Joe Cafasso as Lt. Col. Jay Mosca, himself and Rob Storm


This is from the Durst Family web page, that I referred to here.

When I first published that information, I wasn't even aware that there was a video there - my computer didn't open it.  Now that I have a different system, I found that it was a file that I could convert and view, so that's what I did.  It's a touching story the Durst family has about Lt. Col. Jay Mosca remembering their dad's work, but as you can see in the video, it was a stretch of the imagination to believe what he was saying was true.  But notice how convincing he is.  He is very skilled at getting people to believe what he's saying.

For those people who haven't seen Cafasso in action before, this is probably the lengthiest video I've seen of him. Perhaps, though, Andrea's family has taken family type videos that include him talking; I can't imagine film rolling without him inserting himself - no matter what the format is.

The only other one that I'm aware of is - the one where he is HIMSELF, Joe Cafasso, and appeared in the movie "Outfoxed", below.



He has appeared on the podcast "Messing About In Ships Episode 16" as Rob Storm,so we have an audio for him on that podcast to compare to the others. We also get a special little treat: a press release where Cafasso as Rob Storm was going to speak at the Indiana Dunes, courtesy of the Indiana State Park Nature Center. One has to wonder if he was paid in some way or form for that.

Here is the info they had on the press release from "Rob" aka Cafasso:
Indiana Dunes Hosts Severe Weather Program on April 13

The Indiana Dunes State Park Nature Center is hosting a special weather program, titled “Severe Weather and You” on at 2pm, Sunday April 13.
