Office Space Redux

The guy who plays Milton in "Office Space" is named Stephen Root (no relation). He also plays a blind DJ in "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" a movie I recently saw for the first time with my folks. My mom was delighted that there was an actor whose last name was "Root" and asked me to point him out to her. When he came on screen and I said "That's Stephen Root," she pulled a face and said "That fat ugly guy? Geez, I got all worked up for nothing!"

My mom's a character.
