Leave your guesses in the comments. I’ll be on and off one device or another this morning and will drop a hint when I can if one is needed.

Here’s a hint: Many moviegoers would have first seen him in a refreshment room.
Another hint: Many moviegoers would recognize him as a military policeman fond of pulp fiction.
I’ll give the name at 4:00 Central if no one’s gotten it.

Oh well. The answer’s in the comments. And in the refreshment room, the sugar is in the spoon.

Believe it or not, I brightened the screenshot a bit. I’m going to add a hint.
No idea. Paul Tripp?
William Demarest?
No, and no. I’ll add another clue.
That’s Trevor Howard as.narcotics kingpin Frank McNally in Pickup Alley (dir. John Gilling, 1957). He’s thoroughly convincing as a bad guy. Here’s another look at him in that hat (with Anita Ekberg: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050841/mediaviewer/rm3803395584/?ref_=ttmi_mi_all_3.
every time i looked at this photo i kept seeing a robin williams doppelganger in a way. his face was familiar but couldn't place the name. trevor howard was never a favorite of mine although he was a good actor especially in the third man. maybe we don't have to like the actor as a person!

I thought for sure someone would guess Robin Williams (and think that I had sneakily turned a color image into black and white). It’s fun to see him here as a sadistic villain — playing against type.
