: : I read the various interviews &c (enjoyed them) but I am having trouble placing some of Mr. Hurley's appearences in the film. Is soldier #2 the guy on the George Road who gets his face smashed by Magua's tomahawk just prior to the ambush?
: Oh GOD, NO!!! That ain't him!! Eric Hurley appears in the film throughout, though most often he's unrecognizable. First time you see him, if you've got a widescreen version, is as the coach carrying Duncan arrives at Webb's HQs. Soldier #2 is off to the left, wiping off his musket. He is, of course, AT the George Road Ambush, in the Fort (that's him hauling a cart up the ramp during a bombardment), & at Massacre Valley. I guess, most prominently, one sees him during the Canoe scenes & Under the Falls, where he's the soldier who gets knocked down by Hurons just before the Munro sisters are captured ...
You want a quick fix? Pick up the cover of the wide screen version. Now flip it over. See that blad guy dying so well? Hey!!! Thats me!!!! smile
