The Joe Strummer movie... which one was Bez?

I saw the new Joe Strummer movie (The Future Is Unwritten) on Saturday -- everyone should go see it (or make sure to put it in your NetFlix cue).

There were a couple questionable parts... with the main flaw being the fact that the filmmaker didn't note who was talking when (I knew who Johnny Depp, Matt Dillon and Bono were... but which one was Bez?). There was more than a slew of noteworthy important types saying thought provoking things, but how am I supposed to know what Bernie Rhodes looks like as a 60 year old guy? 

Print out this IMDB cast list and refer to it as folks appear on screen.  I'll probably rent it and do that when it comes out on DVD, I bet extras are going to be a scream!

Despite all that, the end left me completely teary and touched. So sweet.

Did anyone go see him when he toured with the Mescaleros?

Seeing him at the Showbox a few years ago was one of the high points of my life. It was incredible.

The only time he came 'round to Grimsville was when he was touring "Rock Art," which, I'm eternally thankful I went to. Amazing, amazing, amazing show. It was great, but also made me really sad I could never see the Clash in concert, because if Strummer alone was that good, the Clash would have been like getting caught in a nuclear war. Like in a good way.
