Downright easy, pod-nuh. And this galoot can easily be paired with at least 2 cars.  ;)

He looks crazy enough here to be in a Peckinpah movie...
And then, a tuner?

To my knowledge, he was never in a Peckinpah film. He may have played music, but was renowned for another art form.

No sir. As you surmised, the above picture is from a film.

I guess so, but since you said that acting was his primary mode of employment, I was try to find what he'd done since.
Film director?

His other notable works were related to the stage and screen, as well.

Pod-nuh? Hmm. A younger Patrick McGoohan in a scene from Hell Drivers?  Where all the trucks were Kew Dodges. In The Prisoner, he drove a Lotus 7 Series II. Leastways, he shared a face with this guy.

Max gets the point (I'm even throwing in a point for the mini film history). It is indeed the great American (born - died here, too)) actor of stage and screen, Patrick McGoohan, who I believe would have been much more of a film star if he hadn't done so much TV. But the TV he did was fabulous. I was fortunate enough to see "The Prisoner" many years ago as a summer replacement for (of all things) "The Jackie Gleason Show", back in the sixties. Many years later, I was gifted with the complete series on DVD, which I love to watch on a rainy Sunday, which guarantees I'll have the family room to myself.

Here is the obligatory opening sequence from "The Prisoner"

By the way, do you think Arunas is Number 2? ;)

He is Irish to me, but half the world is Irish, myself included, so if you want to call him an American it's all right with me.
This proves me one thing: although he had a face I was sure to recognize anywhere, I didn't, here. I understand better why no one recognizes some of my world-famous Art and Cars people.
This other Irishman I identified, by the way, Kent McCord, I had never heard of him on the opposite. I just understood that "we live outdoors" (in your clue) must have been a tagline for a brand, and easily found Gander Mountain, then the guy. Pure googling.

By the way: I was wondering where your picture came from. "Hell Drivers" it is.

As I said, American (born).

I was sure the blue eyes would have given this one away much earlier. I had toyed with the idea of changing the pic to B&W, but to me, it made him oddly more recognizable:

No wonder. You're one hell of a patriot.  ;D
But I've checked and you're right, he had american nationality.
My remark rather meant "once Irish, always Irish", something like that.
