Shyamalan's character (Hooters guy)

It's well know that Shyamalan himself pops up in small roles in all of his movies. Everyone who has seen the movie knows the connection to the movie Unbreakable, and since we now know that "Split" and "Unbreakable" are both in the same universe, do we know that Shyamalan's character is the same in both movies? In "Unbreakable" he played the drug dealer Dunn bumped into at the football game. In "Split" he was the Hooters loving maintenance guy pulling up the security footage. The roles seem pretty different, but maybe we'll find out a connection in the sequel. Or maybe it's just a random cameo kind of like what you see in the Marvel movies with Stan Lee. What do you think? Do you think it's the same character?

Nah, he's just full of himself.

Both just do with Hitchcock used to do. Good EV-e-ning.

Maybe the Stadium drug dealer got his act together and moved onto a legitimate career that allows him to patronize Hooters. Maybe Bruce Willis will chokeslam him onto a pile of cinder blocks in the next movie. Maybe the drug dealer and Hooters guy are twin brothers.

Maybe Bruce Willis does a double chokeslam to both of them onto a pile of drugs and hot wings with cinder blocks underneath. We'll see what Mr. Glass orchestrates.

It could really go either way. He could very well be the same person, or two different people. The interesting thing will be where/if he pops up in GLASS, will he be the same security guy, or a potential 3rd guy? Kind of unimportant, but it looks like we'll all definitely be keeping an eye out to see.
