William Atherton has appeared in over 60 movies and TV shows throughout his career, but for those who grew up in the 1980's, Atherton is likely best know for his "Asshole Trilogy". His incredible performances as an asshole bureaucrat in Ghostbusters (1984), an asshole academic in Real Genius (1985) and an asshole reporter in Die Hard (1988) made a huge impression on that generation's movie goers. Atherton has certainly played other asshole characters since (see Bio-Dome (1996)), but those three from the 1980's perfectly represented a certain sleazy ethos of the time.

For more on Atherton, be sure to check out The A.V. Club's great interview with him from 2010 in which they discuss his career and the reputation he created from those three infamous roles: http://www.avclub.com/article/william-atherton-40332

"Hey, everybody, it's your boy Jerry Bruckheimer. The guys at Timecode asked me to say a few things about Independence Day. First of all, it's a tremendous movie, I saw it in the theater. It made a big impression on me, if fact, my next few movies including Armageddon and Con Air I tried to pack in as many explosions as I could because I thought the explosions in Independence Day were just incredible. I love watching stuff blow up and, yeah, I felt like Roland Emmerich did a spectacular job, in fact, that's why I picked him to direct Armageddon. A lot of people don't know that.

Jeff Goldblum is a real interesting guy. He's got that real interesting look and he's very tall, he's very sexual and I've always kind of had a thing for him. Jeff, if you're listening to this, I'd love to get you in the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, I think you'd be tremendous. You could be like a half-skeleton-half-cyclops-pirate thing, I don't know. We'll have you come and popping up out of the sea and sinking a bunch of boats. I'm picturing you like, enormous. A thousand feet tall! Causing a bunch of waves. Fighting with Zeus, something like that, you know? Johnny Depp's like yelling at you like, '[incoherent]', and then you guys have a big fight at the end.

I think the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie is probably going to be like five hours long but anyway, I'm rambling, Independence Day was great and I really appreciate having the chance to talk about it. So yeah, thanks, you guys, this was fun."

"This is master thespian of stage and screen, Frank Langella. When the gentlemen at Timecode approached me to comment on the phenomenon of being mistaken for Robert Loggia, I was happy to oblige. I do this because I'd like to set the record straight.

I'm often approached on the street, in restaurants and in elevators by average citizens who say, 'Hey, aren't you Robert Loggia?'. To be perfectly honest with you, this hurts my feelings every time. I've never been in a movie with Robert Loggia. To my knowledge I've never met Robert Loggia. I don't feel like I look particularly like Robert Loggia. He and I are of different ages. We're of a different caliber of acting. I'm not sure I like Robert Loggia, to be perfectly honest. So what I'd like to say is, 'Please stop referring to me as Robert Loggia.'

When you see me on the street I'd much rather you say, 'Hey, aren't you the guy from Dave? Aren't you the guy who got an Academy Award nomination for Frost/Nixon?'. That would make me feel better. That would make me feel more appreciated. At any rate, this is Frank Langella, not Robert Loggia, signing off."
