was that Jan Michael Vincent?


When Burt goes to meet the Colonel at the military base, the two of them exit his office to look at the hardware in the compound and there's a guy on the phone at a desk saying something like "I will check that for you now" and he gets up and walks off. Is this Jan Michael-Vincent? Its not listed on imdb as him but I'm pretty convinced it is.

Good eye! I looked for him because I read your post before I watched the movie. I noticed that guy when he takes Burt to the colonel, and was convinced it was Jan-Michael Vincent. But when they leave the office, I wasn't so sure.

I wish I had the capacity to do a frame grab and capture the image. It may well be him, or it could just be an incredible likeness. And what he says is: "Yes, sir. I'll check the files immediately."

Does anyone else know? And is this board part of some kind of Internet game or something, maybe related to "The Big Lebowski"? There are so many meaningless posts here (not yours, of course).

I would say no, JMV was already known at this time (he was in the Mechanic with Bronson) so I doubt he would be in a bit part like that, esp as it's not an "obvious" cameo.
