In the Disney movie, Robert Taylor played Podhajsky. Here Podhajsky (who doubled for Robert Taylor in the film’s riding scenes) is shown recreating the special performance he staged for General Patton. |

Here we have a situation where a real-life person has to double for the movie star who is portraying him on screen. Incidentally, I was once portrayed in a major, A-list movie. The next time you watch the Tom Hanks film APOLLO 13, look for the Navy band that appears at the end when the astronauts are being brought on board the recovery vessel USS IWO JIMA. Those musicians are impersonating the band I was in and which was there when the actual recovery took place.
I'm SOOOOOOO confused. ~frank
Do you mean by that Eric that you
were in both the actual band that
played at the recovery & also in
the band portrayed in the movie
No, I was just at the actual Apollo 13 Recovery. By the time the movie was made I was too old to play myself and had to be doubled.
