[net.movies] James Tolman

James Tolman, for those of you who've seen Back To The Future, is the actor
who played the principal.  I know I've seen him in something else recently,
but I'm going nuts trying to figure out what.  Can any of you who've seen
the movie and know who I'm talking about help out?

I'm pretty sure his name is James Tolkan. He plays a very nasty
Federal Prosecutor in Sidney Lumet's "Prince of the City". I
think I remember him playing a Federal Agent in "Perfect", but
I'm not sure on that.

YOU WIN!!!  THAT'S where I remember him from.  

Thanks to all of you who responded - knew I could count on the net for
retainment of this sort of trivia :-).  Boy I got some responses I wouldn't
have dreamed of...

work on ze Napoleon before our enemies in England complete their dish
which I understand is to be called Beef Wellington!"
