Famous movie director Michael Bay played a small acting role in Free Verse as "Goon #3".

Morgan Richter mentioned it in her review (starts around 3:12):

She hunted for his face but couldn't find it.  By process of elimination, this should be goon #3:

This is Bay, looking very different:

Can anybody spot Bay in this episode?

If you're looking for Bay just watch for an explosion. :)

According to deuxflicsamiami.fr Michael Bay appeared in the scene where Sandoval is at a hotel beachfront waiting for the kidnappers.
Bay is hardly visible.

As far as I remember it was said that he is visible in the abduction scene in the bar (but I never noticed him in this scene either ;-)...

I was not able to find him in any scene and there are not many to choose from (the abduction scene, the beach scenes at the end) especially since he is listed as a speaking role in the end credits (extras without speaking line are not listed there).

But the picture comparison above ("elimination leads to goon#3....") made me laugh! No way that Bay is the Castillo type shown there (he appeared in another episode as well as an extra), not even the best plastic surgeon could make that happen....:D

Maybe it’s a different Michael Bay. Believe it or not, there a couple of Dadrian Wilsons out there that look nothing like me either :)

Amazing find, thanks.  That must be it.

I was working on a theory that Bay himself had placed that credit on his IMDB page to boost his notoriety, but then I realized he was listed on the end credits of the actual episode.

How did he get a credit out of this?!?!?  We've had actors speak lines and not get a credit.  I wonder if it was a friend of a friend thing, somebody doing him a favor.
