On my bluray - 0:37:30 to 0:37:35. He moves from the center of the screen to the right, and has a glass of champagne in his right hand. He nods to someone just as he walks out of the shot. Beard and moustache, bald spot on the back of his head (sorry EH). String quartet is in the foreground of the scene. ---

Hello, **Elendil’s Heir** , I came across the news that Marvel Studios is going back to Cleveland to shoot some scenes for [Captain America: The Winter Soldier](http://marvel.com/news/story/19461/captain_america_the_winter_soldier_to_film_in_cleveland). > [@](#): > > The Greater Cleveland Film Commission today announced that Marvel Studios will film portions of Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” in Cleveland, Ohio. Any chance you will be making another cameo? 🙂 ---

Unlikely. That really was a once-in-a-lifetime experience; just wouldn’t mean the same to do it again. I also doubt my luck would hold and that I’d either (a) be chosen as an extra or (b) have any screen time. ---

Good deal! I am so envious. I’m in Indianapolis and wanted to get over there to try and be an extra, but lacked transport. The next time I see it, I’ll look for you! ---
