"Double Bill"
This rare photograph features William L. Petersen and Director William Friedkin taking a well-earned break during the filming of Friedkin's classic thriller - "To Live and Die in L.A." (1985).
The photograph was featured in a lengthy feature on Friedkin in "EMPIRE" magazine, covering his work to date and in particular his most recent movie (at that time) - "Rules of Engagement" (2000).
Petersen took the starring role as Secret Serviceman Richard Chance in Friedkin's tight and ultimately shocking thriller - "To Live and Die in L.A." - released less than a year prior to Manhunter in 1985.
