Joe Pantoliano? He played the sleaze in Memento and The Matrix.

Long long history as a sleaze going back to at least the early 80s in Risky Business.

Try here at Hey, It’s That Guy at fametracker.com. At least you’ll have fun searching.

[Mithril]

Thanks for all the guesses! Taylor Negron is the closest to the guy I am thinking of, in terms of swarthiness, level of fame, and the level of movies he does.

I’ll check out Fame Tracker. Thanks!

Rory Calhoun?

Well Matt Dillon was in Gunsmoke so Rory Calhoun could be close.

Aha! Maybe you’re thinking of Miguel Ferrer!

Even longer ago than that as he played a GI on MASH who stole another GI’s dog tags and travel orders so he could go home rather than back to the front.

I just went through the whole Fame Tracker site, but didn’t see my “Hey, It’s That Guy”.

When I followed the link to Miguel Ferrar, I thought that I had stumbled upon the police chief from The Closer. But he’s not.

Thanks for teh guesses so far.

[Ethilrist]

Jeff Goldblum?

[medstar]

Walton Goggins? He’s Boyd on Justified.

@Enginerd

Rick Hoffman?

Oh, my sweet Jebus! Thank you! His face came to mind while I was reading this thread, but I didn’t know his name, and couldn’t remember what he’d been in, and suddenly, I was in the same position as the OP. We could have gotten stuck in a recursive That Guy loop.

So there you go, Mithril. You’re thinking of Rick Hoffman, and you probably remember him from The Bernie Mac Show.

[Tim_R.Mortiss]

Cliff Curtis? He’s plenty swarthy.

Happy to help! I was in the same boat, so I just spent an hour or so trying to figure out his name - I finally found him through the Bernie Mac show. The photo on his IMDB page is NO help at all.

William Fichtner?

@Enginerd

Peter Jacobson?

Rick Hoffman?

Rick Hoffman it is! Thank you so much! I was starting to think that I was crazy for rembering this guy so vividly! But, I never saw the Bernie Mac show in my life…so why do I picture him when I think smarmy and nasty?

Thanks, everyone, for your guesses! I can sleep tonight.
