> [@Loach](#): > > Can’t really find any young pictures of him. He didn’t start acting until his 40s and didn’t get on screen till after he was 50. This [picture](http://28.media.tumblr.com/ALfr10hNBov2piaqR8CZjRhlo1_500.jpg) is supposedly Vigoda when he was young. But I’m seeing some claims that it’s actually a recent photo of somebody else who just looks like a younger Vigoda. ---

That’s an actor who is a contemporary of Bradley Cooper, Paul Rudd, and Ben Affleck. I can’t think of his name, though. ---

A search of the thread seems to show **RivkahChayah** , **Clothahump** , **honey** , **Sami41** and **GIGOBuster**. If that is right, it would pop 4 cherries and move **Sami41** into a tie for 8th with **notfrommensa**. ---

If that is right, it would pop 4 cherries and move **Sami41** into a tie for 8th with **notfrommensa**. OK, you’re right - I’d somehow missed **Clothahump** on my first search of the thread.
