What is it you know him for? (vs IMDb "known for" list)


When I think of Tim Robbins or see his picture, the first thing I think of is Shawshank. The next is Jacob's Ladder. But the IMDb list has things like Howard the Duck? What?

Sure, the man plays the lead in a movie that many include in the conversation when discussing the greatest movies of all time, but nah, let's leave that one out. Howard the freaking Duck. 😂😂

Shawshank Redemption and Zathura.

Neither of which is on the Known For list. I'm wondering what criteria IMDb uses for this list.

Known For: Mystic River (Dave Boyle), The Player (Griffin Mill), Howard the Duck (Phil Blumburtt), Dead Man Walking (Producer)

I'm surprised they'd put the lesser liked movie Howard the Duck over Shawshank Redemption.

The movie that I know him for (The Player) is on the list...

Erik the Viking. That's the movie i watched over and over as a kid and why i followed Tim's whole career after.

Shawshank Redemption, Bull Durham, Antitrust

Oh yeah, Bull Durham for sure...
