10 Famous Actors Who Inexplicably Popped Up In Found Footage Movies
9. Ben Feldman (As Above, So Below)
To his credit, Ben Feldmans performance is one of the very few things in Drew and John Erick Dowdles As Above, So Below that even comes close to making anything even resembling a lasting impression. Thats a shame, since the films premise - a crew of scholars, history nerds, and all-around adventurers descend into the catacombs under Paris in search of the mythic Philosophers Stone, only to encounter all matter of supernatural nastiness - is rife with horror-movie-potential. Feldman plays George, a historical-artist-hipster-dude who spends most of his free time Bansky-ing about Paris, looking for historical artifacts stored in museums or in old churches and then breaking in and fixing them, as one of the other characters eloquently puts it. Oh, and he also has a convenient fear of caves. Because in a movie where the main characters spend extensive amounts of time underground in cramped confines, it's a rule that that there has to be at least one character who's afraid of caves. Yet Feldman, through a combination of wry self-awareness, speaking ultra quickly in Aramaic, and being just enough of a contrarian that he still manages to remain likable, somehow manages to make George into a character thats way more interesting than he has any right to be.
