I can't for the life of me remember (idk if I ever knew) this actors name... At a bar I saw someone that looked just like him and now am stuck in limbo forever!so he was in a bunch of movies in the early nineties... always played like an angry dad or maybe a principal, kind of chubby (gullet) he wasn't a comedian but I feel like he was in mostly comedy drama's... like john ritter, dan akroyd(he could play dan akroyd's brother) he's got a distinct voice maybe stubble, he was probably 45 in the early nineties, but once again I have no clue where to start! THANK YOU

Could this be the man your thinking of? He appeared in many films back then.

Here is a list with some names on it. You can see if any ring a bell.

He is of lesser known stardom maybe if the list was of the top 100 actors of the eighties and nineties

AHHHHHHHHH!! He has salt and pepper hair but darker when he was young. I feel so stupid for not being able to come up with a movie. I keep picturing him as a disappointed dad who's son plays football or something? Good guesss though 'hellopeople'.
