Help naming an actor [Solved!]

This guy always plays secondary or tertiary characters. He's familiar enough that I'd recognize him in a second but can't think of a particular movie he's been in or his name.

He looks a lot like Scott Adsit in terms of his face and hair. Any ideas?

Edit: It was Robert Picardo. God bless you @Hirocon

    No, my buddy brought up that guy and the guy that plays the dad on Veronica Mars but it's neither of those fellas.

    Oh man, I know who you're talking about and I can picture him, but I can't think of a movie to look up...

    And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn

    He plays delivery men and that sort of thing. Maintenance guys. Background people with one-liners.

    He was already mentioned, he's also the dad on Veronica Mars.

    Shot in the dark, it's not John C. Reilly is it? Or Ed Lauter?

    Walton Goggins has kind of clint howard forehead. Works better on him, though.

    He's the guy that springs to mind based on your "looks like this guy" pic

    I looked through all the suggestions so far and the entire "That Guy" list, none of those guys =(

    Appreciate the effort though, thanks everyone.

    I thought about suggesting him, but I don't think he's actually been in a lot of 'that guy' roles?

    He is AWESOME, but I only really know him as the doctor in Voyager.

    I'm of the opinion that he's amazing in pretty much whatever he does. He was one of the only reasons I actually sat through and watched Voyager.

    Robert Picardo is really a stellar actor. He's basically one of the only reasons Voyager is worth existing, and that's not just his acting skill but that he rewrote his own lines when they were shit.
