Actors I Bet You Didn't Know Were in "Coming to America"

Kathypath and I just watched "Coming to America" this evening, which in French is called the equivalent of "A Prince in New York." Just doesn't have the same ring. Anyway, it's a very good film in that funny 80's kinda way. Still, we were amazed at how many people - now famous - had small roles in the film. The most excited of which include:

Eriq La Salle (Daryl, the Soul Glo guy)
Cuba Gooding Jr (he's getting his haircut in the barbershop)
Samuel L Jackson (the guy who tries to rob McDowell's)

It's trippy to see Eriq La Salle at that age, and Cuba is what, like 14? What a cutie!

One more thing: I think I watched that entire movie with a smile on my face. Haven't seen it for at least ten years, but damn, it's funny. I also realized that a lot of random quotes I say, without necessarily remembering where they're from, are in fact from that movie. It was like coming back to the homeland. Or something.

so what quotes do you say?

I just had a "boomerang" discussion with someone here at work, realizing I quote it all the frigging time and NO ONE ever gets my quotes. "You got to *coordinate*!"
