What movie does Bill Graham have a small part in?
Forums:
Watching the free channels that Directtv is giving for now and I'm watching a movie and Bill Graham enters a scene and say's a few lines. Movie from 1987. Nothing to do with music.
Without googling does anybody know what movie?

He did the ones mentioned
He did the ones mentioned here but his best part, IMHO-was in Gardens of Stone,--in 1987--a good Francis Ford Coppola flick where he played Don Brubaker and James Caan stared

Years ago, I saw an interview
Years ago, I saw an interview with Ford, Coppola and Peter Coyote where Francis said Bill once told him of his dream to be a movie star or something to that and that is when he thought of Bill for the part. I remember seeing the movie when it came out (pre Netfix days) and going wholly shit, isn't that Uncle Bobo up there? I visit Bill's grave in Colma once or twice a year--I drive past it for work. Stop in, say hi to him, his sister Easter adn her husband. I did not know him but had the pleasure of chatting him up a few times. He, and his 2 sons sat right in front of us at one of the Garcia on Broadway shows and we chatted with him and his boys and another time, just before an 1988 Shoreline show--it was Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur--can't remember. He was outside checkout the crowd as we were filing in and I said Bill, why aren't you at temple--busting his chops a bit and he said "this is my temple". We talked about the Bronx for 10 minutes as that is where my people grew up the same time and area he grew up there after coming to the states as a refugee. People I know who were fiends with him or BGP staff have a million stories--he was a true original--a real mensch as they say.

His best role. As I remember he's in one scene, as a smartass anti-war liberal, James Caan beats the shit out of him.
