This is a picture of a fairly well known actor in his new movie. Who do you think the actor is? Does he seem recognizable to you?

*I know the answer via external means. I don't think I would have been able to tell otherwise. If you know the answer from some other exposure to this picture/topic please don't ruin the guessing game for others.

<edit>Now that the answer has been revealed, I'll post a spoiler here, to let everyone know that they should guess before they read the rest of the thread.</edit>

The guy from The Fugitive, and Men in Black. Tommy Lee Jones?

I didn't look at the picture, as you so much as say that this actor is not recognizable, so it's just my intuition that says it must be Rutger Hauer [Big Grin]

Well, the eyes and face do look familiar. But I can't put a name to it without looking it up..

looks sorta like an older antonio banderes
 
Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :
 
I know it, but I already saw at IMDB. [Big Grin]

Eyes and nose of Tommy Lee Jones, mouth of John Malkovich. However, given the proper angle, lighting and makeup (including wig! [Smile] ), these two men would look very similar to me, so I could make a case either way.

Not a darn clue.

((And...ew. I got an ad for WoW gold on this page. Is no forum sacred?))

If that is Rutger Hauer, I will, um, something.

I'm guessing, wossname, Kevin Kline.
 
Posted by Stephan (Member # 7549) on :
 
Looks like Sam Neil to me.
 
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
 
I'm guessing Dennis Hopper. I put my fingers over his hair on the screen, and it looks like him.
 
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
 
I could see a case for Kevin Kline, too, especially with some aging makeup. But I seem to remember Kline as having a more pointy (?) nose (more sharp -- always reminded me of a male version of Julia Roberts' nose). Brow seems different, too, but maybe just that he's furrowing it in a broody way.

Duuno. Looks like a lot of actors Of A Certain Age, I guess. *smile

Handsome fella, regardless.

could also be Richard Dean Anderson.
 
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
 
I could also second the Tommy Lee Jones guess, too. Or Richard Dean Anderson. Hm.. I just don't know.

Edit: Okay, I just cheated. No way in heck I'd ever have guessed it.
 
Posted by Human (Member # 2985) on :
 
Yeah, now that you say Richard Dean Anderson, I see that a lot more in that guy's face. But he'd have to be wearing some sort of prosthetics, because the lines of his face are radically different...
 
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
 
Wow, Jackie Chan's makeup job looks AMAZING!
 
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
 
Could you say how you cheated? Cause I can't guess, and I'd like to know the answer. [Big Grin]
 
Posted by Ecthalion (Member # 8825) on :
 
jacki chan?

nah its definately morgan freeman
 
Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :
 
All is revealed at imdb.com. But only go there to spoil the fun. [Wink]
 
Posted by Human (Member # 2985) on :
 
Yes, but what movie is it from?
 
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
 
I'm not spoiling the fun for anyone else, just for myself...and not even really that, since I don't enjoy guessing games. And I couldn't have found it at imdb.com if I hadn't traced it back from the original site that the photo is on. [Big Grin]
 
Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :
 
I would guess Robert Downey Jr based on the round eyes and the eyebrows. He's getting older, ja? And there's definitely a lot of Old makeups going on in that picture.

edit: woah, five posts snuck in there while I was typing O_o
 
Posted by vwiggin (Member # 926) on :
 
I'm going to guess Mel Gibson, though I think Kevin Klein is a better guess, but I didn't think of that until I read this thread. [Smile]

It's actually at the home page. Just FYI so people don't accidentally spoil themselves.
 
Posted by Ecthalion (Member # 8825) on :
 
yea... i wouldnt have guessed that. Mainly because i am not too sure who he is.
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
Ok, finally figured out where on the IMDB page to look. I see it now (especially around the eyes), but would NEVER have guessed.

I did think those who were saying RDA were a bit touched, though. [Wink]
 
Posted by Baron Samedi (Member # 9175) on :
 
It's Ed Harris. How does no one here know that?
 
Posted by Occasional (Member # 5860) on :
 
I would guess that French guy, Depardu.
 
Posted by Occasional (Member # 5860) on :
 
No, I change my vote. Its Don Johnson.
 
Posted by Human (Member # 2985) on :
 
Baron! Spoiler! You ruined the game, dude!
 
Posted by vwiggin (Member # 926) on :
 
Actually, it is not a spoiler if no one points it out as such. [Wink]
 
Posted by Uprooted (Member # 8353) on :
 
Wow. I'd never have guessed--and I tried! Even looking back and forth at two photos and comparing features I'm having a hard time processing it.
 
Posted by Nighthawk (Member # 4176) on :
 
I'm going to guess Gillian Anderson or Halle Berry.

What? Why are you looking at me like that?
 
Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
 
I confess.

It's me.

Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
 
If they hadnt touched his eye brows I would have been able to figure it out.

Really good job with changing his appearance!

Liam Neeson?

No, Liam Neeson is to young.
