I saw a character actor at the airport

I had arrived back in Atlanta from my long Thanksgiving weekend in Arizona. The gate area was insanely busy, surrounded by hundreds of people I was just trying to make my way to baggage claim and that's when I saw him, a well recognized character actor from television and film.

He looked at me just as I looked at him and gave me a look of "No, don't approach me, it's not worth your time." With a small smile I kept walking.

The problem with this story is that I can't think of this man's name (I never knew it) or what shows/movies he's been in. I want to say Sex and the City or a guest appearance as a rich murder suspect on Law and Order.

He looks like a poor man's Richard Gere. He's in his early 50's. Gray hair, six feet tall. He often plays corporate assholes, the worried dad or lawyer.

I think he's a lawyer on a current Drama.

If anybody out there has any idea how I'm talking about, I would greatly appreciate your assistance or thoughts.

This man is not bearded.

Let me get out my Guess Who board game - Character Actors Edition. Does he have glasses? Is he bald?

Character actors: who cares if we're fat?
