I know this is a bizarre request... but here goes.
I had a dream about a TF movie last night, pretty fun and cool. The weird thing was that all the human characters were being portrayed by actual actors. Shia was the main character. Kurt Russel was a racing team leader/owner (incorporating Cybertronian tech into his cars) etc etc. But then there was this one character whose actor I know from somewhere but can't place him.
He's got bulging eyes and gray hair, and I can just see him as a bad guy in a movie very ticked off and in a very expensive suit.
... at first I thought it might be Jean Reno, but that's not him. Very close resemblance, though.

any ideas?
strange request, I'm sure...
I just hope I don't lose my mental image by the time anyone might reply to this thread.

Buldging eyes?

I'm thinking of Marty Feldman who played in some Mel Brooks movies and played Igor in Young Frankenstien

not that extreme, but yes, thyroid eyes.
I think he was in some kind of spy movie, maybe a spoof. It's really hard to describe a person's face...

Christopher Walken?

He sometimes has grey hair in movies, but I don't think he looks too much like Reno.

No no, much lesser known than Walken. Spy movies or sci fi tv. Secret agent? Bad guy with minions? Dernit, the image is slipping by now, and I had it so sharply this morning.

Rowan Atkinson?

Lol, not Rowan. This guy is not a comedian of any stripe.

So the next two posters suggest comedians.

Steve Buscemi?

I'm pretty sure this guy does not have a name anybody would recognize, otherwise I'd be able to same some specific movie or other.

Can you think of who or what a person looks like from the unknown movie that you remember this person from?

No offense, but there is little to go from and now I am curious to figure it out as well.

That whole bulging eye stuff is making me think of Ronny Cox and Arnold at the end of "Total Recall".
