Was it just me, or did he sound Scottish?
Brains are good, especially when sauteed with carmelized onions.

Yes, he was supposed to be Scottish; the other clue being when early in the film the other steward said to him, "You even fancy bagpipes".

I rather fancy it. I always liked the soft mellifluous quality of Roddy McDowall's voice. Pity that Acres got bumped off first.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

I always liked McDowall a lot. I had hoped he would have been one of the survivors, or at least made it halfway through the film.

I kind of figured that since Acres had a bum knee that he wasn't going to last too long.

if you took a shot every time Hackman says ACRES! you'd end up in Jim Morrison's grave
