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.

It's not a big list I'll give you that but there are a number on there that I've often wondered at.

Yeah, then I would have probably avoided making myself 'that guy'

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.
