Browsing through the photo gallery on ptanderson.com for PDL, most everybody is pretty easy to identify, EXCEPT "Marine Major David Nathanson". Just wondering who this dude is as I've never seen any reference to him.

7th Marine Regiment is headquartered at Twentynine Palms MCB, which isn't too far from L.A., so that fits. I was just wondering if there was some other tie in (somebody's friend or something) I wasn't aware of. PDL isn't the type of film that usually requires a military technical advisor.

no big mystery. He's a relative of Mark Cardella who owns Eckart Auto Body Shop used in the film.....

Thanks

I'm currently wearing the Eckhardt Auto Body Shop teeshirt that Mark gave to me. What a nice guy.
