Guy with the sunglasses


What was his name? I don't think they say a lot of the characters' names...

And does anyone know if Andrea Dillon is related to Matt Dillon?

reply

I don't think they ever gave him a name. I think Moody was the only one from his crew that had a name. I noticed also that for quite a few of the actors, My Bodyguard was the only time they ever acted.

reply

Those are good points. I think Dubrow was the only one of Moody's friends who was called by name. Come to think of it, I don't think Carson was ever called by name in the movie. I could only assume Carson was the "kid with the stuffed-up nose" since he was one of the primary characters and was billed pretty high. And the guy who played Mike was only in two movies in his whole career. You'd think he could earn a halfway decent living even if he only played thugs.

Carsons name was used when Clifford says to Linderman, "Did you see Carson give him the bird".
Also Dubrow IS the blonde kid. In the bathroom you hear him say "Arent you gonna shake hands with me?" and Moody says to Clifford "Shake hands with Dubrow".

my teacher went to school with a lot of the actors at the time when the movie was filmed and was good friends with Adam Baldwin. He told me that a lot of the actors who played the friends took the roles because it was cool and they needed some extra money.

Koontz is the guy with the sunglasses, Dubrow is the tall blond guy and Hightower is the one who was throwing wads of toilet paper at the bathroom ceiling.

Dubrow is the one everybody, for some reason, thinks is William Zabka.

reply

The guy with the sunglasses name was Koontz, his real name was Tim Reyna.

reply

The guy with the glasses is Hightower. Trust Me I am he

reply

Right. The actor is Dean R. Miller - also wore sunglasses in "Party Camp" and a few other films. Is this a trademark or is something wrong with his eyes??

reply

Hmmm- hard to prove that over the internet. But even if you are the actor- what happened with your acting? No more movies? Any My Bodyguard reunions in the works??

reply

I agree as well. Hightower was the one with the shades.

reply

He looked like Mick Jagger.
