Bet You Forgot These Actors Were Also in The Princess Bride
This week, as soon as Cary Elwes revealed he had written a book detailing what it was like making The Princess Bride, we started to remember everything we loved about the movie in the first place. Most obviously, we got all nostalgic over all the most quotable moments, which of course, still fit perfectly into your everyday life in wonderful ways. But then we got to thinking, what happened to all the film's actors? Turns out, they've been right under our noses all this time. Keep scrolling to see where you've definitely seen the entire cast before and just didn't make the connection.
Cary Elwes
You may know Cary Elwes as the charming stable boy and masked swordsman Westley, but you probably didn't know he was . . .
Dr. Lawrence Gordon in Saw! Yep, he's definitely the guy who hacks off his leg in the first movie.
Robin Wright
You remember how gorgeous the film's actual princess bride was, right? Well, maybe you forgot she's also . . .
Claire Underwood on House of Cards. She's gotten the Golden Globe and two additional Emmy nominations for this role, by the way.
Mandy Patinkin
In The Princess Bride, Inigo Montoya is trying to avenge the death of his father. Kind of a far cry from . . .
Saul Berenson on Homeland, who's trying to protect America. He was also on Chicago Hope and Criminal Minds and has had more than a handful of successful runs on Broadway.
Chris Sarandon
You loved to hate him as Prince Humperdinck, but you might not have known he was . . .
The voice of Jack Skellington in The Nightmare Before Christmas. Crazy, right?!
Wallace Shawn
We'll say it: Shawn has a pretty distinct voice, and you know you've heard it outside of his role as Vizzini. But if pressed, you probably can't recall exactly where. Well, one notable role he's played since was . . .
Cyrus Rose on Gossip Girl! He's also been on Desperate Housewives and Sex and the City, and who could forget his role as Mr. Hall in Clueless?
Christopher Guest
He's more than just Prince Humperdinck's faithful companion, Count Tyrone Rugen (the six-fingered man), he's . . .
Harlan Pepper in Best in Show. More importantly, he wrote Best in Show, and he also wrote and acted in For Your Consideration and A Mighty Wind.
Fred Savage
Listen, we all know that the grandson starred in The Wonder Years just a year after this film, but maybe you forgot how he was . . .
Number Three in Austin Powers in Goldmember. Though, truth be told, it's kind of hard to forget that mole.
