Böll Boyer

The character Dede Martin is referenced several times in Roman Polanski's cult thriller Frantic (1988), where audiences later find out he's the connection of Michelle - played by Emmanuelle Seigner - and the mystery suitcase that causes plenty of trouble to Dr. Richard Walker, the leading character played by Harrison Ford, and his wife. Like in many films from the master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock, despite prominent mentions and references, the character of Dede is only shown on screen as a dead character. Like Dick Hogan as David in Rope (1948) and Philip Truex as the lead character in The Trouble with Harry (1955), Böll Boyer is best remembered in those high-profile pictures as a corpse but in Boyer's case, it marks as his one and only film appearance - unlike the other actors who had credited roles in other films yet both end having as their final film performances the similar role of killed victims. Coldly seated next to a cat's sandbox, dead expression of horror on his face and that's just a quick glimpse from the French actor, memorable enough to scare audiences when he is discovered by Ford and Seigner in Frantic (1988).
