A "Hey it's that guy" moment

Yes. They left the pilot with the plane and left for help in the middle of the wintery night forest - fortunately they found an empty cabin and broke in (only in the morning did they realize it was a resort cabin - only a few hundred feet from the lobby) (all from memory - errors possible).

My “heh it’s that guy” is John Saxon; ubiquitous mainly in the 70’s, he popped up everywhere, doing yeoman’s work in over 200 films. (Enter the Dragon, Black Christmas, don’t get me started)

This funny guy is always surprising me, materializing everywhere:

As a kid in the 70s and 80s that guy was this guy.

This guy again as (what else?) the tax collector in Frank Capra’s You Can’t Take It With You (1938).

This guy is in the movie too, as the secretary to Jimmy Stewart’s father. Blink and you’ll miss him!

Charles Lane was always trying to get Sheriff Taylor to evict people or shut down their businesses or stuff like that.

Yep, he was Central Casting’s perennial asshole.

William Schallert (“Nils Barris” in ST: TOS’s “The Trouble with Tribbles”) as “Reverend Kirk” (!) in the Dick van Dyke episode “A Word a Day” (1962). The baby expert Dr Spock is mentioned in this episode as well.

Leah (aka Lia) Waggner, Schallert’s wife IRL, was in this episode as “Mrs Kirk.” She also appeared opposite him in two episodes of The Patty Duke Show , where he was Patty’s father (along with his uncle and twin brother).

Recognize this guy? He was a courtroom bailiff in today’s epiosde of Dick van Dyke, which also featured the scrumptious Sue Ane Langdon.

Sneeze and you’ll miss him!

A man came up to me and said, “Doodles, your hair’s getting thin.” I said, “Well, who wants fat hair?”

THAT’S A KILLER!

In other words, yes, I do recognize him!

After all, how many people could say they teamed up with Art Carney against Burt Ward?

Brother of television pioneer Pat Weaver, and more importantly, uncle of Sigourney.

As much as I liked Dr. Demento, Weaver’s rendition of, “Eleanor Rigby,” is just awful.

He’s also the guy who walks out of the hardware store and tells Sid Caesar and Edie Adams “We’re closed!” in It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Again, sneeze and you’ll miss him!

“That’ll teach him not to litter!” :angry:

Always remembered this fine turn he did here:

Another 70’s stalwart:

Peterson’s a twerp!

^ And Carlin couldn’t stand him.

Eric Roberts FTW?

It’s kinda funny: the best moment of True Grit is when Fiedler shows up as Lawyer Daggett and walks off with the picture.

I liked Stephen Tobolowsky in Sneakers and I love the fact that he randomly pops up everywhere as a variation on that same basic guy. He’s the guy who inspired me to start noticing that kind of actor.

How cool would it be to have a job that’s like “hey, we need you to be yourself again”, but it isn’t high-profile enough to turn your whole life on its head.

This babe, probably best known for washing the car in Cool Hand Luke, was in yesterday’s episode of That Girl:

So was this guy, who got around a lot in the '60s:

This guy also got around in the '60s. He was in Monday’s episode of Dick van Dyke as an old friend of Sally Rogers:

I remember him as the NASA official who orders the lost space capsule in Gilligan’s Island to be blown up.
