Strange casting coincidence
Gary Sinise plays Commander Kevin Dunne. An actor named Kevin Dunn appears in a few scenes as a reporter friendly with Nic Cage's character.
Things like this happen ...
For example, im the "Magnum, P.I." TV show of the 80s, the was an irregular character named Doctor Ibold or "Doc" Ibold. Coincidentially, a number of episodes credit a Douglas Ibold or, as he may have been called, "Doug" Ibold as editor ^^
