John Diehl as "Punk" in 'Escape From New York'

 I watched the movie again tonight and this was the first time I noticed his name in the credits. 

Has anyone been able to locate him in the movie?

Could this be him (far right)?

No Escape footage but a nice little clip show

 

Funny that the "one day I just couldn't do it anymore" line could be applied to Vice.

This was great! Glad to see a focus on John Diehl for a change! Lots of talent there!

I love Escape from New York yet had no idea he was in it!  Gonna have to give it another watch.  He had a part in Kickboxer 2 where he played Sasha Mitchell's partner/trainer.  I always thought his role in this was kinda similar to "Down For the Count".

I will agree that does look like John.

That's John there. Watched it last night on the restoration blu ray version and I spotted him straight away.

The DVD version was unclear, the scene is very dark and grainy to begin with.
