And if so, any idea what show it was from? Video should start at 49 second mark, where the actor in question is

What in the hell did I just watch?

Edit: I just looked up Convergence Station and saw that it is a Meow Wolf installation. I saw the Meow Wolf in Santa Fe and would recommend it to everybody. This ad is perfect! 😊

Resembles Rudolph Anders - of _She Demons_ infamy - but I don’t think it’s him, either.

Norman Fell died in 1998. Meow Wolf was founded in 2008. Convergence Station opened last week. Why would they dig up a _random_ 2-second clip of an actor who died 23 years ago?

Because it was a clip that had the basic scene they wanted that they could overlay the weird thing easily. You can tell from the quality of the video there it’s probably from the 50s or early 60s.

Here’s a pic of Norman Fell, I don’t see why it’s absolutely not him:

Norman Fell in 1961. It just isn’t the same face. Or hair, from what I can see.
