My first thought was James Caan. Then I thought of Clint Eastwood, but last night, while watching My Name is Earl, a spark went off in my imagination about it being Craig T. Nelson. This is PURE speculation, and kind of fun and for entertainment purposes.
What are your thoughts, if it is an actor?
Spoiler alert, in an Oscarworthy turn, it's Tom Hanks. Turns out he was a white hat after all.
