Moustache Man is Ron Burgundy!


Watching this film, I kept trying to figure out where i'd seen Moustache Man before, then it came to me, he's the spitting image of Ron Burgundy from Anchorman! Surely Will Ferrell saw this film beforehand and based the look of Ron on him?

Believe it or not he was a linebacker with the Philadelphia Eagles.

When you steal from Peter and give to Paul, you will always have the support of Paul.

Well, that actor was in a love of movies and TV shows during the early 80's, with that exact same look. He was in my favorite Hart To Hart episode. So it's possible Ferrell saw in any of a number of places.

I came here just to see if anyone else thought that!

He was an amusing character. I don't recall him speaking any dialogue and the way he looked, his reactions and attempts to avoid the light gun had me chuckling.
