Extra in Funeral Scene


There is an extra in the Funeral Scene at the beginning that looked very familiar. He is standing behind Jerry Stiller and is presumably playing his son. Does anyone know who he is, or am I just imagining that I recognize him.

reply

who do you think it is???

I have no idea.

I agree he does look familiar, but I can't quite place where I have seen him. It almost looks like a young Liev Schrieber, but Liev isn't old enough. It isn't Ben Stiller is it? lol

reply

It's Sean Chapman. He played Frank in Hellraiser and a number of other movies. He's all over British comedy shows as well these days.

reply

I thought it was Ben Stiller since his Dad was in the film, too..
But I keep forgetting that this was filmed in the UK and not in Hollywood or New York.

reply

magicpink is correct — it's Sean Chapman

Ben Stiller was 10 years old when THE RITZ was filmed.

OMG, really? I need to go check it out! ;-)
