Correct and correct; the second was Fred Thompson, on _Law & Order_ and _In the Line of Fire_. DQ: Best known as a lead actor?

I was thinking “My Cousin Vinny” and “Independance Day”, but there’s two problems with that: 1. he wasn’t the DA in My Cousin Vinny, he was the “expert witness” 2. His name is James Rebhorn, who ain’t got “T” as an initial. ---
