William Pittenger
Bob Buffam
William Knight
Wilson Brown
Jacob Parrot (the tall, young blonde)

But who were the three guys standing in the back row?

I know that John Wollam is one of them, but I do not know which one he was, or who the other two are, becasue the only lines those guys had in the film were small and in the background compared to the primary dialogue with Andrews.

And also, does anyone know where I can find a copy of the original script to help me out with this? I'm thinking about writing a re-make when I'm a little older, so I can play Pittenger or Ross or something.

The other two whose names you asked for are probably William Besinger and John Alf Wilson, as their names are listed in the IMDB Credits.

Okay, it's about 9 1/2 years later, so I don't know if the OP will ever see this, but...

If you're still interested in writing a retelling of the story, I strongly suggest just forgetting about trying to revise the Disney screenplay in any way, shape, or form. Just go with the actual history as your primary source material.
