So THIS is what happens when you post a pic on the internet? (Destiny)

Chickens looked up a picture of you on HBO, and I went "OH YEAH!" I'm entirely impressed with your memory, sir.

I'm really good with faces, horrible with names.

Random Story: My wife and I were in Austin for new year's eve 2014. I see a guy at the Hotel bar that I've sworn I've seen before. I ask my wife if she recognizes him, and she doesn't. It drives me crazy that i know him, but can't place him. Next morning, when we are checking out of the hotel, i see him again in the lobby. Then it dons on me that he might be an actor. My wife says "go ask him if he's an actor." I don't though b/c it's a holiday, and what am i going to say "hey, are you an actor?" So i let it go.

Fast forward 7 months to June 2015. All the movie channels are showing marvel movies non stop in anticipation for Ant-Man, and I'm just sitting there watching the first Avengers, when i see the guy in the ball cap and blue jacket here at 29 Seconds:

I rewind it and say holy @&$#!. My wife is like "what!?" I tell her "That's the guy from the hotel at New Years. She said "you recognized a person from ten seconds in a movie?"

So i look on IMDB and they actually had him listed as "Celebration Montage Interviewee." His name is Jamie McShane, and he's a career extra that's been on 24, Law and Order, Criminal Minds, CSI, CSI Miami, Castle, etc. So i had probably seen him multiple times, but it was while watching the Avengers that i was able to place him.
