This guy could literally be any one of a hundred character actors.

I’ve seen him in a lot of movies.....................
Would you have recognized him if you met him on the street?
Enjoyed his work. He was actually encouraged by a Congressman (Dan Flood of PA) to go into acting. Good advice. RIP, Mr. Karen.
Absolutely. He was one of those guys who I saw on seemingly on every major TV show in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and yet I didn’t know his name.
He was “Mr. Pathmark” in the northeast for most of my life. Now both are gone.
The “We’re Not going to take it anymore!” guy????
Their here!
They’re here! Sorry
Yup. “Mr Pathmark “.
Never mind....Was thinking of Peter Finch. They look a lot alike!
I watched Wall Street for the umpteenth time yesterday. James was “Mr. Lynch”, Bud Fox’s boss at “Jackson Steinem”. A very fine actor. R.I.P.
“It’s not ancient tribal burial ground, it’s just people.”
Mr Pathmark
