holy crap ! Now that you mention it , it really DOES look like him from old black n white pics I saw of him. In the back of my mind I was always thinking I know that face but I always thought "actor" and had no idea it was LaMotta.

I'll take a wild stab at this (I've seen this lots of times too) without going back and looking.

2 wild guesses: Willie Mosconi (just cause I know he was a technical director)

Minnesota Fats (just cause he was one of Mosconi's main opponents n friends for years ) He always had that bartender look too.   I'm kinda a pool junkie.

Probably wrong but those are my wild guesses.

=========================

I know what you mean by watching old movies n always discovering something new.  The more I watch The Hustler the more I realize just how every cast member was so seemingly perfect for their role.

I also loved the negotiating of the gambling scenes and how they're so competive against each other while at the end of each match they have the utmost respect for each others skills and character.

then again, who knows i might of seen some of my movies 10-20 times too... 

braveheart, lord of the rings, dumbdumber, last of the mohicans, rounders, lockstocktwosmokingbarrels, office space, star wars, wedding crashers.... so many more too.

Watched The Hustler a couple of days ago for the umpteenth time.

I am a bit of a movie addict. I love it when I see something that I

hadn't noticed before when viewing old movies. Noticed two bartenders

in The Hustler Vincent Gardinia in the very first scenes and extra

applause for anyone who can come up with the person who played the

bartender in the bus depot when "Fast Eddie" meets the Piper Laurie

character.

Rounders.

National Treasure

Caddy shack.

Ocean 11.

Rocky.

The Big Lebowski cuz "The Dude" rules

   for "The Dude"

I will add the old post WWII movie "Task Force" with Gary Cooper and Walter Brennan because it's the basic history of Naval Aviation from it's beginning through WWII. GREAT viewing for those into naval or aviation history. when I need my "I didn't REALLY waste my time flying off boats during Vietnam" patriot fix, I watch this flick.
