Great film; especially considering I say the woeful Mel Gibson vehicle payback first....
Anyway, does anyone else think that the car salesman chatting up the female customer at Big John's car lot bears a very close resemblance to Christopher Walken? Even listen to the laugh! I could've sworn it was him, but apparently not.......

The car salesman is played by one Lawrence hauben. And yes, he does sound quite like Christopher Walken.

On a serious note, having refreshed my memory by having watched POINT BLANK tonight, I did stop in my tracks when I heard the car salesman. I thought to myself, he REMINDS me of someone. (I know that guy! But... who is he?) It was hard to make out his features, as he is in a long shot throughout, but his voice, mostly his delivery... who is this guy? I made sure to catch his name in the end credits, anticipating that satisfying "Oh, THAT's who it was..." feeling, but when I saw the name, it was, "huh? Who is that?"
