I had to google her:

Lesley Ann Warren is an American actress, singer, and dancer best known for her versatile performances on stage, screen, and television. While the parenthetical phrase "sublime rack" is vulgar, it refers to her well-known public image and is not part of her professional name.

So I finally got around to watching The Morning Show. While I know he's done other things, it was bugging me as where else I had seen Billy Crudup (Network Exec Cory Ellison in TMS).

At first I thought he had played the title role in one of the Steve Prefontaine movies, but driving home late last night, Elton's Tiny Dancer came on the radio and of course I thought of the bus scene from Almost Famous. Billy is Russell Hammond, the lead singer of Stillwater.

While he’s Tier 2, he’s been a legit leading man for 25 years now. You may also recognize his ginormous CGI schlong from the Watchmen and being the son in Tim Burton’s Big Fish.

That was the great Martin Mull, you twit!

 

(also RIP)

And I thought Homer's hippy friends were Ben & Jerry.  It was George Carlin and Martin Mull.

He also played Tim Geithner in Too Big to Fail. But that was a pretty forgettable role in a pretty forgettable movie.

he was a crappy bad guy in a Mission Impossible movie too.  Lots of big roles, only one of them I liked.

He was solid in MI3, a secondary baddie used for misdirection. Also, tremendous in The Watch as the creepy neighbor, another well done misdirection.
