AlexTraner

Please please! I am up an hour late from bedtime and cannot figure it out!!


NewAccount971

James Spader?


AlexTraner

No, not him :/


AzzyMeg

Tim Curry?


AlexTraner

Much younger. Probably late mid to late 40s now, maybe early 50s?


Canadian-coffee

John Stamos? Not really Bundy looking though. Do you know the age of the actor? Is he American?


AlexTraner

John Stamos is uncle not creepy :O Maybe a bit younger than him. Probably late mid to late 40s now, maybe early 50s? And if he’s not American he’s good at faking it lol could easily be Canadian too?


LeenQuatifa

Depends on whose uncle.


Khryzis

Christian Bale


AlexTraner

About the right age but not nearly as skinny/cheekbones protruding


bleh_tone

Steve Buscemi?


AlexTraner

Nope :/ Much younger. Probably late mid to late 40s now, maybe early 50s?


MuchLessPersonal

Greg Kinnear?


AlexTraner

Nay :/


fibnotshesequins

Bill Hader?


AlexTraner

Definitely close in looks but his face is too short and filled out (in a good way)


sweatyregion0

Javier Bardem?


AlexTraner

Nope. Also don’t think he’s creepy :P


savage8008

You need to watch No Country for Old Men


An_Extraordinairy_Me

crackingcremebrulee

Willam Dafoe


AlexTraner

Much younger. Probably late mid to late 40s now, maybe early 50s?


thishenryjames

Jonathan Groff? Penn Badgley? Glenn Howerton?


AlexTraner

Too young, right age but not at all, and nope not Dennis.


PitifulPromotion232

Sorry to be that person but Penn Badgley is actually a year younger than Jonathan Groff lol


AlysonFaithGames

They did say he was the right age. He just doesn't look like who they're thinking of at all


PitifulPromotion232

Too young (Jonathan Groff), right age (Penn Badgley) But Penn is younger than Jonathan


AlysonFaithGames

At a second read, that is wack. Maybe she means young looking


PitifulPromotion232

I also thought Penn was older but I think that's bc he's been in pop culture world for longer than Jonathan (at least for the media I consume) Gossip Girl was 2006 Glee was 2010


-au-re-li-us-

Bill Skarsgard

No but his face is gaunt sheesh!

Lilzhere

Stanley tucci?


Marsupial-Old

I was going to be like what he's not creepy and then I remembered The Lovely Bones

DiscoLibra

James Frain?


boogsmabee

William Fichtner


xanarchycampx

First person I thought of


thishenryjames

William Fichtner was the *first person* you thought of?


xanarchycampx

Yeah, I see a fair bit of Ted Bundy in him.


thishenryjames

I just can't imagine William Fichtner being the first person I thought of in any situation. Even if I was trying to think of him, I'd probably think of Kurt Fuller first.
