Pulled this Frank McRae autograph card from a pack of Rittenhouse James Bond 50th Anniversary cards. He plays Bond’s friend Sharkey in the film License to Kill, a movie I have not seen.
However, I have seem many of this former football player’s films, including that short stint in the 1980s when I was into the film version of Hemingway’s Cannery Row. Anyone remember that one?
His best-known role in a least-known film, though, is as Pvt. Ogden Johnson Jones in the oft-derided/oft-defended Steven Spielberg movie, 1941. Anyone remember that one? Here’s the trailer:
Anyway, to recap:
- pulled this card of a guy most people have seen, but don’t know,
- most people have never heard of Cannery Row,
- most of the same people hated 1941.
Is that obscure enough for ya?
The 10-Minute Ramble 
I saw the picture and immediately thought “Hey, it’s that guy from Cannery Row!” Guess that one really stuck with me.
I’m sure I watched it at your house! The most I remember is that Nick Nolte-Debra Winger dance scene for some reason!
