When I saw the Hauptmann courtroom scene, I (thought that I) immediately recognized the judge as a completely hairless Gerald McRaney (from Simon and Simon, Major Dad, and the husband of Delta Burke.) There is no credit for the judge, or for McRaney, that I could find. Was I imagining that?
shareI'm sure it was him too.
shareI'm certain it was him. That voice is quite distinctive.
shareThank you, Dmarfish!
I saw this movie last night and went on IMDB specifically to confirm McRaney was the judge. But there's no mention of the judge here or on McRaney's page. Band members with no lines were credited, but not Hauptman's judge who pronounces the death sentence? Weird.
