hey i was wondering if anyone can tell me the name of the person who "played" tom jarrett?? i know he wasn't credited b/c he didn't really have a significant role, but i was trying to confirm whether or not he was african american? i, for some reason, remember him being african american. can anyone confirm or deny this? please? thanks alot!!
sharei don't think he was African American ... in the late 70's there weren't many black QBs
shareI just watched the movie and the only glimpse we get of Tom Jarrett is a when he's on the strecher being carried off, and you only see his arm, which is white. Otherwise, you can't tell who played him. I imagine it was probably some extra, or maybe they grabbed some random player to play the scene. He is not credited anywhere I've checked, so it's almost certainly not an "actor" playing him.
