Martin Short?

So, I'm watching the movie 'Strange Brew' with my dad, and there's a scene right after the bad dude (I don't know his name) sends Bob and Doug off with the kegs for the chick's party.
After they leave the "lunatics"/hockey dudes all swarm around him, and I swear to Bob that the one in the bright orange robe is Martin Short. He has the same profile and same height.
But I can't be sure, because he's not credited or anything. I'm not sure if this has been posted about before, on this board or the 'Martin Short' board, but GEE!
I wish I could find a picture. ARGH!
Any thoughts?

I doubt it was Martin, only because Dave and Rick left SCTV to work on the film and SCTV needed their cast members. That's why Martin Short did so much on the show. Moranis had contributed a great deal and his leaving the show left a big hole to fill.

I watched tonight, and saw the same. Guy in the orange robe. I also noticed none of the patients/hockey players were named in the credits.It would not surprise me at all to find out he was one of the mental patients. It was an extra part with no real blocking and no lines. They filmed in Canada. And the shot probably took fifteen minutes.
