Mulholland Drive — The Art Department Credits
(With or without Lynch's approval) decided to get cute:
Saumel J. Tell is a set dresser
Bobby L. Vaughn is the toolman
Steve A. Hagberg is a construction coordinator
David Long is a propmaker gang boss
Jerry J. Schultz is a propmaker/gangboss
L.J. DeRosa (Laura J. DeRosa) is the construction buyer
H. Hanna (Hugh Hanna) is a foreman

One thing I never got around to following up on is how many of the "actors" also work in the crew of Mulholland Dr. and/or have other connections in the movie. — unc84steve
