John Casavettes cameo?


When Jack (Henry Winkler) was escaping from the hospital there were two docs conversing and one of them looked just like John Casavettes. Does anyone know if that was him?

reply

Yes, it's him.

that's a trip. Al Ruban, who produced and acted in John's movie KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE, and Val Avery, who plays the bus driver, were both in it too.

reply

Not only that, but his son, Nick Casavettes starred with Charlie Sheen in The Wraith. Dennis Burkley, who plays Gus (the fat guy in the bar when Jack and Carol get the motel room) also starred with Charlie Sheen in Beyond The Law. Both movies were filmed in Arizona.

Not only that, but Dennis Burkley was in Tin Cup with Kevin Costner who was in JFK with Kevin Bacon, and Tin Cup filmed some scenes in Arizona.

I'm just watching it for the first time since it came out, and absolutely, that is John Cassavetes.
