HistoryPhotos is for photographs (or, if it can be found, film) of the past, recent or distant! Give us a little snapshot of history!

Rules

  1. Be respectful and inclusive.
  2. No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
  3. Foster a continuous learning environment.
  4. No genocide or atrocity denialism.
  5. Photos MUST be at LEAST 10 years old, and ideally over 20. We appreciate that we are living through events which will become history, but this is ultimately not a comm for news or current affairs, but events which have occurred some time in the past.

He even looks like an old-school TV actor.

He vaguely reminds me of Gale Gordon (Theodore J. Mooney on The Lucy Show).

Or Raymond Bailey (Milburn Drysdale on The Beverly Hillbillies.)

Their long-lost brother, perhaps. The one who wasn't as attractive as them, and went in to shawarmas instead of Hollywood.
