No idea who this guy is but there seems to be loads of figures of him ?

Jim Belushi, he's John Belushi's less funny brother.

I'd have to carve about 35 lbs off this frame and maybe a couple of inches to make a plausible Bogie.

@RichB 1:30 scale???

Ah ok, not a big name over here but i think i know the guy from the Blues brothers so i am guessing he was a tank guy in a tv show ?

He played the lead role of MSgt Joe Gunn in the 1995 TV movie remake of the 1943 movie Sahara. Humphrey Bogart played the lead in the original.

@moon puppy You might be able to find a passable Bogie head from the likes of Hornet to graft onto a suitably attired US tank crew figure. If anyone gets excited about the likeness you could say it was his stunt double standing in for him while the film crew was blocking the scene and setting up the camera positions.

Cheers,

Not really a big name here either. Moderately funny in some movies but I doubt anyone would know who he was if it weren't for John.

With good reason, how can you improve on the classic. Like remaking Casablanca, why?

Please don't give those Disney morons any ideas.
