Evan handler as Edward west


Does anyone know what scene his character was in

reply

He is in several scenes throughout the movie. He is one of Tim Hutton's officers. He has scenes in the altercation with townies and a heart-to-heart with Tim Hutton at about 1 hour 15 minutes into the movie. But he is one of the officers to give up when Tim Hutton asks for volunteers to leave (at about an hour 25 minutes into the movie). Hope this helps.

He is in quite a few scenes.He is actually the fourth or fifth lead in the film; has a real nice part and does and excellent job. I had the pleasure of meeting Evan around this time briefly. As I knew him then, he was great guy. Very down to earth, very serious about the craft of acting and his career. He was really going great at the time starring both on Broadway and in films. I'm real glad to see that over years he overcame all the trials of his health problems and once again has a thriving career as an actor.

I saw most of this early this morning for the first time (tuned in just as General Bache's gun went off and killed that townie).

As for Evan Handler, before I even knew he was in the film I recognized his voice and took a close look and could see it was him.
