The Wallpaper

#1 Post by Majordomo »

I came across this on the internet today:
Image

I am still trying to find the source becasue I would so put this up in my man-cave....as soon as my wife lets me have one...

I am wondering, however, who the guy in the white shirt is supposed to be. Anyone have a clue?

Looks like Robert Tessier . . . but why him?

Don't know who it is either. But I freakin' love the wallpaper! Maybe it's a one-off design for somebody. Since Magnum was on CBS and Knight Rider/A-Team were on NBC, I'm not sure they could could have gotten the licensing rights to mass produce it. Not to mention the fact that the 'other guy' just doesn't fit!

Maybe it's produced for a foreign market and the guy is of the same calibre there?

The only actor with a shaved head I can recall back in the seventie/eighties would be David Carradine in Kung Fu but it sure doesn't look much like him...........

That would be my guess too.

Yeah, just who is that guy? He's so out of place with that group. He does kind of look like Robert Tessier... Kojak? Mr. Clean? Yul Brynner? Patrick Stewart?

Maybe he's the owner of the wallpaper and wanted his face amongst the others?

It looks like the image is from a scene. The white shirt has a spot of blood or dirt on it. Plus the stick seems relevant, but I do not have a clue who it could be....

I am not convinced that it is Caine from Kung Fu, but everyone I have showed it to that has made a guess has guessed him...

That's hiliarious!

I don't know who the bald dude is either, and I'm wondering if his shirt is supposed to look blood spattered? Surely, that's a clue to who the heck he is.
