First guess was someone who played an agent type in the first two seasons. Was also thinking a bit of Wings Hauser.
I then got to his character but couldn't remember his name. He doesn't have a wiki page or a known birthplace. His first wiki search result is a movie with Cooper Huckabee.
I sometimes wonder about what it was like to play 80s, as Hannibal Smith would say, sleazeballs as your type. It's acting, it's a cool job, and it's fun. But also, you know, there are some things that are odd about it. It's easy to get stuck in that corner and for real almost no other 80s shows that use these characters are as good as MacGyver.
Also sort of thinking of Barrie Ingham and Clive Revill. The middle age male rough upper middle class British-adjacent character is an 80s trope too, I guess.
