jakeem Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The Hitchcock film is listed among Osborne's acting credits, but can he actually be spotted in a scene? Also, did he ever mention his participation in the movie during one of his TCM intros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsu1975 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 He has a credit for Spartacus as well ... good luck trying to spot him in that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He apparently had even a smaller role than Ted Knight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibi Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 He apparently had even a smaller role than Ted Knight. LOL. It could be another Osborne......And Psycho was just on last night! I'll have to wait till the next showing to keep my eyes alerted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vautrin Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 He played third rake from the left in Sam Loomis' hardware store. Look quick or you'll miss him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 He played third rake from the left in Sam Loomis' hardware store. Look quick or you'll miss him. According to imdb, he played "Man" (uncredited). That jogs my memory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 LOL. Does his listing as other than an extra indicate that he had at least one line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 That makes it official. Robert Osborne is the Man. Not true. I posted a few days ago that Carl Perkins was the man. There can only be one man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of the early street scenes in Phoenix or when she sells her car. Likely so small no one would even recognize him. Reminds me of someone pointing out that Raymond Chandler had a brief shot in Double Indemnity. I had never caught that before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, those were about the only parts that had people about. It's possible his footage may have been cut in the final print too. Something to keep me occupied next viewing!

Something to keep me occupied next viewing! I first read it in one of Robert's obituaries. Never heard that before. I wish someone in the know would elaborate on exactly where he appeared in the movie. Likely shorter than the Hitchcock cameo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont remember R.O. ever mentioning it. Would think he would have (unless he got cut). Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
