The guy I'm thinking of looks kind of like Michael Madsen...

Only I think he's a little younger.

I've looked through a shitload of lists on IMDb and can't find the fucking guy...

He was in romantic slightly badboy movies in the late 80s or early 90s, possibly lifetime movies. A "heart throb" but not any of the ones that are typically listed.

That's who I'm thinking of anyway.

It'll be outed soon enough who it is... I'll let you guys know if I was right.

In any case... whoever it is, their past in movies will have to be looked into in order to see if this could be payback for some enlightening message they were part of at some point.
