Gary Busey in WITS?

I was just watching this film again, and I am pretty sure a young and unknown Gary Busey is at the concert seated between Shelley Winters and Bert Freed. Can anybody confirm this?

I can't "confirm" it, but I watched the movie last night and rewound several times to get a good look. I'd be willing to bet on that being Gary Busey. For one thing, it's a great 5 seconds or so of acting. I suspect that the director told him to appear bummed to have a seat between a couple of old squares. His facial expressions during that brief glimpse are quite comical and much more than you'd expect of some extra who just wound up in the shot.

I know it's eleven years later, but
Gary Busey is now in the credits, here on IMDB, as a concert attendee, 'uncredited' in the film. Hope posting now does some good...well, as long as this thread stays up, I guess it's OK to assume it.

Best to you all, LegendaryRambler
