, that younger man in season two who had a crush on Betty.

Henry Czerny - before he was ruthless on Revenge, he was in the Tudors as Ann Boleyn's uncle, the Duke of Norfolk.

I thought I recognized him from somewhere. He was so handsome and deliciously manipulative in that role as he is in this one.

[Justine2003]

Gabriel Mann was also in High Art, a movie I've seen many times but only recently realized he was in it because I wasn't familiar with him before Revenge and Mad Men. The movie is from 1998 so he looks extremely young in it. Most of the film focuses on the characters played by Radha Mitchell and Ally Sheedy (GM plays Radha's boyfriend), but GM is in a few scenes and has a decent part in it.

[darkestboy]

Like Connor Paolo, Emily Van Camp was in an episode of Law And Order: SVU. She also played Rebecca Harper for most of Brothers & Sisters life span as well.

I recognise Ashley Madekwe from the second and third seasons of Secret Diary Of A Call Girl.

[atyleung]

Out of the whole cast, Madeleine Stowe is definitely the biggest name. I remember seeing her in all sorts of movies in the 90's and then it just seemed like she disappeared. When I heard she was going to play Victoria on "Revenge," I thought it was perfect casting.

In addition to the films you all have already listed (12 Monkeys, Last of the Mohicans, Bad Girls, We Were Soldiers, The General's Daughter), she was also in:

-Unlawful Entry (She and Kurt Russell play a couple terrorized by cop Ray Liotta)

-Blink (She is a blind woman who is witness to a murder that she must help detective Aidan Quinn solve)

-And as it was previously mentioned a while back (in our previous mega-long Revenge thread), MS was actually in a movie called "Revenge," playing Kevin Costner's love interest.


Margarita Levieva was in the 2009 movie Spread with Ashton Kutcher. It's quite a provocative movie with a lot of nudity. Ashton plays a guy who basically makes his living by sleeping around with rich women. He meets and falls in love with Margarita's character, who happens to be doing the exact same thing with rich men.

Henry Czerny played Kitrich in the first Mission Impossible. He's the one in the cafe with Tommy when he blows up the fish tank. He played a dick in that movie, too.

[Trini Girl]

Margarita Levieva will be a recurring in the 2nd season of Luck.

[janie jones]

Christa B. Allen was the teen version of the character played by Jennifer Garner in the movie 13 going on 30

Whoa. That's why I thought she looked familiar!

[roswellian]

I actually came to this show for Nick Wecsler who played Kyle, the Sheriff's son in Roswell, which was already mentioned.

I am an avid watching of Make it or Break it and their third season is about to start and I don't plan on seeing Max the character that the dude who plays Daniel played. Luckily in the last season he got into a serious car accident that could have ruined his gymnastics career. His character WAS really hot and an interesting bisexual character.

Connor Paolo stars in a great vampire movie called Stake Land. It was actually made in 2009 but just saw a DVD release last year. He is the main character and in almost every scene. NOT for the faint-hearted. It is bloody and serious about it. This is not a tongue-in-cheek film.

Madeline Stowe was in one of my guilty pleasures Worth Winning. She stars along with Mark Harmon. It is a pretty silly film and she plays a pianist who is very outgoing and fun. Basically MH's character (Taylor Worth) is a womanizer who gets into a bet where he has to get 3 women to agree to marry him in 3 months. MS is one of the women as is Leslie Ann Warren. True love follows. Stupid but I can't help but enjoy it.

Madeleine Stowe "broke out" in a movie in 1987 with Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez called "Stakeout." I saw it; thought she was fine and the movie was funny enough, but not A-list or anything.

Then she appeared in a movie with Kevin Costner called, ironically enough, Revenge, in which she played the young wife of Anthony Quinn; very dark and very twisted, too much for me.

That same year, Costner won all his awards for Dances with Wolves; Stowe would have been great in that.

Two years later. 1992, came Last of the Mohicans and she and Daniel Day Lewis were superb in it. Should have won all sorts of awards. And several lines of dialogue in the Revenge finale were eerily similar: "I'll see you in hell." And her stance while saying that to Conrad: almost a mirror image of a Mohicans scene.

She did Blink and The General's Daughter, then disappeared for awhile to raise her kids; Revenge, the TV show, seems to be her comeback.

I certainly hope she DOES come back -- but she's a quirky lady and has never followed Hollywood convention.

What I think is most amazing about her is that she really doesn't look much older than she did 25 years ago -- she's now 53.


ETA: I, too, am a Wechsler fan from Roswell. William Sadler (of Die Hard 2 and the Shawshank Redemption) played his dad on Roswell and essentially taught him to act. But Nick was clearly a natural -- and his understatedness, which some people interpret as "boring," is part of his style.

I'm kind of tickled to see him land a big role in a hit series, a feat which has eluded many of the other Roswell stars, except Katherine Heigl, although she managed to throw away her grey's anatomy fame by being a whiner and a diva.

I was watching Josie and The Pussycats (the movie with Rachel Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson and Tara Reid), and who do I see? Gabriel Mann, playing Alan M, the romantic interest of Josie. He's pretty adorable and very goofy and maybe sings? It was very random but kind of awesome.

[awesometvgal]

I first saw Gabriel Mann in the Bourne Identity and a film called Buffalo Soldiers which is a quirky war Indie. I love how he looks and acts completely different from those roles in Revenge. He really has fun with it.

[ElectricBoogalo]

I was flipping channels and happened to catch the beginning of an episode of Little House on the Prairie where a very young Madeleine Stowe guest starred as a blind painter. Her voice sounds exactly the same but she was only 22 when she did this show.

[Trini Girl]

Hiroyuki Sanada (Takeda) to be in the next Wolverine movie.

[corvus13]

Margarita Levieva is in an upcoming movie called "Knights of Badassdom", along with Peter Dinklage, Ryan Kwanten, Summer Glau, Steve Zahn and Joshua Malina.

[Beautiful Leah]

They didn't share any scene, but Madeleine Stowe and Jennifer Jason Leigh were both in one of my favorite Robert Altman movies, Short Cuts. And of course Leigh has had many memorable roles in movies like eXistenZ, Single White Female,Washington Square, Kansas City (also by Altman) and The Hudsucker Proxy

Margarita Levieva was really good in the 2007 movie The Invisible, in which she played a troubled teenager and High School bully

I first saw Ashley Madekwe in the British series Bedlam. Her character, Molly, was pretty much the opposite of Revenge's Ashley ( a jobless, sentimental flower child type who just wants to find true love), but she was still the most underused memeber of the main cast. Must be annoying.

I was watching The Bourne Identity the other night, for reasons unrelated to Revenge, but it was still fun to spot Gabriel Mann. He played the underling to CIA baddie Conklin (Chris Cooper), and it was hilarious to me how much he looked like the government office drones who populate DC. I've worked with guys who could be his character's twin. Are they all capable of becoming bright-color wearing preppy tech billionaires if they grow out their buzz cuts?

Emily Van Camp was great in Everwood. All the trials and tribulations of adolescence, which made me want to shake her character and tell her to get over herself, but it was perfectly conveyed.
