OP
Bucky

Neil Armstrong as a kid unmistakably looked like Neil Armstrong the adult.
I have no idea who this is. Johnny Carson?

I thought about suggesting him but I thought that was too on the nose considering his recent passing.
Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)5. Not enough of a baby face.
I considered that, too, but I don't think it's him.

AkA "Bones McCoy."
If you need any other help from old people, I'm here all week. Twice on Thursdays.

nothing but a vague sense of satisfaction
Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)9. Whoa. Never would have guessed that.

(3,051 posts)13. He was in a bunch of cheap westerns
And I think even WWII training films.
Anyway, he was a solid character actor when young, and I recognized him right away.
This is why you need old people.
Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)14. I think I'm older than you are.
And I still didn't recognize him.
I think you just watched a lot more TV than I did.
