I just got back from Vancouver, BC. The hotel I stayed at is appearantly where alot of famous actors frequent. During my stay there, I rode the elevator down with a famous actor I had seen in dozens of movies but I don't know his name and I can't recall which movies I've seen him in. After that, the second one I saw was standing behind me next in line for a taxi. I've seen him in dozens of movies but can place him either. It's driving me crazy! So I'm hoping that by giving you some descriptions, you can post some pics in this thread on who you think they might be to help me out!

The first actor from the elevator was about 6' tall and slender. Short Blond hair, blond eyebrows and blue eyes. Kind of romulan looking and has very distinctive sharp eyes. Usually plays the bad guy type, the henchman type or the assasin type. Usually a supporting actor. He was wearing all black and it seems that I see him mostly wearing black in movies. It was not Gary Busey or Nick Nolte but similar. Possibly in his early 40's.

The second actor from the taxi line was older, probably late 40's early 50's. About 5'10" tall, slender, dark brown hair with some graying and blue eyes. Usually plays the father figure or the good guy family roles. Sometimes wears glasses. It's not Michael Douglas but similar.
EDIT: Ok, I've identified this one. It was Tim Matheson! http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001513/

Still need help with the first one though!

I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. ~Hal-9000

How did you enjoy the city, and did you check out the EA buildings?

The first actor---- is it Jake Busey, Gary Busey's son?



Second actor--- no idea, sorry.

Yea, I really like Vancouver. I went to EAX and EAC. The EAC building is... incredible! I was taken on a tour and I was like "Wow!" the whole time.

Nope, wasnt Jake Busey. Very similar but more slender.

Yah that's the building I work at, technically in the second addition that was recently built (Phase II). If I would have known you were there I would have said hi

For the first actor, are you thinking of Bruce Dern?

Ok now I'm having a recollection of this guy in a recent war themed movie. I can picture him in desert cammy fatigues and I beleive he was an officer. Cant recall the movie though. Arg!

Hmmm, never seen him before, which is why I would never have guessed!
