RE: After Hours

You know, though, I have always wondered about the
Larry Block connection.  His performance is really
only seconds long, and he doesn't speak a word.  He
glares, though.  He's good.
But come on, doesn't anyone else find it a little
suspicious that Larry is in this film?  Was he
contributing to Joe's show by 1984/5, when "After
Hours" was shot/released?  Has Scorsese ever commented
on this?
Joe's "No Show" comments seemed pretty definitive, but
the Larry thing really surprised me.  Larry, you're
out there, man, care to shed some light?
