Who IS That Guy?
Posted by mike on January 8th, 2009
You know you do it. Everyone does. You’re watching a movie with your S-O (significant other) or friend and it starts driving you nuts! You’re racking your brain… it’s on the tip of your tongue… Finally, you can’t stand it! So you break down, hit the pause button (or whisper obnoxiously) and ask the obvious question: “Who IS that guy?! Isn’t he the dude that was in that one movie with [insert famous actor/actress name here]? You know, the one where they blew up the bank and then had that high-speed chase down the Interstate during rush hour so they could visit the little boy with cancer before the aliens and Russians blew up the planet?”
Well, ponder no more! Today I introduce you to Cracked.com’s Top 20 Best “That Guys” of all time! Cracked defines a “That Guy” as a “B-list character actor who’s just talented enough to secure bit parts in a handful of movies every year, but not quite good looking enough to become a brand-name star. Some specialize in playing villains and others in having freaky-enormous chest tattoos, but combined, these brave, barely handsome men have appeared in every single movie produced in the last decade.”
So check out the link above. I know within 20 seconds you’ll say “Oh yeah!! I’ve seen him in several movies!!” Unfortunately, 20 seconds after you close the link, you’ll forget every last one of their names. But they don’t mind… being a “That Guy” pays pretty well, I imagine. Enjoy! =)
