10 Famous Actors You Didn't Realise Were In Movies You've Seen

4. Michael Shannon Plays The Guy Who Says "What?" In Groundhog Day

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw63_YyNsF4 The scene you're about to watch starts with Bill Murray saying the line, "I'm a God." In the movie, that's not necessarily true - he's just some guy reliving the same day over and over again to hilarious means. In real life, though, it's truer than anything else: Bill Murray is a God. That doesn't have anything to do with this article, really, I just had to get that out there. But this scene does contain a brief glimpse of the actor Michael Shannon, who is about to become more famous than ever this summer when he debuts as Superman's nemesis Zod in Zack Snyder's Man Of Steel. You might know him already from movies like Revolutionary Road, My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done, and Take Shelter, all of which he's awesome in. Here, though, he just says, "What?", and - in a later scene - thanks Bill Murray for helping fix his relationship.
