Who is the cop in [this commercial](http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7ThO/chevrolet-cruze-gas-station)? The link names some of the actors, but not him. I am positive I’ve seen this guy at least in other commercials, if not some bit part in a TV show or movie. Can someone figure this out? It’s been bugging me for a week. ---

I can’t find the name, but he looks a bit like the cop in the first two _Die Hard_ movies. ---

Is it the “[I like tacos](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoMkJ87uMBU)” guy? They don’t _quite_ look the same to me, but someone else was asking the same question as you and this is what was suggested. As for the “I like tacos” guy’s name, I couldn’t come up with that. ---

He’s also the cop in Ghostbusters that takes them to the mayor. ---

He’s also like 40 years older than the guy in the commercial.
