Oh, That Guy!


XANDER BERKELEY


This guy's been around forever and it's just not possible that you haven't seen him in something. In addition to his prominent film roles below, he has also guest-starred on every TV show from "Moonlighting," "Cagney & Lacey," and "Miami Vice," to the more recent "Bones," "Boston Legal," and "Jericho." He has a rather commanding presence (he's fairly tall and broad) but there's something about his countenance that doesn't inspire trust, so you usually find him playing bad guys, double-crossers, weirdos, characters meant to make you suspicious, and the occasional sleazy douche. But he's a pretty terrific actor and definitely one of the most prominent and consistently working "Hey, it's that Guy[s]!"
