Kinda weird casting there. Got me thinking about the Eagles, pulled me right out of the movie.
I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
I agree. Glenn's agent must have done some wheeling and dealing to give Glenn this small part. His acting was terrible.
shareHe may have been a friend of Cameron Crowe. Jan Wenner also has a small part. I don't think Glenn Frey did that bad of a job, but his part was so small that it really didn't matter either way. Non-actor celebrities make cameo appearances in movies and TV shows all the time.
shareHe was first choice. Cameron felt he was somebody "who wouldn't take any *beep* from Tom Cruise".
shareOn January 18, 2016 Glenn Frey passed away at age 67 from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis, and pneumonia while recovering from intestinal surgery.
Crowe began his career as a music journalist for Rolling Stone. He's obsessed with classic rock stars.
shareBecause Cameron Crowe directed the film and he used to work for Rolling Stone. He is also married to Nancy Wilson of the band Heart. He is close friends with a lot of musicians and uses them in his movies. Jann Wenner the publisher of Rolling Stone is also in the film, along with Jerry Cantrell of the band Alice in Chains. Crowe's other films contain a lot musicians as well. "Singles" has the members of Pearl Jam and singer Chris Cornell from the band Soundgarten. "Say Anything" features the actress Ione Skye who is the daughter of "Mellow Yellow" scottish singer Donovan.
