Actor Jason Cottle enjoyed a brief run in film as a bit player during the late '90s in A-list features including Mad City, Wag the Dog, The Wedding Singer, and The Other Sister, then took a break for around a decade or so before reemerging as the lead in director Dan Gildark's H.P. Lovecraft adaptation Cthulhu (2008). In that film, Cottle plays a Seattle history professor whose life irrevocably changes when he's drawn back to his long-estranged family on the Oregon coast and into the arms of a sinister, apocalyptic cult populated by his dad and others. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
