Vaguely familiar faces like his are common in the Los Angeles area where he lives, and nobody pays much attention. Many of his roles have been forgotten. 鲍勃?冈顿(Bob Gunton)是一位性格演员，共饰演过125个角色，包括《24小时》(24)和《绝望的主妇》(Desperate Housewives)中的数季剧集，在奥斯卡获奖影片《逃离德黑兰》(Argo)等多部电影中也出演过角色。在他所居住的洛杉矶地区，像他这样有些眼熟的面孔很常见，没有人会怎么注意他。他的很多角色都已经被遗忘。 《肖申克的救赎》：20年的吸金利器.jpg But every day, the 68-year-old actor says, he hears the whispers -- from cabdrivers, waiters, the new bag boy at his neighborhood supermarket: Thats the warden in Shawshank. 但是这位68岁的演员说，每天他都会听到有人窃窃私语──出租车司机、餐厅服务员、附近超市里新来的打包男孩：“那是‘肖申克’里的典狱长。” He also still gets residual payments -- not huge, but steady, close to six figures by the films 10th anniversary in 2004.

Steven Spielberg once told the films writer-director Frank Darabont that he had made a chewing-gum movie -- if you step on it, it sticks to your shoe, says Mr. Darabont, who went on to create The Walking Dead for AMC. 该片对观众拥有近乎神秘的吸引力，并且这种吸引力丝毫没有减弱的迹象。该片编剧及导演弗兰克?达拉邦特(Frank Darabont)说，史蒂芬?斯皮尔伯格(Steven Spielberg)曾对他说过，他拍了 “一部口香糖电影──踩上去会粘在鞋上”。后来达拉邦特为AMC创作了《行尸
