Russell Brand?

Who played “Egg” in the Hotel New Hampshire.

What was Steven Spielberg’s first big screen movie and who played the lead role?

I think it was Duel, and the lead actor was Dennis Weaver.

Wait…that was is a trap…Duel was released for TV in the US but was on the big screen in Europe…So that would be sugarland express with crazy goldie hawn. Think it was just before jaws, and close encounter.

What was Steven Spielberg’s first big screen movie and who played the lead role?
no sure if you are asking about him as an actor or director but he was the Cook County Clerk at the end of Blues Brothers that accepts the check from Jake and Elwood right before they are arrested.

Russell Brand?

No.

I’m pretty sure it is either Duel or Sugarland Express. The first one if it’s any movie (without short movies), including TV release, the second if it’s big screen only.
