Although
Benjamin Boguet
probably never planned on murdering a Chinese bookie, he took his name from the protagonist of John Cassavetes – the name sure sounds cool but foreshadows no good based on the character's fate. Almost two decades passed by and it looks like the tricky name was a good choice. The musician
Cosmo Vitelli
is very similar to the one in the film as he also loves to take risks and testing his boundaries.
