Not much has changed from Cosmo to Jackie Treehorn. Do you think this was an intentional Coen brothers’ Easter Egg?

Ben Gazzara did 3 films with John Cassavettes. Not exactly a lightweight...

That actor is known for like, 3 roles and every one of them puts him in an off white suit

pretty sure the guy from dirty dancing killed jackie treehorn but I can't prove it because no one saw anything even though half the town was there

Glad to see he’s not still working as a small-time pimp in Singapore.

I think you mean Brad Wesley from Road House
BobbyLupo1979@reddit
I have only just realized that Jackie Treehorn is also the lead bad guy in Roadhouse. Wow.

Favorite Cassavettes flick

I always like to think it's the same character in both movies. Obviously his name is different but in the "smut business" they often change names. But he is involved in the "adult industry" and mafia in both movies. No way the Coens weren't aware of all this

Chinese Bookie was obviously before standards fell in adult entertainment.
Human_Reflection_166@reddit
He was a very accomplished actor before the smut business.
SeaBag8211@reddit
Regrettably, standards have fallen
HelloYoghurt@reddit
He wouldn’t know, Dude. He deals in publishing, entertainment, political advocacy.

The Chinaman is not the issue, Cosmo!
RCDNThrowaway@reddit
Also, Dude, "chinaman" is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.
2wheelsThx@reddit
And, Dude, "bookie" is also not the preferred nomenclature. Bookmaker, please.

Was this a guy that built the railroads?

How's the smut business, Jackie?
Jodanmawashigeri@reddit
Hey now! He’s in publishing.
BOMBLOADER@reddit
It’s true. Standards have fallen.
tucker_sitties@reddit
An amazing film. Don't sleep on it. Noir gritty, the whole thing. Grab a glass of bourbon and enjoy it!
BOMBLOADER@reddit
Have it your way, Dude.
Fluffy_Voice953@reddit

Affectionate-Ring104@reddit
Yes regrettably, it's true, standards have fallen in adult entertainment.

Fuckin’ eh…
Chikntendy@reddit
Back when he still jerked off manually
Lucky-Physics2767@reddit
He's great also in another Cassavetes movie Husbands. It was so fun to watch until the third act when it becomes disturbing. But til then, it was just John Cassavetes, Peter Falk and Ben Gazarra fooding around
Birddog_90210@reddit
He popped up on the Netflix doc "Power". Have to say I was disappointed with his takes here
