I never liked Jimmy Pesto.

Me neither. Guess it was type-cast.

So… everyone knows who this guy is except the FBI?

The FBI is having trouble identifying an actor who's been on television for 26 years, so that's the state of the insurrection investigation. My country's law enforcement is an embarrassment. twitter.com/Seanbabydotcom…

@FreeTheWolfVO Think of the joy still ahead in every FBI agent’s life. None of them have ever watched Mr. Show OR Arrested Development.

That tweet is not fair - why would the FBI have a database of actors who have never committed crimes to compare to photos from the scene? Or is Fryda Wolff suggesting that FBI agents should have photographic memory of all actors ever?

The FBI has indicted over 250 people since the riot. They’re not slacking.

Who was he on Arrested Development?

CraigM · 2021-03-05T22:03:03.340Z

I mean I’ve never heard of the guy, and none of those roles are familiar to me.

DeForrestation · 2021-03-05T22:04:10.732Z

He’s an extremely recognizable character actor because of his height and square head. Almost always plays a bit part as a cop, outside of his sketch comedy stuff like Mr Show

(It’s a real shocking bummer, I’ve always enjoyed his work)

SadleyBradley · 2021-03-05T22:06:13.005Z

Yeah, he’s immediately recognizable, but I couldn’t name a single thing he’s been in.

nKoan · 2021-03-05T22:10:14.095Z

one of the perks of being a character actor I guess

Woolen_Horde · 2021-03-05T22:12:02.435Z

Character actor, aka, “Hey, it’s that guy!”

Timex · 2021-03-05T22:15:04.204Z

I’m looking at that FBI pic and I’m not really sure it’s him.

But are you an entire Federal Bureau? Tasked with finding people and identifying them?
That then went to the internet for help and had everyone go: “I’m pretty sure it’s that guy from… like everything.”

He’s usually a cop in my head, I feel like 80% of his roles were him in a uniform.
I couldn’t have told you his name if my life had depended on it though.

Entirely possible, though he’s a big Trump supporter and went to the protest by all accounts.
So, that kind of raises the chances quite a bit.

Tim Heidecker removed some tweets of his own in which he confirmed the Jay Johnston picture.

Good thing you can always take what was on the internet and delete it, so it never surfaces again.

Well, that didn’t take long...🤨 Apparently, perpetuating “Big Lie” propaganda & engaging in the attempted disenfranchisement of millions of voters, mostly minority, doesn’t matter to these corporations. Do not let them get away with this. twitter.com/juddlegum/stat…

Considering how many people the Internet is constantly misidentifying and harassing, I don’t think that they have the high ground on this one.

Here he is recounting his trip to the Capitol.

Was he civically minded or was he just letting people that they weren’t organic?

wisefool:

Various Michigan National Guard members guarding the Capitol were also allegedly hospitalized after eating “undercooked,” “raw” and “moldy” meals, as was alleged in a letter sent by Michigan House members to the Pentagon.

Taking this at face value, it seems clear the intelligence level of at least some Michigan National Guardsmen is extremely low.
