Title: Hustler in Mexico
Post by: meandennis on Feb 16, 2006, 08:05 AM

I don't know if this has been noted in other posts, but I have just learned that the role of the young Mexican hustler who Jack picks up after being rejected by Ennis, was played by the films' cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto. This isn't listed in the cast and crew credits of the story to screenplay version.

meandennis - Thanks for the info, I was unware of that. Prieto's work in this movie should get him the Oscar.

I heard that the guy who was supposed to play the hustler was too short for the part, so Prieto filled in at the last moment.
