Hey, It's...Umm...That Guy

A Hollywood career doesn't always have to be full of glitz and glamour at a young age, followed by an unseemly decline and a series of addictions that are only marginally easier to tolerate than the terrible movies you're making. No, some actors are just guys who put in their time, taking bit roles like clockwork, never known by name, and happy to have steady work. They are Those Guys, and here's a list of the 20 best.

It's That Guy Joaquim De Almeida

"That Guy" is a B-list character actor who's just talented enough to secure bit parts in a handful of movies every year, but not quite good looking enough to become a brand-name star. Some specialize in playing villains and others in having freaky-enormous chest tattoos, but combined, these brave, barely handsome men have appeared in every single movie produced in the last decade.
