Today's entry in this series (which I now have added tags for if you want to see older posts), features the ultimate version of a bit player - the stand-in. Today's player stood in for legendary actor Gene Hackman in every one of Hackman's films from 1989 to 2001. He also had bit parts in a few other films. Some of the famous movies he appeared in include Mr. Baseball, Unforgiven, Geronimo, Wyatt Earp, Quick and the Dead, Waterworld, Get Shorty, The Chamber, and The Royal Tenenbaums.

Interesting stuff. I actually think Goossen looks like an older version of John Cena more than he looks like Hackman.
