At the end of the film, the executioner looked like Tom Waits. Correct?

The complete cast of the 2001 movie "The Man Who Wasn't There" is on
the IMDB (Internet Movie Database) web site:

http://us.imdb.com/Credits?0243133

Tom Waits isn't listed. IMDB includes even uncredited actors, so if
he's not listed, I'm betting that he wasn't in the movie.

If you like, start at the IMDB credit page for the movie and click
links for likely-looking actors. The IMDB actors pages usually have
pictures of the actors, so you can see if you recognize anyone.

Sounds like a good movie -- I think I'll go out and rent it!

Hope this helps (if not, please post a clarification),

Um doesn't look like it... but I'll study it some
more:

A fairly comprehensive site on Tom Waits
Doesn't mention it either:

So now I'm looking for who did play the part.

I didn't see the film, but I knwo an actor who looks like Tom Waits.
His name is Ron Perlman, he played in many movies, including 'In the
name of the rose', where he played 'Salvatore the monk'. Many people
think it was Tom Waits who played Salvatore. Other films he palyed in:
City of Lost Children, Titan A.E., Alien Resurrection,...

This page has a full list of cast and crew, including bit roles like
"Sobbing Prisoner" and "Prison Visitor", but no mention of the
executioner. Hollywood.com's bio's on Tom Waits and Ron Perlman don't
say that either man played in this movie.

Was it the 2001 version or the 1986 version that you're referring to?
