Brian Conelly, what, why?

[snufkin]

Okay first things first, this is a US site and I'm not sure if anyone who posts here is from Britian or not so you probably will have no idea who Brian Conelly is.

Anyway, he is the guy who plays the teacher in EQ. The one who Preston throws through the library wall.

You see Brian Conelly... he's... er, an entertainer, a TV presenter etc, you know the sort. He dabbles in everything, he sings he dances he does comedy sketches and gets beaten up by Christian Bale every so often.

I just want to know why he was in EQ... very, very odd.

Sorry, what you mean "very odd?"

strange?

I'm from the UK and know what u mean, I thought it was a bit strange, but he has been in other films

It was normal, and looks good

I guess most of us the the USA had no clue who he was so we have little question as to why he is in the film. We accept what we are presented expecially when we have limited knowledge.

Interesting!!

very odd... well. I'm not sure what I meant by that really, but if you know who "Dangerous Brian" was you would understand. Good actor but I just wonder how on Earth he got involved.

Yeah, I must admit I did a real double take when I saw the film for the fist time and Brian Conelly popped up. To put it in perspective for the US members, it would be like Jerry Springer popping up in that role for no apparent reason.
Don't get me wrong, he actualy did a good job, but it's kind of a major change from everything he's done before!
