============= Some Spoilers ================= No, he does not perform here, but in case you are familiar with him, then you might recognize some of his characteristics: - the hat - the scene with the cloth -- see The Scarecrow It is a good short flick with a nice ending. The acting is a bit too staged, but has its charm.
