I didn't know that he was in 1408 but I did know that he wasn't in Titanic, Harry Potter or The Green Mile; process of elimination.

"Say WHAT one more time! I dare you. I double dare you!"

Instead of just stating "a Swedish director" why not give his name, Mikael Håfström? A brief plot summary would also have been helpful for those who are unfamiliar with the movie. If I get a question wrong I prefer a detailed answer so that I actually learn something, this synopsis was just plain lazy.

He was the manager of the Dolphin Hotel in "1408". He tried to convince John Cusack's character not to spend the night in the haunted room 1408.

He is good in the parts he play. Especially the Hateful Eight.

And the events that happened in the room were based on your innermost fears, quite psychological dsneed,

Never heard of it, but knew he wasn't in any of the others.

Not being a fan of horror films, I never saw 1408. "Double chance" came through.

I seen him in Cambridge railway station about 20 years ago...

For anyone coming in late on this one. 1408 is a haunted room in a hotel that is unrentable. Until a psychic investigator comes to rent it and will not take no for an answer. The rest of the movie deals with events that occur in the room during his stay.

Samuel L. Jackson was in the movie "1408" but was not the star. John Cusack was the star of the movie, and if you you like scary horror movies, you will like this one. John Cusack really sells it. Yay me.
