A U.S. military veteran made famous by his portrayal in the movie “Good Morning Vietnam” is accused by a consumer group of preying on financially troubled homeowners seeking to lower their mortgage payments.

Adrian Cronauer, the former wartime disc jockey who was played by Robin Williams in the 1987 film, is now a lawyer in Washington. His firm improperly sought thousands of dollars in up-front fees in exchange for helping borrowers negotiate better mortgage terms, according to two complaints filed by the The National Community Reinvestment Coalition, a Washington-based fair-credit watchdog.
