So I just watched an episode of "Flight of the Conchords" on DVD (love this show, such a great vibe/style).

I may be crazy, but I think that Jemaine Clement, the taller spectacled one of the comedy/musical duo, was the actor who played the dryly comic "film expert" in those interstitial vignettes they used to air on a couple of the original Voom channels. It was the guy who wandered about Manhattan w/ a cameraman opining about cinema in a silly suit. I SWEAR it was Jemaine, w/ the same funky glasses, broad sideburns and accent.

Can anyone verify/clarify this? I've been all over YouTube, IMBD, Wikipedia and Google and haven't turned up any confirmation on this so far.

They look very much alike, but they are not the same actor.
