Haven't been able to place the other actor. I'm sure I'll be watching some random movie rerun someday, see him and gasp "THAT'S THE OTHER GUY from our flight!"
Mike will just look at me and ask "How do you KNOW all these people?!?" Which is usually what he asks (or some variant) when I come up with an actor's name he can't remember or say oh, they were in such and such movie, too. (Like Shirley Henderson who played Jude in Bridget Jones' Diary and was also in his video, Einstein's Big Idea).

Mike, upon reading this post said, "You seriously recognized this actor guy?!"
Hey, I grew up in LA. Plus, this skill/gift makes me a very valuable teammate for trivia games.
Shirley Henderson also played Moaning Myrtle in the HP movies. She seems to specialize in weepiness.
you and me both. I saw famous folks ALL the time when I lived in NYC - I don't think I was ever wrong or mistaken. Usually I had witnesses with me to verify, but Peter would never believe me. Once he and I went to Phuket Island Thai restaurant in Sierra Madre (try that place sometime if you haven't) and dining at the next table was Nurse Kelly from M*A*S*H and Peter wouldn't believe me even though she's sitting right there, so, I went over to ask her and yes, of course it was her, and she seemed quite delighted to be recognized, even came over to say goodbye to us on her way out.
I often wished I had kept a list in NY, as nerdy as that is. About 4 months ago we saw Teri Hatcher and her daughter at Disneyland. There, i've started a list....
ps I only watched Invasion once because some other show I liked came on before it, but I knew what you meant when you said it....
Fichtner has been in Dallas for a little while shooting the second season of the Fox show, "Prison Break." Run through the cast of the show and maybe you'll ID your other actor.
Scott
Good suggestion, Scoot! Alas, I didn't find actor #2. I even Googled pictures for actors without photos in IMDB.
I did find that several actors in "Prison Break" were also in "The Untouchables." Poked around there without success, but I did discover that actor Del Close willed his skull to the Goodman Theatre. Huh.
