It isn't Ed Harris. I remember the guy Mousie was talking about (and he was cool... my brother and used to have "I'd take pleasure in gutting you, boy" as one of our catchphrases that meant instant laughter if either of us said it... rather disturbing to those who didn't know the context). I'm pretty sure it was a big black guy, wasn't it? And I don't know that it was a main role; he mightn't have even had a name.
