If you have to ask it's probably you.

Edit: Misunderstood the post, I thought this was about the annoying "that guy" that seems to occur in every large group of people.

The perennial problem of the character actor that everyone knows but no one can name:

http://www.460xvr.com/tg/not.htm

Ronny Cox
James Cromwell
Michael Ironside
Clancy Brown
Curtis Armstrong
Dan Hedaya
Sam Elliott
Matt Frewer

All actors i can name and recognize.. never once have i said "oh that guy" to any of their roles.

Hell.. i can always recognize Clancy Brown's voice (Lex Luger on most of the DCAU cartoons).

Only one of those I know well enough to name is James Cromwell the others I only know by face or not at all.

Gary Oldman is not on that list of character actors...although I guess I can name him, so maybe he doesn't fit?

i know a few of those by name, mostly because they were a main character in something i liked, e.g. giovanni ribisi in boiler room. but a majority of them are not recognizable at all.
