Who the hell is John Ratzenberger?

I think he's the pope. He had to change his name for some reason.

For a moment I thought: “The Pope?” Forgive me, but the names have a little similarity.;)

John used to live in the liberal hell hole of Bainbridge Island, WA. If he is for McCain, he is one of the few.

I’ve wondered about that as that was about the only show my wife and I watched on T.V.
Can I please ask what you know about how your company got on? I go by a place in Ocala Florida often that makes emergency. equipment like e.m.t. vehicles and fire trucks that was on.
How big was the production and how did they treat everyone.
He seems so very personable on the show and seems to genuinely have fun doing it?
Way cool, thanks

If you had had the privilege to travel all over America making film of people making things. Asking them about them, their communities and their beliefs then yes, I do believe he is an expert.
Please sir, check out Made in America

He was here in Reno with Romney last week. Good guy. Putting his career on the line for this (no jokes about what career.).

He also has a brief speaking role in Empire Strikes Back on Hoth (the ice planet.) He says something to Solo, I think and if I’m not mistaken, Solo tells him “then I’ll see you in Hell!” BUt I KNOW he’s in that movie. He plays a rebel captain or something.

Major Derlin. I think he's the one who Solo's talking to about the speeders, and he said, "not yet, we're having trouble adapting them to the cold"...and then later, after the original scene with Darth Vader, he talks about the evacuation strategy.

My 11 yr. old son said to me the other day,”Mom, how can Obama get to be the President when he won’t even put his hand on his chest during the Pledge?” Even an 11 yr. old picked up on that.

My brother is a contractor in Iraq, he called me today, he said the folks there are freaking out over this election. They cannot believe that the people state side believe this guy.

Wish I could help, but I have no idea. The film crew stayed for a whole day, and were very nice folks. They had four members in the crew. The company I work for (Freightliner) has has several film crews to make videos of our plant. I believe it was the National Geographic did a episode called “Megafactories” a few months ago. It can be seen repeated once in awhile. Wish I could help you more. I'll see what I can find out, and let you know.

He’s also an 82nd Airborne Lieutenant in “A Bridge Too Far.”

Every male actor over 55 was in that movie.

LOL....close to true....but Anthony Hopkins was the best.

As an interesting aside, I bought the DVD and actually watched the "making of" extra feature.

In an interview with Hopkins, he was discussing MG John Frost (who was a Lieutenant Colonel at Arnhem) who Hopkins played, and who also served as a technical adviser to the film. Hopkins recounted that in filming one scene, Hopkins dashed across the open road between his battalion's defensive position and his casualty collection point, to see his wounded soldiers.

Frost stated that Hopkins should not dash and dart through the enemy fire because he (Frost) never did. He said you couldn't let the enemy or your own soldiers see you dashing like that as it would show your fear, and that Hopkins should do as he did under the actual battlefield conditions and walk smartly upright through the fire.

The director left Hopkins dash for cover through the fire because portraying the event as it really happened would not have been realistic!

I watched that movie just two weeks ago on cable in High Def and was stunned by how good it was considering it was made in the late 70’s, before CGI. The battle scenes were incredibly realistic, particularly the artillery battles. The scene of the parachute drop was amazing. Anthony Hopkins was also my favorite actor in the movie.

If you want to see a great movie with him, see “The Worlds Fastest Indian.”
