Larry King, film star
When I saw Larry King playing himself in National Treasure, which we saw Saturday night, I leaned over and asked Kristen in how many movies has Larry King played himself? (Actually, I didn't ask it in such a
gramatically pure way and most likely ended my question in a preposition, which doesn't really bother me until I typed it up here...) Not counting made for TV movies, it looks like National Treasure is his fourth film of this year (tying his personal record for movie appearances in a year), and his 25th overall playing himself.
The complete list: National Treasure (2004); Catching Kringle (2004); Mr 3000 (2004); The Stepford Wives (2004); John Q (2002); Last Party 2000 (2001); America's Sweethearts (2001); The Contender (2000); Disney's The Kid (2000); Enemy of the State (1998); Bulworth (1998); Primary Colors (1998); The Jackal (1997); Mad City (1997); An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn (1997); Contact (1997); The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996); Open Season (1996); Spin (1995); We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story (1993) (voice); Dave (1993); The Exorcist III (1990); Crazy People (1990); Lost in America (1985); Ghost Busters (1984). (Leave it to Ivan Reitman to see a good idea first).
He also voiced an Ugly Stepsister in Shrek 2 and played (shock!) a talk show host in Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives (1989). See, this is exactly the kind of important information you'll only find on the edge
of nowhere.
