I'm Sitting next to someone famous on a plane (1 Viewer)

[Abraham]

And can't figure out who it is.  White, 50's, "that guy" who is immediately recognizable and totally unplaceable.  

Sandy hair grown out and parted like Don Henley used to have.  Guy kind of looks like Henley (end of the innocence era) too  

I think he has played the President at some point. Or at least a politician. 

Lives in LA.

Turn flash off your phone and turn off sound. Put phone on edge and snap photo. 

Or play that guy who was never flown before and take couple pictures out the window with him in them.

It's going to come to me.  I am now certain he played the president at some point.

[Aerial Assault]

This guy, perhaps. 

 

[McGarnicle]

Gene Hackman?

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Just hit him with a "first off, how are you?" If he's a celebrity, he'll know. 

 

[Evilgrin 72]

If it's really him, scream out "BARF!"

 

[Sconch]

Clyde the Janitor

 

[Abraham]

This guy, perhaps. 

That might be him. Damn. That's really really close. 

 

[Aerial Assault]

I thought perhaps.  He played the president in a really awful NBC series called "Crisis" about two years ago.  He was good - very solid actor - but the rest of the show was awful, with just blitheringly stupid writing.  Rachael Taylor, that gorgeous blonde Aussie hottie who played Jessica Jones' best friend Trish (I'm trying to relate to what people here might have seen) was the female lead as an FBI agent.  Also, the guy I linked was in 24 for part of a season as the president's chief of staff. 

 

[Gr00vus]

William Sadler?

According to IMDB he plays "President Ellis" in that Marvel Agents of Shield show.

 

[Willie Neslon]

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0339304/

 

[Aerial Assault]

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0339304/

Probably my next guess except I don't think he looks like Don Henley. 

 

[Abraham]

We are doing a great job compiling people that look like this guy, that's for sure.

 

[jhib]

Definitely Mark Cuban

 

[Philo]

Nathan Fillion

Bruce Boxleitner 

Peter Coyote 

Eric Roberts

Whoever, we're working with a very loose definition of the word "famous" here

 

[Abraham]

We are getting close.  And when I finally figure it out you guys will say, "OH, THAT GUY!"

 

[Philo]

BTW if it was Robert Patrick you'd know right away. Guy doesn't act, he's like that all the time. 

 

[Gopher State]

And can't figure out who it is.  White, 50's, "that guy" who is immediately recognizable and totally unplaceable.  

Sandy hair grown out and parted like Don Henley used to have.  Guy kind of looks like Henley (end of the innocence era) too  

I think he has played the President at some point. Or at least a politician. 

Lives in LA. 

G W Bush

 

[dparker713]

Bill Pullman?
