I don’t know whether or not this would be a question for GQ, or SDMB in general, but I can’t for the life of me think of who is in this avatar/picture, and it’s driving me crazy.

Any ideas? I can’t see it being just some random joe. The guy who has this avatar goes on racist diatribes that would make a skinhead shudder, so I’m thinking it has to be some David Lane-type guy.
Thanks in advance.

You’re very welcome. I have no clue why or how I knew that though. I’ve never seen the show and I’m not aware of having seen anything else with him in it. It’s no wonder I always forget important things like taking my license out of my pants before washing them when my brain is filled identities of actors in shows I’ve never seen.

He’s the dad in _Malcolm in the Middle_, and Ted’s boss in a few episodes of _How I Met Your Mother_.

Bryan Cranston is also well-known for playing the dentist Tim Whatley on “Seinfeld.” Thanks for the link to my humble blog site [http://TVHowl.com](http://TVHowl.com).
Best to all,

Must know him from Malcolm in the Middle. I saw the pilot of that. Never watch How I Met Your Mother or Seinfeld.
