Dr. Julius Lifflander


Can someone confirm for me....it says that Dr. Julius Lifflander was played by Bill Freeman, who (if you know baseball) was an all-star catcher for the tigers in the 60's and 70's. But the baseball player's name last name is actually spelled Freehan (with an h).

Is the name listed in the cast spelled wrong or was Dr; Lifflander played by someone entirely different and the cast information is incorrect? I saw the movie and could not piece together the resemblence to the real Bill Freehan (could have been that I have a few too many while watching it though)?

Good catch, pun intended. I think either the catcher or the actor is related to Morgan Freeman as well, like distant cousins.
