What Happened to Paul Picerni?

I bought this DVD because Paul Picerni (the director's father) had shot a scene for it. He is credited as "Jim" but does not appear in the picture. Was he perhaps in the footage with Ossie Davis?

I was totally surprised to see Nicholas Georgiade from THE UNTOUCHABLES as the Casino boss!

Also - those of you who have this on DVD - take a close look at the Minister in the Vegas chapel. I'm pretty sure it's Shecky Greene in disguise!

The minister was actually John Neeland the former head of public relations for the Riviera Hotel. Most of the cast were housed there during the Vegas filming. Notice how his name is misspelled "Needland" in the Special Thanks portion of the end credits.

Actually, Paul Picerni is the director's older brother.
