You know, the guy who told Billy, "We're a small market team and you're a small market GM." I can't find anything in the credits.

Thanks for the info. I was able to get some more details about this after Googling. Bobby Kotick is a friend of Moneyball director, Bennett Miller. He agreed to play the role if Miller would direct a short film for his Call of Duty Endowment foundation. Also, Kotick didn't want to be listed in Moneyball's credits. No wonder I couldn't find anything!

Bobby Kotick has a reported net worth of over 2 billion dollars. He's done very well taking over as captain of Activision, a game company that has been around since the beginning of the personal computer era; when I imagine Kotick was still in school.
