It kind of looks like a young Ed O'Neill. My video Hound Horror Show book says he is in it. I believe Leonard Maltin even said he was in it. Well it isn't listed on his credits on this board.

shareDefinitely Ed in Deliverance. They missed it on imdb obviously.
This quote is from the site below it:
Back in 1972, he started his movie and TV career in the film "Deliverance". He had only one line: "No, we're still waiting for him to come around".

"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
I agree about the nose looking different. Ed O'Neill has a much wider nose. Also, Ed O'Neill would have been a lot taller than a 5'7'' Ned Beatty. The guy is the photo only has about 2 inches on him. Plus, the deputy looks older than 26 years old, which would have been Ed O'Neill's age at the time Deliverance was filmed. But the mouth looks astonishingly the same.
shareIt looks exactly like him only younger and blonder. I don't see why Ed doesn't say one way or the other if it's him or not. Has anyone ever asked him? Or can someone show where Ed was in 1972 to prove it wasn't him?

I dunno, eyebrows usually lighten with age, not the other way round. His hair is a different colour too.

Best evidence indicates that the deputy at the end of the film is Lewis Crone, who, if I found the right person, died in 1988. Ken Keener, who played the taller deputy, is still living. Macon McCalman played Deputy Arthur Queen, who is seen telling Ned Beatty that Beatty had been lying about what had happened.http://jasonmaris.com/blog/?tag=deliverance
ETA: A subsequent message from Lewis Crone's granddaughter confirms this.
I think it is Ed O'Neil. The eyes are the same. The nose is smaller; looks like it was broken at some point after. PS - he was a football player, maybe he busted his noggin after this film was made.
shareThere is a thread on this board with a video, Ed O'Neil himself is saying he was *not* in Deliverance. it's just an actor that looked a lot like him.
