That Guy

The Sports Guy is the one that came with the "That Guy" meme re; movies; for example, he lists over a dozen as being in Billy Crystal's fantastic *61. In flipping around right now (thanks, snow!), I'd say that Thirteen Days is also chockful of guys in the the That Guy Hall of Fame.

As a side note yes, I still have a problem with the movie:
Costner's accent. For fuck's sake...in this flick he's playing Kennedy adviser Kenny O'Donnell. Kenny O'Donnell...does anyone have any idea how Kenny O'Donnell talked in real life? Is his speech pattern/accent Cosell-esque; ie ingrained in us so much that an actor would have to try to imitate it? Anyone whipping out their Ken O'Donnell imitations at dinner parties? For fuck's sake Kevin you're not playing one of the Kennedys; I can fucking promise you there's not a single person watching the movie that is thinking "hey, waaaaaaaiit a minute...THAT'S not how Kenny O'Donnell talked! This is bullshit!!"

Could've just talked normally, nobody would've cared.
