Actor[]
I would say it's a safe bet that Pat Roach played this character given his reputation playing numerous characters in the saga as well as the fact that the list that confirmed him was more recent while the other article denying it was older and not confirmed.Gunman6 (talk) 08:07, June 30, 2013 (UTC)
- Of the two, The Complete Making of is more reliable... Vetinari(Appointment) 13:43, June 30, 2013 (UTC)
- Apologies, I meant the other role (Thuggee Assassin) that online users were claiming but not sourcing yet the official magazine claimed as Roach. This guy is definitely who it's claimed to be in the sourced book and film since his face is somewhat more flat. It's possible that Roach might've played another gong striker seen somewhere in the film though I believe.Gunman6 (talk) 21:33, June 30, 2013 (UTC)
- From what I can tell, Bill Reed was apparently both the Gong striker and the Thuggee assassin. Both share the same nose and overall exact facial structure and neither look anything like Pat Roach. Plus a few of the stunt performers on Temple of Doom played one or more bit parts including Thuggees. It's completely logical that the Thuggee assassin would be played by a stuntman given the demands of the performance (being rammed into walls and flipped over etc.) Furthermore, here's a link to a page that I found displaying all of Bill Reed's known screen appearances and both roles in Temple of Doom are listed: https://moviedude.co.uk/Bill%20Reed.htm It's definitely him, albeit in brownface.
