Here's what I know.....

He was most recently on an episode of Psych where he played 1 of 2 thugs and there was a fight scene at the dock between this guy & Shawn and/or Gus (I can't totally remember)

He was also on X-files waaaay back in the day.

Most telling is that I kind of say he looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the face but as my name for him goes (steroid face) I think this picture of Dorian Yates is about as close I can find on the internet to help show what he looks like......

It was actually for reference on another forum about steroid use/abuse. I've always found similar features in many steroid users. (portruding facial features contrasted with sunken features as well, creating a look that just *screams* steroids to me)

Not really true..

I'd say the majority of people who are on AAS tend to have more of a bloated face even when they're lean. Steroids tends to do that. Especially the longer ester variety.

The sunken face thing could be diuretics, dieting and genetics.

Yes, sometimes they bloat under the chin. (others don't) But my eyes take notice to a common theme for those (allegedly) accused of taking steroids. ;)

It was actually super easy to find his name. I knew exactly who you were talking about when you said the guy from the X-Files (though I don't know about the steroid thing). I just googled X-Files shapeshifter, took a couple of links.

Yes, you're right....."Shapeshifter"!!!! (Couldn't remember)

IMDB actually doesn't credit him with with Psych but he was definitely on it in one of the later seasons.

Just one of those actors you never think of and shows up as very much a D-list player but rather unforgettable.

And on the X-files front, kinda funny he did an episode of NCIS which had tons of play on X-files, even down to the episode title....."The Truth Is Out There'. :)

Definitely. For some reason, I think of a lot of these D-list actors as people I've seen in all sorts of films, but then I check their IMDB and they were only in 1-2 things I've seen, they just have presence.

Brian Thompson is a guy I thought would have been in more. He is very recognizable (other than his name :p), to me at least.
