name of actor who plays hitman / bogus truck driver?


This is in regards to the guy who Al Lettieri kills during the big mid-movie shootout. He did a great job flying back from getting shot with a shotgun and even better once he's fatally shot in the chest by Al Lettieri. One of the best most believable stunt-falls I've seen in a movie, especially considering he doesn't even stick his hand out to cushion the fall or anything! He really eats pavement.

I'm guessing the guy was primarily a stuntman and looked about 35-45 at the time. Wonder if he's still working or ever got his due credit?

Sounds like Sammy Lucasse.

Nothing is more beautiful than Oscar Homolka.
