    I was playing yesterday and got to a part where this guy was in one of the newspaper articles.

    He was in Lost playing one of the Dharma workers (recurring role) and he played a smallish role in Mulholland Dr., one of my favorite movies. 
     
    There are bound to be more, but I haven't seen any yet. I thought Kowalski's actor looked very familiar though.

    My dad recognized some old dude who was sitting in a bar and had literally one line. It was a case of, "Hey, I've seen that guy before."

    There was one guy I recognized as "that one guy who's in stuff" who showed up briefly at several points throughout the game. Kind of dopy looking bald dude. Played a drunk person claiming to be an old school friend in an early traffic case and an owner of a store that was getting robbed in a street crime mission. Anyone know who I'm talking about?

    @Slaker117: I know you're talking about but he doesn't have a name in the game, and I don't know his real name.

    As soon as I saw Gloria Bishop I said "That is Carla Gallo" and I was right.
     
     
    Then when I talked to the one cop during the last Vice case, I said "That sounds like motherfuckin Garrus" and I was right.

    @Agent47: Damn. Well at least I know I'm not alone in recognizing but not knowing that dude. Can you remember anything else that he was in? I feel like I've seen him a lot but can't pull a specific movie or show.

    @Slaker117: If it's the same guy I think you're talking about, his name is Bob Clendenin . There was a post from someone a couple days ago thinking he looked like Harland Williams.

    Am I the only one who can't stand seeing this man? I don't know if it's because he plays a sleeze ball in everything but he just looks like a douche :p

    Oh man, that would've been soooo good. The actual guy is ok but this would've been awesome.
