Keanu Reeves arrived in Buffalo late Thursday minus much of the scruffy beard he exhibited on two previous scouting trips for his upcoming feature film, “Henry’s Crime.”

As before, he drew double-takes as he meandered around Buffalo and Niagara Falls.

Reeves was spotted eating dinner in the Hard Rock Cafe near the cataracts after landing at Buffalo Niagara International Airport, then spent Friday morning retracing his Nov. 4 trek to Main and Huron streets, where he checked out possible locations, including the former Goldome Bank.

Reeves and his technical crew later explored the vault on the former Marine Midland Trust banking floor in the Main Seneca Building, observers reported.

Others noted that he also seemed interested in Metro Rail’s aboveground tracks in front of Theater Place.

At one point, he laid down in the street for a lighting check.

As has been their habit, Reeves and his crew stopped in for coffee at the Starbucks at Delaware Avenue and Chippewa Street on Friday afternoon before leaving for the airport in a large black van.

Though some might not have recognized him without the Grizzly Adams beard, which he may have ditched for an appearance this week on a television talk show in New York City, Reeves still sported the unruly shoulder-length black hair he had on both previous Western New York forays.

“Henry’s Crime” has been described as a “Capraesque” romantic comedy in which Reeves “will play a bighearted man who is falsely accused of robbing a bank in Buffalo.”

Reeves also will produce the film, and will have James Caan and Vera Farmiga as his co-stars.

Production of the movie is set to begin Nov. 30 in New York City and its suburbs before moving to Buffalo in December.

All filming is due to be wrapped up before Christmas, sources say.
