Unknown Actor: I didn’t find the guy below in the cast list. He is in the Oval Office when they’re trying to convince the Vice President that the President is dead. Buddy Epson (the VP) is arguing that there could have been a stowaway on board the president’s plane and says “That doesn’t mean the president didn’t jump. Just means there was an extra person aboard that’s all. I wanna know Toomey, how that could happen”.

I didn’t find a Toomey on IMDB, TCM or the ending credits. I was able to identify most of the cast members that were listed and didn’t find the guy above. I couldn’t identify Dale Tarter (airman), Jerry Crews (news cameraman).
