Was that really Dennis Weaver?

I rented this movie over the weekend, just to see the Duel refernces. I notice in the cast list, they credit Dennis Weaver for his role of the driver of the red car in the beginning. I can't see where it could be him, I'll have re-watch it tonight. The guy looks like him (Dennis) but I don't think it is. Anyone know for sure???????????

I worked on the movie. No it wasn't Dennis Weaver, just a look alike

Oh yeah? Then why is Dennis Weaver credited as "Man in Red Dodge"?

I'm happiest...in the saddle.

The DVD closing titles list "Tom Gillen - Man in Valiant". I already submitted this to IMDB, hope it gets corrected.
Look at this picture of Dennis: http://xrl.us/bduph
According to the copyright notice, this was taken in 2002, he couldn't possibly look that much younger in a 2005 film.
