So, I just wanted to throw out a quick tidbit:
I see on Xenopedia and also this
Predator 2 fan blog that the actor
Michael Wiseman is mistaken to have played either Leona's deleted husband OR the SWAT officer (called "Zinck") who is shot by El Scorpio in the hallway before running to the roof. Because supporting players and other folks are actually very accessible these days, I went straight to his website and filled out the contact form, getting this response from Wiseman's agent when I asked where to find him in the film:
QuoteFrom Michael:
I was a swat/police officer inside the headquarters and arresting a big strong black dude with a Mohawk whose name I THINK name is Leon.
But you can see me cross frame and say something like....Calm down Leon....or some such thing :-)
I imagine most of us can place this character when recalling the establishing shot in the police station when a cop gets headbutted by a handcuffed criminal being escorted. This is the character whom Wiseman is playing (FWIW, the photo of "Zinck" on Xenopedia doesn't look like Wiseman at all). For the record, MW claims in the bio on his website that speaking a line in Predator 2 got him into SAG. Considering "Zinck" doesn't have a speaking role and Leona's husband is not present in the film, it would not have been possible for MW to have played either of these characters and become SAG eligible. On his website, he claims the opportunity was based on his relationship with Stephen Hopkins.
On this note, I'm wondered where to find Paul Abascal, the director of Paparazzi (2004), who is also credited as a "Cop" in P2. Is he the cop that helps to finish arresting "Leon" in the police station?
And, because it remains a mystery, I am still on the hunt for the identity of the actor who would have played Leona's husband.
