: I found Mann's comments about Dennis Banks playing Joseph Brandt intriguing. I'm going to have to re-listen to the DVD this weekend because I could have sworn Hawkeye refers to this character as 'Uncle Nokomis' or something similar.
Yes, Danalee! That jumped out at me instantly! Joseph Brandt? Huh? Same film???? I don't know ... Dennis Banks WAS Ongewasgone in the film ... or, as he's known around here, Uncle Wiscone ... Either it's been too many viewings for MM, or he modeled, in his mind, this character after Brandt.
