This is just a random thought that periodically pops into my mind and bugs me. In the movie "Harold and Maude", Cyril Cusack, a fine actor, is given co-starring billing, and yet he has what must be a total of 4 seconds of screen time and (if I remember correctly) one short sentence of dialog. Every time I have re-watched that movie, I keep thinking he must have had most of his performance left on the cutting room floor.

just a thought....
