In didn't know that. Makes it kind of satisfying to see him killed in Die Hard and Ghostbusters 2.
shareWho was he in Die Hard?
shareHe's the ugly looking thug with the long blond hair who helps load the Rocket Launcher that they use on the police.
shareI love that guy!
I think it’s because his hair is brown and tied into a bun that made me miss him.
No, that was Godunov, the Rusaian dancer turned actor. He was also the Amish guy who was courting McGillis in Whitness.
shareI am not talking about Godunov. I am talking about the terrorist who helps use the Rocket launcher on the police. Karl isn't present in that scene.
shareSo you're saying both Godunov and Vigo were in Die Hard? That's awesome dude!
shareYeah. He's only in it in 2 short scenes. He does appear in the end credits too. Here. This is the only scene with him I could find on google. He appears behind Hans to the right.

Implicated by his father for raping his wife, in which he was never apparently investigated for by the police.
On the flip side...his father was a nazi war criminal working at a death camp.

Wow, this story is fantastic and very well written! This just goes to show how important both genetics and a stable family life is to produce healthy, successful, well rounded adults. I highly recommend this to everyone, even non GBII fans.
shareHe scared the wits out of me when I was young.
