Sox owner John Henry shows up in 'Moneyball' movie trailer

The trailer for "Moneyball," the Brad Pitt flick based on Michael Lewis's best-selling book of the same name, hit the Web this week, and it looks promising. Pitt plays Billy Beane, the Oakland A's general manager who's credited with using sabermetrics - a stats-heavy approach to evaluating talent - to turn around the formerly moribund franchise. The movie is co-written by "Social Network" scribe Aaron Sorkin and stars the always entertaining Jonah Hill as a character based on former A's exec Paul DePodesta. (Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman also show up as former A's manager Art Howe.) In the trailer, there's a scene shot at Fenway Park between Pitt and a character that vaguely resembles John Henry. Is it supposed to be him? Yes. In an email today, the Sox owner told us he's seen the movie and he is, in fact, in it. But - get this - he can't remember who plays him. "Forgot the name of the actor," Henry wrote. And darned if we know. The guy looks like a cross between John Heard, Ted Danson, and William Hurt, but it's none of them, and the Internet Movie Database is no help at all. Last fall, when the movie filmed at Fenway, we asked the Sox owner who he'd like to play him. His reply: Sam Shepard.
