It's funny how video games are an obvious category when discussing fictional characters, but not when discussing actors.

Next game will be up relatively soon.

Yeah, I thought of Goldsmith as well, but the birth date was wrong.

I think this is going to be something really obvious, that's outside any realm we're thinking of.

 I don’t always guess the Dos Equis Most Interesting Man in the World, but when I do I guess Jonathan Goldsmith.
Hahahahahaha! No, but that is an *amazing* guess. I love it!
Anyways, you are looking for someone whose work is significantly more well-known than that of the Dos Equis guy.

 So, my hunch is that this is an actor from an advertisement or PSA. But I can't find anyone who fits.
Without offering an opinion one way or another on this, any guesses should be able to explain this, given the fact that I am well aware that we have participants from at least three different countries (Canada, UK, USA) playing this game:

 Here is another hint. I would be willing to bet that every single person playing this game right now is familiar with at least some of his acting work.

Free guess: Roger Bumpass
Plus, as I understand the answers given thus far, he would be one of the stars of a network TV show. Nickelodeon may be cable, but my questions defined "network" as "non-streaming" (I defined it that way because ALL networks are cable these days, no one "broadcasts" over the waves anymore).

Is a clarification required here?
I pointed out that "Spongebob was on television" in my original response to the guess; that was my way of showing that Nickelodeon shows were ruled out.

 Is this person most famous for acting in a show or shows avaibale on a streaming service (one you need to pay for, not YouTube)?
No. Between this and previous questions, you have successfully ruled out any shows on anything like CBS, Nickelodeon, HBO, Hulu, or Netflix (obviously a non-comprehensive list).

From the QM's earlier post, yes, Nickelodeon would have counted as network TV.

That's a pretty good guess - he definitely gets credit for lots of people being familiar with his work. But no. (He was born in Arkansas, and Spongebob was on television.)
