 When the police are responding to the suicide of Roger Wade, Phillip  Marlowe (Elliott Gould (qv)) becomes irate that they dont believe  that Roger Wade could have murdered Terry Lennox wife. He yells  that hes going to call Ronald Reagan (I) (qv) (then the governor)  to protest their inaction. In the very next scene, Marlowe is  brought to Marty Augustines office for a shakedown. One of  Augustines bodyguards is an uncredited  Arnold Schwarzenegger (qv), later elected Governor of California.  Thus Marlowe, in a way, gets to meet the governor.
