I really liked “A Few Good Men”, also. Great performances by Cruise, Moore, Bacon, Nicholson, Kevin Pollak, Kiefer Sutherland and J.T. Walsh. And a pre-ER appearance by Noah Wyle as Corporal Barnes in one of his earliest roles.

I was truly impressed by Wolfgang Bodison’s portrayal of Harold Dawson- he had no previous acting experience and read for the part only after Rob Reiner suggested he give it a try. Reiner was having difficulty finding the right person to portray Dawson and Bodison was working as Reiner’s assistant at the time. Bodison’s stellar performance as LCpl Dawson, a recruiting-poster Marine showed once again how much ability and acumen Reiner possessed when he was working on the other side of the camera.
