Mystery actor

I think he’s pretty recognizable, but he’d be more so if this picture were a talking picture. Do you recognize him? Leave your guess in a comment. I’ll drop an oblique hint if necessary.

Here’s a hint: He’d be more recognizable if you could hear him talking. But if you were sitting at the bottom of a pool in scuba gear, you wouldn’t be able to hear him talking.

Elaine has a suggestion: You need to look elsewhere for a clue. Elsewhere.

The answer is now in the comments.

  2. Yes, that’s Willyam Daniels as Harry Culverin, in the Naked City episode “Idylls of a Running Back” (September 26, 1962). He plays a baffled boyfriend.

  3. The St. Elsewhere reference was a giveaway, but what's with the scuba?

  4. I just realized I’d better explain that: he was Ben’s father in The Graduate, I was thinking of the scene with Ben in the pool.

  5. And now said to be one of the oldest working actors.
