According to imdb, there is apparently some guy named Tom Stratford who plays a so-called "gangster" in Julie & Julia.
Now it's safe to say that I have seen the film Julie & Julia a considerable amount of times. And I can also say with some confidence that I have never seen a fucking gangster in this movie. Like, what scene could possibly feature a gangster without me noticing? Surely not during Julia's stint at the Cordon Bleu. And at Dorothy's wedding? Forget about it. There are definitely no gangsters in this movie. It's fucking Julie and fucking Julia for christssakes!

Time for some hardcore sleuthing. With a quick google search, I immediately located Mr. Stratford's actor homepage and discovered this little gem of a pic.
So not only does this guy exist, he actually did play the purported role of "gangster" in Julie & Julia. And he was proud enough of his role to put it on his personal website too! Along with those other awkward, obviously self-shot portraits... But wait, I don't think I've ever seen this fucking guy ever.
I mean, I don't exactly question the fact that he's in the movie--I just don't think I've ever noticed him before... and I notice pretty much everything...
Oh wait, that background in the photo looks somewhat familiar... Could it be?

THERE HE IS! Right above Dorothy's left shoulder! |
Don't see him? Lemme zoom in on that.

GANGSTA |
Boom! Mystery solved! There is our gangster! Tom Stratford! Actor at large! The best movie gangster portrayal since Marlon Brando in The Godfather!
Seriously though, what about this dude makes him a gangster? The fact that he smokes and wears an old-timey hat? Does that make Sherlock Holmes a gangster then?

Maybe I'm being a little mean, but dammed if it's not hilarious that this guy put his Julie & Julia "role" on his own website, as if he were more than an inconsequential extra. I like to think that he fabricated this entire "gangster" character/persona and added it to imdb himself in order to feed his delusions of being a legitimate actor. Like, he probably stayed up all night crafting a detailed character history and origin story in order to help inform his totally unremarkable performance as "some guy with a cigarette walking in the train station."
But then again, if any of us were presented with the same role, who's to say we wouldn't rather choose to live the lie? To tell the other extras to go fuck themselves, because we are better than that. To don a hat and cigarette and play pretend just one more time. To act as though we were the stars of our own movies. To fully embody the "gangster" in all of us.
Kind of sad, really.

Julie & Julia Quote of the Day: "I paid him. $3,000."
That has made me laugh a LOT!
ReplyDeleteAlthough his website says he was a gangster in Julia & Julia, not Julie & Julia. A cunning legal sidestep or just poor subbing?
ReplyDeleteYeah, let's all pity the guy who was an extra in the movie, while completely ignoring the weirdo watching that movie 365 times.
ReplyDeleteIs his name in the credits of the actual film?
ReplyDeletedrellabella: I doubt you could make as many people laugh as this "weirdo" does.
ReplyDeletehahahahahahahaha "I'm gonna make him a Bavarian creme he can't refuse." i laughed so hard at that caption...
ReplyDeleteAt least this guy is a working actor, with more to do then sitting around watching some movie over & over & over & over & over & over..... Get a life.
ReplyDeletehey ! dont mock the guy . envy him he works every day doing what he loves to do and that is act . he makes great money ,lives on the water in ny , drives a new car and is always around for his family and friends . we should all be that lucky. he should be praised not mocked.how dare you get a life your a looser
ReplyDeleteHey, did you really look at this guys credits! He has some good work listed. So whats the big deal if it's a quick shot he's seen in, at least he's in it! I'm sure he would thank you for the shout out.
ReplyDeleteJust so you should know- I was a GANGSTER type traveling with his girl in this film. In this business, casting decides who to cast as what & wardrobe fits the actor. There were many diffrent types on that set such as GI's- Tycoons - Nurses & etc. Just because you don't see them, doesn't mean they don't exist. I hope this sheds some light for you to understand why I list myself as a gangster. Thanks for taking notice.
ReplyDeleteYou Sir are the one who is Kind of sad, really!
ReplyDeleteWhat were you obsessing on while Tom was on set filming. You are not well and sbould seek help. He probably made more money that one day then you would flipping burgers two weeks for. I do have a hunch you are unemployed and like it that way living in your mothers home. Wow what a hater. Find a therapist please.
ReplyDeleteI was a WEDDING GUEST in the movie, does that make me a Inconsequential extra? I'M SURE NOT! Out of all the credited & uncredited actors you chose to chose this guy to spotlight. Sounds like a crush to me.
ReplyDeleteAny Bundesliga promises numerous action this current year, with five teams able of competing to your prize. Germany's good showing within the 2006 Society Cup helped reduce the league during the eyes of a lot spectators, and it seems to have become even more competitive for that reason. www.scorespro.com
