: : : Dan Akroyd played him, but since it was a cameo why didn't they
: : : show close-ups? Or make it evident it was Mr. Aykroyd?

: Weber is the fat guy (sorry, best description) at the airport in 'Temple of Doom', just before Indy, Marion & Shorty fly off in Lao-Tze's cargo plane. You can tell which one is Weber because he says "Dr. Jones, this is positively the last time our airline can hold a plane for you. Now you must hurry...". He then says to Willie something like "Aren't you the famous singer, Willie Scott?".

: There's no real closeup of him, but when he speaks you can tell it's Dan Aykroyd. Also of note is that ToD came out in 1984, whereas the Spielberg-directed '1941' - in which Aykroyd plays Sergeant Frank Tree came out in 1979. That's probably how Aykroyd got the cameo part...
