It’s some new Friday fun, stolen whole cloth from my former Cinemarati compadre Dan Jardine. Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights.
Bronxbee, it looks like there are not sufficient tattoos on the hands for it to be from Eastern Promises. The pics I've seen of Viggo's hands show more ink, where I see no ink on the hands shown above.

it's not from a movie. it's from the new band aid commercial that they're showing in the theaters.

Nope, nope, and nope.

Wow, this is harder than I thought. :->
You're all still wrong.

A History of Violence?

Here are a couple of hints: the movie is from the 2000s, and the actor pictured is more a generational peer of Harrison Ford than of Viggo Mortensen.

The Departed?
I'm stumped, really.

I have no clue. Which means, i probably haven't seen this movie.
Answer please.

Monday's usually the highest traffic day here. If no one's guessed by Tuesday AM, I'll post the answer.

I'll go with Nicholson in About Schmidt, but that's just a WAG.

I'm guessing Ed Harris, but I'm blank on what movie.

Since no one has guessed, I'll tell yas:
it's Michael Douglas in *Wonder Boys.*
