Is that Johnny the boy

Post by medievil One »

I watched Lethal Weapon last night, the first time in six or seven years. And the scene with the jumper got me wondering,

Thanks for clearing that up. Had I done the research I would have figured it out, but I didn't know either of the actors names.
You got to admit, they do look alike.

i once thought the same many years ago.

i just looked at the credits back then to confirm that they are not the same actor.

pretty easy..........

...sorta slow motion. he leaves the seat, goes through the windscreen, headfirst straight into the tree...right. and then, bounces back through the windscreen. by the time we got to him.. he was just sittin there trying to scream with his face ripped off......whats the matter?
