(This may be old news...but I certainly don't remember seeing it anywhere...so forgive me if it is.) So I'm watching "Babe" this afternoon with my kiddos (specifically for the few minutes of our beloved Paul...) and hubby comes in to sit down. Then he gets a confused look on his face and says "That actress is familiar." (The farmer's wife...)
So we sit for a few minutes listening to her talk and then he stands up and screams "THAT'S FURLOW!!"
"No!" I say. "Furlow? In a DRESS? It IS NOT!"
So we listen to her for a few more minutes and there's a line she says that's AWFULLY close to Johnny...and I'll be danged if the farmer's wife isn't Furlow. I even looked it up on imdb...and yupper.
TWO Scapey-folks in Babe. :D :D :D Never woulda thunk it. ;)
Paul Goddard is in Babe??
I haven't seen that movie in ages, so I can't remember exactly what the farmers wife looks/sounds like, but all I can say is people involved in Farscape have a strange way of reconvening!
Check it out... (http://www.starburstcards.com/KarlswebNewscape/Where%20Are%20They%20Now.htm)
EDIT: Well wouldn't ya know, you're right! I just looked it up. Her name is Magda Szubanski, and she was indeed Furlow, and she was indeed in Babe.

Yep, Paul Goddard was in Babe.
I couldn't believe it when i first found out that it was him, because he played a really stuck up/posh kind of guy from what I remember.
And when I saw him, I was like "NOOOO!!! Stark is cool! He cant be the nerdy guy from Babe who I hated when I first watched the movie! NOOO!!!"

*laugh* The Farmer's Wife is Furlow!
Well spotted, guys! I didn't get that one!*laughing*
Shows you what a good actor can do, eay?*grin* (Though I do not remember Paul Goddard being in Babe. However, I will take your word for it.*grin*)

Huh. I knew the actress who played Furlow was in Babe, but I had no idea Paul Goddard was. I'll have to watch for him next time.

I would have never made the connection. Thanks for the info. Now I'm going to have to watch it again!

Which part of Babe it was? First or second? I've seen first and can't remember Paul Goddard in it...

He Plays the farmers Son-In-Law and Magda plays the farmers wife, in Both. Pig in the city was mostly crap, but there was a great dream sequence that a parapalegic dog had that had me rolling. Ive watched the firts movies dozens of times with and without my children. Some very subtle humor there.
