A tribute to character actors everywhere, from J.K. Simmons (J. Jonah Jameson in the Spiderman movies) and Danny Trejo (Grindhouse's Machete) to virtually every thespian that's guest-starred on any of the Law and Order franchises. I brought this book to Christmas dinner and everyone in the family got a kick out of it.

If you've ever watched a movie and thought "I recognize that guy..", you probably have. This book takes a number of 'that guys (and gals)', provides a picture and a brief description. I had a number of Aha! moments reading this book, and the snark factor made it even better!

In honor of my Halloween costume ("some guy"), I'd like to shout out all those "Hey! It's That Guy!"s out there. Tara Ariano and Adam Sternbergh are geniuses! This is a field guide to those actors you recognize and can't quite place. I'd love a sequel to this one!

Humorous and invaluable guide to naming ubiquitous but anonymous character actors. Somewhat dated, though, as listings like Phillip Seymour Hoffman have long ago graduated from "that guy!" status.
