Is William McNamara in Dallas?

I could swear I saw this guy at the West Village Starbucks the other day. No? And then I heard a rumor that he’s now living here. Anyone have a sighting?

  1. I know he’s been in town a lot in the past year. He has been working on getting a reality TV show off the ground with the free legal clinic at SMU being the subject matter. I know they’ve filmed a little bit on spec, but I’m not sure if he’s found anyone interested in students impersonating lawyers.

  2. No idea who the hell he is. Clicked the link and read his body of work on IMDB. Not only have I never heard of him — I’ve never heard of most of the films he’s done.

    Guess I’m just tragically un-hip.

  4. @Typical: You all look so much alike and all. And I *do* mean you all.

  7. If I were basing my answer on that picture, I would say that ever since Extra replaced him with Mario Lopez and Sugar Ray got dropped, Mark McGrath appreciates the cheap cost of living here in Dallas?

  8. I guess Alan Peppard must have taken the buyout or something?

  9. He was the bad guy (along with fellow bad guy Harry Connick Jr.) in CopyCat, with Sigourney Weaver, Holly Hunter, Dermot Mulrony). Liked the movie.

  10. You don’t watch sports & you go to the Starbucks in West Village? I am not sure what one has to do with the other but it struck me as odd.

  11. Amusing comments, all of you. But thanks mostly to Billy Stalker, who provided exactly what I was looking for.

  13. he played the young version of Mark Harmon’s character in “Stealing Home” with Jodie Foster…

    Queue Johnathan Silverman … “you had sex with my prom date!”

  14. Wasn’t the “CopyCat” the device that initiated Belo’s precipitious decline? Cue the responses…

  16. Cripes. What’s next? Joey Greco sightings?

  17. Man crush, Tim?

  18. Eric is will be so hurt. Poor little guy.

  19. I guarantee you this guy had his ass kicked a lot in high school.

    @ 4:48 pm on January 7, 2009
  20. He is cute Tim. Perhaps a little young.
    You could probably track him down via Craig’s List.

  21. OMG I heard Adrian Zmed was in Dallas this week. Can anyone confirm??????

    @ 5:08 pm on January 7, 2009
  22. It’s Marty Cortland. Or Rawlins Gilliland.

    @ 7:11 pm on January 7, 2009
  23. I can’t believe the play this thread received. Who knew?

    @GNC:

    Sorry, man, but the Real Marty Cortland is a much more manly type.

    @Puddin’Tane

    And which of course justifies Tim’s man-crush on Cortland, which DWARFS the comparative same with strapping Eric.

  24. THIS IS FILED UNDER CELEBRITY?? GIVE ME A BREAK!

    @ 10:21 pm on January 7, 2009
  25. I know now not to ever take any of you schmuckheads seriously. I’m glad I could be of some service to Tim, but I feel used and a little dirty. Never again!

    @ 10:22 pm on January 7, 2009
  26. Fake Cortland: I know where your man crush is directed but having to bite my tongue out of respect for the other party.

    Arrgghhhh.

  27. He’s here OFTEN. He was in town during AFI Dallas, then again for Lone Star Film Festival in Fort Worth. Seeing this guy here is about as common as seeing Jessica Simpson, except nobody recognizes him.

  28. Sorry for the inattention. I was busy hunting grizzly bear. With a baseball bat. While eating a porterhouse, rare. And smoking an unfiltered Lucky Strike (unlike Zac Crain’s girly Marlboro Light, for chrissakes).

    “Other”: thanks for manning the keyboard in my absence. Whoever that poseur in the picture is, please let it be known that I have more hair — and far more intimidating forehead wrinkles.

    Puddin’: You got that right.
