Having acted since 1983, he was already a Coen Brothers regular (Raising Arizona, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy). He had also already played both Fred Flintstone and Babe Ruth, and was one of the most famous actors on TV for his portrayal of Da...
People often forget that Aimee Mann was in The Big Lebowski. She had a very small role in the film, credited only as “Nihilist Woman.” Mann was primarily a musician before and after Lebowski. In fact, she only has 10 acting credits on her IMDB page-- many of them from very small roles. Originally famous for being in the New Wave band ‘Til Tuesday, ...

By the time of Lebowski, he’d already had several memorable performances from playing Mr. Pink in Reservoir Dogs, Garland Greene in Con Air, and Rex in the heavy metal cult comedy Airheads. He was also no stranger to working with the Coen Brothers, having already perf...

Actress Asia Carrera (born Jessica Steinhauser) had a very, very small, but appropriate role in The Big Lebowski.

The Big Lebowskiis her only real mainstream credit ou...
David Thewlis played a very memorable, if small, role in The Big Lebowski as Knox Harrington. As a friend of Maude Lebowski’s, Harrington is a video artist with a shaved head, a pencil mustache, and an obnoxious, weasley laugh. He does not play a vital role in the movie, but his scenes are among the funniest in the film. Over the years he has won s...

A the least recognizable of the three Nihilists (his character’s name is Franz, although they don’t really say it in the film), Torsten Voges is no less funny than the rest. He lent an air of authenticity to the villainous Kraftwerk-esque band, as he actually is a German actor. He is not exactly a prolific actor, and has just over 40 credits to his...
Although The Big Lebowskicasts that thick accent as being German, actor Peter Stormare is actually from Sweden. As another one of those actors you have undoubtedly seen dozens of times (thanks to his nearly 200 credits), Stormare has played a number of types of roles. He is also a Shakespearean actor, and former Associate Director of the Tokyo Glob...
Rounding out the trio of Nihilists is the rocker, Flea (born Michael Peter Balzary). Best known as the virtuosic bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Flea had a fairly significant acting resume even before The Big Lebowski. His first credited role came as Razzle in the cult classic punk rock drama Suburbia in 1983. He then notably played Needles ...

Aug 9, 2022 · Exploring the Stranger: Sam Elliott’s awesome ‘The Man’ antonym to The Big Lebowski’s ‘The Dude’. “A man is a coin,” the late great Norm Macdonald once wrote, “no obverse without reverse.”. While Macdonald went on to say that this notion means you can remember Jeff Epstein as a monster, or as the man who killed Jeff Epstein ...
Sci-fi. The Stranger is the narrator of the 1998 film The Big Lebowski played by Sam Elliot. The Stranger is a cowboy who narrates the film. He is very wise and doesn't appreciate most people who swear. In interviews the Coen brothers mentioned that Sam Elliot's big mustache helped in the editing.
