If you’re looking for “That Guy,” and you have the time, just scroll through The West Wing’s IMDB listing. Wow, _everyone_ was on that show at one time or another. I’m pretty sure that’s who I was thinking of too, in his 80s/90s incarnation – scroll down in: [http://www.aveleyman.com/FilmCredit.aspx?FilmID=14859](http://www.aveleyman.com/FilmCredit.aspx?FilmID=14859) or [http://rabat.liquidweb.com/grablab/jblb/jblnix.html](http://rabat.liquidweb.com/grablab/jblb/jblnix.html) He is pretty Siskelly there. ---

Yeah, I can definitely see a resemblance to Siskel. ---

Yes, that’s _precisely_ the incarnation I was picturing in my head. Told you I wasn’t good at estimating ages. 🙂 Thanks, everyone! ---
