Is it my imagination, or did the same actor who played John Glenn in Right Stuff also play the scumbag mercenary in Under Fire? It was kind of a shocker to see the same guy play such different roles. Also, did anyone besides me notice the similarity between the names of the actors and the people they portrayed in Right Stuff? There were actors named Shepard and Glenn in the movie, although they didn't play Shepard and Glenn. Shepard played Yeager. I don't remember who Glenn played.

Ed Harris did indeed play both John Glenn in "The Right Stuff" and the mercenary in "Under Fire." In fact this was also noted on "At the Movies" (the Siskel/Ebert Sneak Previews) as evidence of this actor's versatility. Wayne Citrin (ucbvax!citrin)
