I'm trying to figure out who played Felix's partner, who tracked the homer in the car with him, in GF. He is never named in the movie. The cast member I think most likely to be correct is the one called "Johnny." However, there is also someone called "Simmons" and maybe another I'm forgetting.

Does anyone know for a fact who's who?

I don't know, but whoever it was would probably look far more suitable playing a game of dominoes than acting as back-up for the world's greatest super spy.

Austin Willis played Leiter's partner, Simmons.
He also appears briefly in Clint Eastwood's 'Firefox'.

Roebuck, you rock! Thank you!

Where did you find this information? I'd have guessed he was "Johnny." He bears a strong resemblance to Van Johnson.

I have to make a correction here. Simmons was the guy Goldfinger was "taking to the cleaners" at gin rummy in the beginning of the movie, not Leiter's partner. Sorry I don't have the answer as to who played the mysterious Johnny, though.

Thanks Turn. Sorry Kara.
So much for me 'rocking'.

Peter Cranwell played the character of Johnny. Is that any help?

[Kara Milovy]

Well, I will assume it's Johnny for now. The credits for who plays Johnny and who plays Simmons and so on are readily available on the IMDb. The difficulty is in assigning the correct character/actor to the correct role. As we've just seen.
