Talbott also appeared in a number of films, playing a bully in Carrie, a party-crasher in Big Wednesday, a highway patrolman in Any Which Way You Can, a reckless stunt driver in Used Cars, a real estate agent in Manhunter, and a reluctant deputy in First Blood. He also played a part in National Lampoon's Vacation but his scene was edited from the final cut, although his character "Cowboy" is shown in a photograph during the end credits, and his name appears in the credits as well.[1]
