I am really confused on this blind and grossed out because meth is disgusting.

I was going to guess Kevin Pollack too since someone brought up The Usual Suspects although I don't know how much if any broadway he's been in. Nevermind he's only been acting since the 80s and he was born in the 50s. I can't imagine it's Sean Astin either. He just doesn't seem like the type.

Michael Chiklis? He was in the movie "Wired" about John Belushi, and EL used an odd word choice for meth; don't they usually say "tweaked" for meth use? Chilklis has stage and film credits, as well as TV (EL wrote, "Plays and films are what he's known for most"). But I don't know if he started acting as a kid. Has a recognizable face, not so much a recognizable name.

The only other person I could think of was Clint Howard, but I think people know who he is; not sure if he has stage credits.

I saw "Sixteen Candles" this weekend, and wondered -- could the C lister of this blind be Brian Doyle Murray? A recongizeable face, but not so recognizeable name, and though I can't keep track of EL's A-B-C- lister logic, it made me think of this blind, given how many movies I've seen him in.
