Did you know? Before knowing a nice career in Hollywood, the American actor Michael Shannon had made his cinema debut in the famous film by Harold Ramis.
Many actors now famous worldwide have started their careers by playing in modest productions that have rarely passed to posterity. But it sometimes happens that an actor has the chance to take his first steps in the cinema by appearing in a classic future.
Superman's future villain in an endless day
As we recently mentioned, for example, this is the case of Billy Zane, who interpreted one of the subfifres of Biff Tannen in Back to the future well before becoming the ignoble fiancé of Rose in Titanic. But he is not the only one to have started in a mythical film.
Indeed, this also happened for Michael Shannon, especially famous for having embodied General Zod against Superman in Man of Steel, but also for his roles in the shape of the water, a knife drawn or the Boardwalk Empire series.
We can thus see him appear in several endless day sequences, and even give the reply to Bill Murray in the restaurant, then during the ball scene. Then aged around 18, he interpreted the so -called Fred, a groom that Phil Connors had finally helped to meet his future wife.
