Like
a lot of directors, the Coen brothers have a selection of actors
that they use time and time again. A repertory company if you
like. Or a family. Whatever you call them they can't seem to get
enough of working with the Coens. Below you will find all of the
Coen brother's movies and all the actors, from this most select
group, who have appeared in them. You can also sort the list by
movie by clicking on the button below. Have a nice time researching
the Coen genealogy. |

"I found myself more and more going over to the Abundas's. It was a routine we fell into, most every evening. I even went when Walter was away on his research trips. He was a genealogist, had traced back his side of the family seven generations, his late wife's, eight. It seemed like a screwy hobby. But then maybe all hobbies are. Maybe Walter found something there, in the old county courthouses, hospital file rooms, city archives, property rolls, registries, something maybe like what I found listening to Birdy play. Some kind of escape. Some kind of peace..."- Ed Crane, The Man Who Wasn't There
