Patrick Bentley gets screen credit in "Charlie Wilson's War"

The following post was sent to us from David Bruce:



If you look back in the blog archives to October 24 you will see a note from Patrick about serving as Director Mike Nichols personal driver during the production of "Charlie Wilson's War." What you may not know is that he also appears in a scene that includes Tom Hanks.

Pat appears about one third of the way into the movie. The scene takes place in a public park where a CIA "geek" is playing chess with 4 different persons at once. As you look at the screen Pat is at the back table on the left. If you have the patience to hang around at the end his name appears in the cast credits.

When he was working in the production office he sent Sally and I each some movie swag. We each have a "Charlie Wilson's War" jacket. However, we forgot to wear them when we went to see the film.

For those of you who know Patrick's girlfriend Juliet you will see her in the attached photo. Look just behind Julia Roberts and there strolling past is our Juliet.
