Does Actor Arliss Howard Resemble Val Kilmer & David Duchovny? Batman & Robin (1997)
0Director / actor Arliss Howard may resemble Val Kilmer & David Duchovny. One connection is through Joel Schumacher's Batman & Robin (1997). After Kilmer declined an offer to reprise his role as Bruce Wayne / Batman, X-Files (1993) star Duchovny was approached. The part eventually went to George Clooney, who had left another popular TV series (NBC's ER) to develop a movie career. Duchovny may have also been considered for the Batman reboot movie Batman Begins in 2005. Kilmer & Duchovny were also considered for the Wachowski's Matrix in 1999.
Connections: Ruby (1993) saw Howard and Duchovny appear together in this cast.
Movie Director David Lynch (Dune, Twin Peaks (which has often been compared to FOX TV's X-Files)) may resemble Val Kilmer and Howard's Full Metal Jacket co-star Matthew Modine. There is a story that has been written about involving how Modine got the part of Private Joker in Stanley Kubrick's Gustav Hasford's Vietnam war novel. The 2 ran into each other in a diner and Kilmer, who had tried out for the part of Joker, remarked how he thought Modine had already gotten the role. Modine reportedly did not know anything about the production but after this, he sent samples of his work to Stanley Kubrick and was called into audition.
