He makes a lot of claims, but there are not too many who can dispute or support those claims based on his classified work within the intelligence community.
He was the basis for Mr. X. In fact, he was one of the technical advisors for the film. And, he appears in a documentary on the
JFK: Director's Cut Special Edition disc 2.

As for that magic bullet not being a magic bullet, well JJ, with all die respect I do not buy it one bit. No one will ever convince me that Oswald was the lone shooter, fired those shots in such a short time, and that one bullet traveled the way that it did, up, down, sideways and did all that damage. I believe that the shooters, including Oswald, shot from different angles.
I never tried to convince anyone that Oswald was the lone shooter, especially since I don't believe it myself. I fully believe in the triangulation theories proposed by many researchers (i.e. Texas School Book Depository, grassy knoll/railroad fence, sewers/umbrella man/etc.). However, this documentary conclusively proves that
there was nothing magic about the magic bullet and that information regarding its trajectory and condition has often been intentionally misrepresented.
