Have you ever been watching TV or a movie and pointed to the screen and said, "Hey! It's That Guy!"? Well, here is where you'll find him. This page is dedicated to the character actors collectively known as "That Guy".

That Guy is easy to recognize and difficult to place. You can describe him but not name him.

If someone asks, "Do you know the old grubby guy with a big belly and wild white hair that always wears a beat up brown derby and plays a drunk in westerns?" You'll know exactly who they mean, but you'll have no idea that his name is Dub Taylor.

Good stuff, Killer. I know practically every face in the list, but couldn't put a name to many of them.

I think William Smith was in just about every single '80s show I watched....

Killer V,
Thanks for posting this. A lot of great actors like William Smith who always played tough guys (Falconetti on Rich Man, Poor Man). He was in that terrible but good Joe Namath/Ann-Margeret biker movie. Last big role was as a cop on Hawaii 5-0's last season. I saw him in person a few years back at some memorbilia show in St. Charles.

One guy on there,(I think he still acts,now in his 80's) was William Shallert. I see him,I think Patty Dukes father. That guy looked the same from the 60's into the early 90's before he started to age.

More like "who's that white guy?" It did have generic Asian bad guy on it though, so that's cool.

I didn't realize that James Cromwell qualified as "that guy"...

That's the first thought you had after looking at the list?
