What, exactly, was the point of putting him in this movie? He had a ten minute part in the beginning (hardly notable) and that was it.
I'm not saying they shouldn't have put him in, but why did they?

Me too. He's like the best creepy-old-man actor in the world.
*Geoffrey Rush-five!*
Donovan Donaly (Geoffrey Rush) appears in two later scenes. He is the 'down and out' that Marylin Rexroth (Catherine Zeta-Jones) finds in the alley-way (a very brief scene). It is he that suggested that the actor that Billy Bob Thornton plays should be used to dupe Miles Massey (George Clooney). At the end he appears as the producer in the show that Gus Petch (Cedric the Entertainer) is hosting (again, another slightly longer but still brief scene).
Although it is a bit part actors will accept smaller cameo roles to appear in movies by certain directors.
I still think Sir Geroffrey's best role was as Sir Francis Walsingham in Elizabeth.
