I keep seeing this guy in many different series


He is a hell of a good actor - really seems connected to all his roles, and he can do drama or comedy. I just wondered who that face was that I have seen in "Patriot (2015)", "Resurrection (2014)" and "That 70's Show" which I mostly just caught changing channels, not really my interest. But this guy has good delivery, timing and enunciation.

Is this the dad from Dead Poet's Society? He was barely in that movie, but he was still good in that, too.

The guy is good ( and professional ) in virtually everything he does. He is a character actor, but he is really good and professional. I hate the 70's Show, but I admit I have seen it a few times and he is hilarious. I realize that it is the writers that really make actors good, but KS has something that distinguishes him. I really noticed his acting in the show "Resurrection" which was really bizarre and it occurred to me that this is a face you see all over but who never seems to get his due.

I loved Resurrection - he was incredible in that. I feel like that was the first time he really got to show his range and versatility in that, beyond anything he's done thus far, which is a real gift. He's a seasoned actor, and a lot of such actors never get to show what he did in that show.

Been in well over 100 movies and TV shows...HUGE respect for less famous actors like this dude!
