He was also in Back to the Future III. He ran the shooting gallery. I met him once. Nice guy. He was a city of Dallas firefighter before he got into acting.

Even disregarding the Tom Cruise post, some of y'all are not that good at this.

My input: Bruce McGill. First celebrity I ever saw in a random public setting. Downtown Austin P.F. Chang's for a friend's birthday party years ago.

Animal House


My Cousin Vinny


Cinderella Man


The Legend of Bagger Vance


Law Abiding Citizen


And many more appearances that always make me think, "Hey, look, it's that guy."

Already posted. Definitely a candidate.

Cromwell was great as Capt. Dudley Smith in L.A. Confidential. That's all I got.

Ned Beaty wasn't just "that guy." He was "that guy I would never want to be" in one infamous film.

I would argue that these guys don't fit the OP requirements. They were recognizable enough to be well known B-list actors who didn't get cast primarily in bit roles.

I just meant that listing a name and no pics is lazy and not helpful for us to ID 'that guy'

Though he's gotten a few bigger roles over the years, Richard Jenkins.

Gary Cole as well.

Yeah, he may be a "that guy", but to millions of Gen Xers he is "that guy from MacGyver".

So, is he still a typical "that guy"?
