I was watching the film version of "The Magus" last week, and was quite enjoying the sumptuous photography and meandering storyline. One of the main characters is an enigmatic Greek man called Conchis. He is played with much gravitas by Antony Quinn, and there is one flashback scene which explains a romantic episode of the young Conchis.
The problem is that the young Conchis is played by Roger Lloyd Pack (Trigger in Only Fools and Horses).
At the point when I should have been digesting the backstory of Conchis, I was marvelling at how young Trigger looked, and recalling my favourite Trigger moments from Only Fools and Horses.
Has anyone ever had a similar experience, when the spell of a a film is broken by the connotation of an actor?
