You are right about #19, that's Kevin Rankin as Nathan, from the 2007 re-imagination of Bionic Woman.<br /><br />But #12 and #16 are still out there. I'll give a hint: both of these tech-support guys come from series created by high-powered film directors.<br /><br />best,<br />JohnJohn Kenneth Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629979615332893780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-54792143365460222982011-04-12T14:00:29.983-04:002011-04-12T14:00:29.983-04:00Man these last 3 ones are hard.

And it's way too neat to be anything from Painkiller Jane.<br /><br />Number 12 reminds me of Michael C. Hall or the character Danny in CSI: NY. But I doubt you have that kind of shows in here (CSIs).<br /><br />I give up.<br /><br />Cheers from Iceland!<br />- JósefJósef Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07786186551265658132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-29838330819050772072011-04-12T09:45:19.693-04:002011-04-12T09:45:19.693-04:00Hi everyone:
