I agree Hamilton was miscast, but I think Coppola for whatever reason put B list actors in bit parts. The guy who played Merle was some 50's pretty boy whose stage mane escapes me (his real name was Merle. Anyone know who I am talking about?


His name was Troy Donahue although his real name is Merle Johnson.



YES!! thats it. I think it is some kind of inside joke of FFC to use Troy and George in these parts. He also used comedian Don Novello to play the press agent.
