The results are in for the 2002.1 Internet Movie Awards.  Not surprisingly, Spider Man and Star Wars swept the majority of the awards.

As promised yesterday, here's the Brazilian article and interview, translated into English courtesy of Felibel!  Thanks Feli!
His Highness, Dougray Scott - March 1999 UOL.com

Spot the Scott - Was Dougray in Face/Off?*
While revamping my M:I-2 mini-site, I read a July 2000 Wow! Cinema interview with Dougray that I had posted back in 2000, but never read.  (When M:I-2 was released, I was kept very busy and didn't get to thoroughly read all the articles I posted.)  Anyway, I was surprised to read that Dougray supposedly had a walk-on (and un-credited) part as one of Nicolas Cage's henchmen in the 1997 movie Face/Off, also starring John Travolta.  Intrigued, I rented the movie and watched it very carefully.

About one-third of the way into the film, Travolta and a bunch of FBI SWAT guys burst into the loft of one of Cage's bag-guy buddies (played by a bald Nick Cassavetes).  During the massive gunfight, there is a scene where Cassavetes' character is given a little boy and he sets him down, out of harms way.  Soon thereafter, there is a very brief scene where one of the bad guys in a brown shirt is shot and swings to his left as he takes the impact of the bullet.  IMHO, I think that is Dougray!

Have you scene this film?  What are your thoughts?  Was that Dougray?  Share your thoughts on the Dougray Scott Forum.

*Thanks to Nikki of the German Dougray Scott site for the headline. And for enduring hours of examining this film herself!
