Definitely a strong resemblance to the guy on the left in the "Forgiven" picture, but I can't tell for sure. Ironic title to the photo eh?

| The guy in the middle is Mr Ted Gentry. See other pictures on the website.
I guess the guy on the right is Mr John Payne.
I do not know if the actor below is the same Mr John Payne:
http://www.showcasefestival.org/about.html
"John has appeared in many productions for The Arts Club Theatre including My Fair Lady, Amadeus, Travels with my Aunt, Game of Love and Chance, and Three Penny Opera. Classically trained, his voice is heard world wide in commercial voice-overs, cartoons, and narration"
Mr Bill McEwen mention a product promotion in Comdex involving Elvis Impersonators skydiving team.

He's not really a CEO, he just plays one on TV? And then tries to really be a CEO, but isn't, and, well, we all know the results of that? He should at least stay at a Holiday In Express or something to get qualified. (TV advertizing campaign in USA has average people who stay at one of those hotels going and doing surgery and other things the next morning, using their hotel choice to show how smart they are and thus must be extremely capable of what they're now doing for the first time) Last edited by billt on 31-Jul-2007 at 03:27 PM.

It certainly looks alot like him, so it would be a big coincidence if it wasnt, considering that his name is even there. |

The act "Forgiven" and seeing the picture of the guy to the very left, you see Bill McEwen, so yes it's him... _________________

That is brilliant! Look at the body language of the others.
All we need are some "text bubbles", Bill says: With this I`ll conquer the world. Man in middle: "steps back in amazement". Man on right says: Cool what is it?

Library Synopsis
An out-of-luck Finn is on a flight to Rio with his two young daughters when he runs out of gas and meets up with a down-at- heel pilot on a remote jungle road. They join forces in a scheme to move an abandoned tractor to the northern gold fields, and extract a fortune from the land. |
Hmm...an "out-of-luck Finn"?

Well...there are just so many of these out there.
I finally got a thread to place this on-topic link.
"An out-of-luck Finn"
"runs out of gas"
"meets up with a down (on his luck)"
"They join forces in a scheme"
"extract a fortune from the land."
ok. ok. So I edited out some of the prior synopsis.
The old phrase "truth is stranger than fiction?"

Guys! Stop that! I'm trying to write small, funny stories in my spare time, but hell! Amiga reality is unbeatable at such events!
That's it! I quit!
I'm going to burn my notepad now.

The words on the boxcover below the title are cute too.
Oh..1st thing that hit me when I found this link was the plot of the movie "The Producers".
