Jack Hedley
What a curious role for an archertypal stoic Brit to turn up in! I'm never ever going to watch it because it sounds horrible, but I'd be curious to know if Jack Hedley is good in it?
shareHe's FINE in it (and I say this as a huge fan of his work, especially in "Colditz"). He has the world weary, skeletal look which fits the mood of the film. However, he also looks far too sophisticated and gentle to be a convicting tough-as-nails New York cop. It doesn't help that they dubbed him over with a voice that would fit a man like Ed Asner more than Jack Hadley. The Italian dub has a better suited, more low-key voice that makes his performance come across better. Otherwise, his character as written is kinda flat and lifeless and other than the scenes with his prostitute/girlfriend all he gets to do is give exposition and look disappointed. I doubt Jack had to stretch his acting talents very much.
