I seem to remember someone else who had a small part in that movie but went unnoticed. I can't think of who it is now.
Willie Mosconi? (the REAL greatest pool player).
I think I'm thinking of the guy who played in "The Sting", Dooley's sidekick. The one with the big nose. I think he was in the scene where Eddie hustles the wrong guy, and pays the price.
YES YES YES BETH! I had a feeling that you were talking about him, but I don't know his acting name! The camera pans over him in the scene you are talking about! That face/pug nose is one that you just don't forget!
