OMG, what's up with you people? And all these crazy talk about Louie being Angel? He was clean shaven be cause he was dressed as a WOMAN!!!! Duh?
If you're looking for more than that in his appearance there, here's your plossibile theory. Harry killed the doctor, Toots, Margaret and her father, but Louis killed Epiphany.

Thought about this after seeing the film again and realizing that it is him. He is wearing the same clothing I think that we see a person wipe blood from the walls after the apartment ceremony. Maybe that is supposed to be him too?

I always assumed it was just a way of showing that Lucifer, like God, was omnipotent and that was just a way of him keeping tabs on Harry. That or the robed creature was just one of his minions or demons which also bore his likeness.

I don't know how I forgot this detail but I watched it again today, and I noticed that the hair color was De Niro's (even before he turned around) and that yes in the split second reveal it is De Niro with short hair and no beard.
"On Pet Rescue today, the clever stoat keeps everyone on their toes in Somerset!"

I just checked that scene. I didn't think it was DeNiro but it is. (The angle of his face hides the famous mole). Maybe he is clean shaven just to show he can change his appearance and can be in many places, pulling the strings.

Plus, he's "let his hair down" as well.

The devil in the film has taken the form of Harry Angel, this is why on Favourites first meeting mentions haven't we met before. It is the devils intent for Favourtie to remember but not before dragging this to the final conclusion. The facial hair not exposing him completly. This is a man who felt he could out smart him. As he comes closer to the true the figure he is always trying to face in his dreams and in the harlem church is face of Angel. De Niro is the soldier (Harry Angel) who turns round on new years eve in the flash back. Angel who's own soul has been given to the devil is watching his demise also.
I don't think so. We get only brief side shot of the soldier Harold Angel, but I think it's just "some dude" (not De Niro), a soldier who returned from war and got unlucky when Johnny Favorite picked him up from the crowd.

Everyone is talking about when Rourke walks passed DeNiro sitting on the walkway dressed all in black, not the New Year's scene.
The end of the film already explains what happened, so your "theory" not only makes no sense, it's irrelevant.

Yes he was. If you watch the flashbacks at the end of the movie, when you arrive to the scene with the 1st person POV moving through the crowd (when they were searching for their sacrifice), it ends on a split second shot of Robert DeNiro's clean shaven face.
My theory is that it is not the Devil that DeNiro plays, but the real Harry Angel the disguise is the appearance of the Devil.
This is why "the Devil" had control over Harry Angel (as Mickey Rourke); it is because he was under the influence of the real Harry Angel's (as Robert DeNiro) soul.
In the end, Johnny Favorite was looking into a mirror (if not literally then figuratively) and seeing what was inside of him.

DeNiro was NOT the soldier.

I like the idea of De Niro & the beard reminding me of Martin Scorsese in the back seat of Travis Bickle's Yellow Taxi

I don't think that Cyphre's physical form resembled that of Harold Angel. There's nothing other than him being vaguely familiar to Johnny that would imply such a thing.

Ahh, that makes complete sense. Thanks

1. Where's the fan/hallucination pertaining to Epiphany's murder?
2. Yes, killed, past tense, but now Cypher takes it upon himself to kill, picks up the gun and dog tags, and afterwards waits outside the murder scene, clean-shaven.
3. When is this shown?

al666940-3 got it right.
~What if this is as good as it gets?!~

You guys need to review the film:
1.- WHENEVER Angel gets flashbacks with a fan suddently rotating backwards, he's being under Satan's infuence and thus killing someone.
2.- Cyphe clearly said that Johnny killed them all, under HIS guidance.
3.- Johnny finally remembers doing all that after Cyphre leaves.
Cyphre only placed the dogtags and gun, nothing else.

So we're to assume Angel/Favorite was standing in front of the mirror at Margaret's apartment struggling for his identity, goes to kill Epiphany, then is back in front of the mirror again? Nah, Cyphre picked up the gun and dog tags and framed him

Another thing I don't understand is why the detectives don't question that woman in black sitting outside the hotel door. It did turn out Cyphre murdered Epiphany at the end

Are you saying that Satan was in the form of the original Favourit?

It didn't occur to me.
Did you figure it out before it was explained to you, you miserable piece of sh!t?

It didn't occur to me.
Did you figure it out, beep

The character doesn't know he's in a movie. If you met someone in real life with that name, would your reacation actually be, "Hey, I bet he's Satan incarnate"? I'm guessing no, especially, if you, like Harry, don't believe in such things.
