qwksilver Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I knew Bakay was Buffalo, I was unaware of Fichtner. Pretty cool. Thanks. 2
BillsSB2020 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Haven't seen much of Bakay lately. He's a hilarious guy. Loved his role of Priest on King of Queens. Definitely Buffalo through and through. 1

I kid, what is this show Mom? Never heard of it. Expand Ha! Yeah, I’ll probably move it to Off The Wall, though it’s definitely Bills related. ‘Mom’ is a repeat Emmy winning sitcom, starring Allison Janney. Fichtner and she also starred in The West Wing, she as Press Secretary, he as a Supreme Court Justice. 1
Freddie's Dead Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Shame on any Bills fan who doesn't know William Fichtner. Best known as the redeemed dirty FBI agent Alex Mahone on Prison Break, he did the Bills 2014 video promo (still chokes me up): 1 1
BillsSB2020 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I remember Fichtner playing a blind guy amazingly well, but can't remember the role. Also guilty of not knowing he was a Buffalonian.

I really thought he was blind!
