    Every time I see a picture of him, I think that I have seen a similar-looking character in a movie at some point in the past, but nothing comes to mind.

        Huh.

        I don’t think that it’s Austin Powers that’s triggering it, though, yeah, he does have mutton chops and a lot of hair, there’s some similarity there.

        The only thing I’ve come up with before was Gene Wilder in Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, but while that’s also similar in some ways, I still don’t think that what I’m dredging out of memory either.

        Some British movie.

          Yeah you’re not wrong, he’s not as absurd as Austin powers. But he definitely looks like a time traveler from the 70s. I have another actor in mind, can see his face, but also can’t quite pull the name or movie up. But a British guy with sideburns and similar haircut. One of those staple actors of the 50s-70s that my parents would know, but was likely dead before I was born haha.
