8. Comedian Christopher Guest Also Made His Debut In Death Wish (Seriously), Playing A Police Officer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgEXIIWaqEk These Death Wish-related career starters might seem like they're getting a bit ridiculous now, but there's no use denying you the full set now we've started, is there? You want to know all the actors who had early roles in Death Wish, don't you? You're not sure? What happens if there's a question on Death Wish at a pub quiz someday and you don't know all three? Exactly. Anyway, comedian and Spinal Tap genius Christopher Guest can also be glimpsed towards the end of this movie (it's getting silly now, I know), though - for once - he's playing his role - as a New York beat cop - deadly straight. To be honest, he looks terrified the whole way through, like they've pulled him off the street and forced him to say his lines at gunpoint. His character name, "Jackson Reilly," is pretty badass, though. I smell a low budget spin-off.
