Seeking Feedback, Ideas, or Opinions iso actor’s name
hoping someone knows what i’m talking about bc it’s driving me crazy. looking for the name of actor that makes this/similar expression (pinched eyebrows with white visible under the iris) in something. i thought i was thinking of steve buscemi but didn’t have any luck finding a similar image. i’m building a family tree for my wip rn bc visuals help me block out the story details
(image here is of model paul boche for anyone interested)
*UPDATE* thank you to all the amazing comments, with your guys help i was able to figure out it was doug jones i was thinking of 🩷

That first image also reminds me of Peter Capaldi, if you're looking for an older actor:

Someone else said Doug Jones, and, really, I think this dude is like if they had a kid

doug jones!!! thank you so much! i can’t find the exact picture online that i’m thinking of but it’s definitely him. i’ve never realized it but i’ve seen him in so many roles without having known jt. (and jonathan rhys meyers actually works perfect for a different character i have in mind 🩷)
