brian cox in it?

is that him as an interviewee, about 6 mins 50 secs in?

the interviewee (see screengrab below) sounds very much like him, even if he may not be a dead ringer visually, he doesn't look like it's definitely not cox, iyswim. cox would have been 18-19 when 'the war game' was made; the youth pictured certainly seems like he could be around that age.

also, whilst imdb doesn't list a full cast for 'the war game', and it's not on cox's filmography, cox is credited with tv work from 1965.

anyone know any more?

Yes that is definitely Brian Cox, even down to the characteristic movement of his tongue. He is also the billeting officer, filmed from behind at 4'34'': listen to the way he says "It's up to you, love"!

Well spotted bris krs!

All were actors. It was a docu drama. Amateur and Professional actors made up the cast.

If Brian Cox is in it then he dies - he always dies. I never saw him in a film where he didn't die.

Stop dying already Cox!
