Doppelganger: Corrupt Cop from “Scarface”

 

 

I’m launching a new feature.  Let’s call this the “Doppelganger.”  Doppelganger is a German word meaning someone who looks like another person.  Here’s the first look-alike photo of what I hope and expect will be many more to come.

 

CORRUPT COP NOW SELLING WINDOWS IN LAS VEGAS

Who could have possibly imagined Mel Bernstein survived a .38 caliber slug in the stomach, followed by another blast to the chest?  That gruesome death became his fate after fucking with Tony Montana, a.k.a. “Scarface.”  Mel Bernstein was a greedy and corrupt Miami police officer on the take who was skimming money from drug dealers.

Mel Bernstein was played to utter perfection by Harris Yulin, a well-established character actor you’ve probably seen in at least a dozen movies.  Yulin typically plays bad guys.  He’s even been cast as J. Edgar Hoover and Joseph McCarthy.  One can certainly see the resemblance.

Apparently, Yulin (Bernstein) has a double.  And he’s now selling new window installation here in Las Vegas.  When I sat down with this salesman, during our price negotiations I was tempted to ask if he’d throw in “two first-class round-trip tickets to Europe.”  If you’ve seen Scarface, you’ll remember that reference.

By the way, the salesman’s real name?  Brian Wilson.

Seriously.

Check him out in the photo I snapped while he wasn’t looking.  I had to be tricky.
