From the Motion Picture Jekyll Island (click here for a higher resolution video)

A fun role as a particularly slimy and lecherous Swiss jewel smuggler, Dietrich Mueller, in the motion picture Jekyll Island. This scene is with Brion James (now deceased), Everett McGill and Olivia Burnette. Although this action film went straight to tape, it was nevertheless beautifully shot--mostly on Jekyll Island--by cinematographer Maz Makhani and occasionally shows up on Starz and other cable networks. Brion and I became good friends on the shoot and, in spite of his often fearsome roles, he was a teddy bear of a guy. Olivia was an exceptional sport about the scene where I, as a 50-year-old man, came onto her as a high school teenager. Olivia was, of course, in her mid-20's when we shot the film. Coincidentally, if I correctly recall, I had auditioned for the role as her father in Clarissa Tells All.
