I've seen Love Actually millions of times and never once recognized Caroline John. But then again, the role was so small I never paid any attention to her part, even if I did squee loudly at her husband being played by Edward Hardwicke (besides, like all Portuguese people, the Colin Firth storyline tends to become The Big Thing in the story in my mind because of Lucia Moniz playing Aurelia, even if the ohter storylines are equally amazing).

I didn't know Edward Hardwicke was in it! I'll have to keep an eye on him when I do my search for Caroline. :D And I know her role was tiny, but at least she's in something that I might be able to see.

I'm coming at the movie completely blank, really - I know the cast, but I don't know who's in which story or how they all relate to each other or anything. So this should be interesting.

You'll be able to see more of Edward in a really hilarious deleted scene in the extras.

The cast is wonderful all-round, but it's all the different stories and how they are linked and merged to each other than eventually makes it all happening.
There are some cast choices that are only relevant to people from a specific country, and are usually more noticeable in the eight slot of the poster/DVD cover, which changes depending on the country you see it. Over here, the slot is filled by Lucia Moniz; in the States, it's Billy Bob Thornton; in the UK, it's Martine McCutcheon; in Germany, from what I was told, it's Heike Makatsch, and so on.

...I didn't know Billy Bob Thornton was in it, either. Why haven't I seen this movie again?

That's a nifty thing to do with the poster/DVD cover, though. And good for the producers for hiring some actors who were neither American nor British. :D

Indeed. It would have been so easy to get British actors to play a Portuguese maid (the accent would probably be laughable, though) or the American characters, so it's good to see they didn't follow that route. And then there's Heike Makatsch and Rodrigo Santoro, who played characters that don't have a specific nationality.
