Who played Freddie Mercury in the video for "The Miracle"?


Search: the miracle video

Why: Yesterday, I was watching a bunch of goat edition videos to do a yelling goat meme roundup for Ranker / because they are (occasionally) hilarious. I ran across this shitty one,


but even though it's super lazy and only has that one annoying shrieking goat - which I'm pretty sure is a sheep anyway - I was kind of like, "Wow, Freddie Mercury is was a pretty magnetic performer." I realized I had only really ever seen him perform "live" twice, in the video for "Bohemian Rhapsody" and in that one Queen Live Aid performance that is everywhere all the time.

So I clicked around a bit, and then I ended up looking at this video for "The Miracle":


Who is that kid? He's sprightly. I thought it was a girl until she showed his nips.

Answer: Why, it's Scottish actor Ross McCall!



Do you recognize him as Joseph Liebgott from Band of Brothers?


I don't, because I have not (yet) watched that thing. But I hear it's good!

The More You Know: I am a person who likes the character Aldous Snow a lot, both in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek. Here he is performing "The Clap" with Infant Sorrow at my local amphitheatre.
