Stanly Tucci convinced Irving Rhameses Rhames to shorten his name to Ving Rhames? Awesome.

Jon Hamm and Paul Rudd is my favorite pairing of the guys who are working today.

The Hackman/Hoffman/Duvall stories are pretty hilarious. Apparently Hoffman liked to paint naked women in the apartment.

While watching Actors Studio, I was shocked to hear that Adam Sandler and Judd Apatow were roommates. Not really shocked, more fascinated.

I don't know about Rami, but McDormand was in that set at one point, too, which is how she and Joel met.

Holly Hunter, yes. Didn't hear a thing about Kathy Bates.

Richard Kind and George Clooney were roommates, and on one talk show or another Kind had some funny as hell stories about Clooney's practical joke habit. Especially involving Kind's cat.

Also roommates before they broke, remembered from an early 90s episode of The Comedy Channel's Short Attention Span Theater: Tom Wilson (Biff Tannen), Andrew (pre-"Dice") Clay, and Yakov Smirnov. Sometimes I wish my brain would lose this trivia.

Clooney talked about that on 'Dennis Miller Live' on HBO. He was there supporting 'From Dusk 'til Dawn', and Tarentino came out for a quick cameo while Clooney was on the air. That was easily one of the funniest episodes of that show.

I know Louis CK and David Cross used to live together. I cannot imagine the foul shit that would happen at a Cross/CK shindig.

Along the same lines, Jim Norton and Jim Florentine were roommates for a long time.

My advice would have been to just call himself RAMESES.

I'll add: Charles Bronson and Jack Klugman. That's right, Paul "Death Wish" Kersey roomed with world famous coroner Quincy M.E. I like to imagine that hilarious hijinks somehow ensued.

As young hungry acting students in Sydney, Geoffrey Rush and Mel Gibson shared an apartment while co-starring in a production of Waiting For Godot back in the seventies.

On the Evil Dead 2 commentary, there's a great anecdote about how Sam complimented Holly by saying "You look nice today", and then (in a perfect Holly Hunter impression) she said to him "I'm playing a prostitute and I don't take that as a compliment so SHUT UP!"

Apparently the character of Bobby Jo was based on her...

How is that not a comic book crossover yet?
And reading about Williams friendship commitment with Reeves before/after his accident makes me like the man a bit more.

I know that they were neighbours, but didn't Marlon Brando actually move into Jack Nicholson's home for a while?

It's a bit obvious but Simon Pegg and Nick Frost were flatmates while they were working as waiters before they got on TV. Apparently, they used to sleep in the same bed to save on heating.

I read that! Frost made fun of Pegg's date or something, and that's how he won him over.
