    WOW. Either you really need glasses or you must think all African-Americans look the same, because that guy looks nothing like Ken!

    I'm going to have to agree with mike here and the others. That is definitely not Foree. Maybe he's the cop driving the car because I can't really see him, but he's obviously not the one running.

    I'm sticking with mistake...

    Ken Foree
    Ken Foree built a substantial career playing toughs, thugs, and heavies on both sides of the law. He maintained a certain amount of prestige for the first decade or so of his acting tenure. Foree debuted as a goon in one of the more critically respected racially themed films of the 1970s: the sports comedy The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings (1976), starring Richard Pryor and Billy Dee Williams. Foree followed it up with a turn as a National Guardsman valiantly defending his nation against hordes of rampaging zombies (from inside a shopping mall) in the cult classic Dawn of the Dead (1978), played a black sportsman in Phil Kaufman's period piece The Wanderers (1979), and re-teamed with George A. Romero for the medieval fantasy Knightriders (1981). Small roles in two critically respected A-listers -- James Cameron's The Terminator (1984) and Richard Pryor's Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling (1986) -- did much to cement Foree's reputation as a reliable player
    Still doesnt say exactly what he did in there mind!

    hmm, its so confusing....if you look at the scene when the cops first enter the clothes store and are shining their torches - that "what year" cop looks very much like Ken...similar build too...

    But yeah I'm divided...I can see both arguments but now that the cop's real name has been exposed, I am in serious doubt!
    Innocent victims of merciless crimes, fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs.

    Step after step we try controlling our fate. When we finally start living, it's become too late.

    The format of that cast listing is "Actor - Character" not "Character; Actor". If you look closely, the semicolons are separating the listed entries, not linking characters and actors. So Hugh Farrington is the "customer", and Foree has no character name associated with his entry.
