Nope... from what I can vaguely recall, the actor I'm thinking of plays bit parts and is usually weird or creepy. Wade reminds me of him for some reason. Like I said, I'll see him one day on TV and get his name and a pic.
Nope, not who I was thinking of. Buscemi is pretty popular at this point in his career. The guy I'm thinking of is far less known and has the same shaped head as Wade. Sorry about the derail. I'll post it if I every find it. For all I know, my memory is poor and there isn't much similarity.
the dude from wayne's world (Dana Carvey)? that's whose facial expression comes to mind for me from that pic of Wade
I searched "Ed Wade look a like" in google and stumbled across this garbage: http://thefightins.com/r****d/the-real-title-ed-wade-is-the-phillies-personal-finger-puppet/ Even on my darkest days here on CF, criticizing the Rockets, Astros, Rafer, McGrady, etc... I have never spewed hate anywhere near that magnitude. I don't care what Wade did or didn't do, that is just disgusting and obviously says a lot more about the guy who wrote it, his followers and the website than anything about Wade. I am proud to be an Astros fan, and specifically not a Phillies fan, after reading that trash.
Ed Wade is some sort of bizarre reflexive shi!t-talking-talisman in certain circles. The guy literally cannot win with some people.
I've criticized Wade unfairly at times but that dude took it to a whole different level. I mean, Purpura isn't a very popular figure around here and you may hear the occasional "idiot" or "Poopoora" comment or whatever but that Philly "fan" is clearly filled with an abnormal amount of hate. I'm guessing that he is a generally miserable person that spews hate in all facets of life. If Wade had broken into his house and stolen all his valuables, his comments would have still been way over the line. He must not believe in karma.
Bump for finally figuring it out... Robert Joy from CSI NY and The Hills Have Eyes: and a bunch of other pics: http://www.google.com/search?um=1&hl=en&safe=off&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-us&biw=1680&bih=996&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=Robert+Joy&btnG=Search&oq=Robert+Joy&aq=f&aqi=g8&aql=&gs_sm=s&gs_upl=8287l8444l0l9337l7l1l0l0l0l0l232l232l2-1l1 Really a striking resemblance, in my opinion.
that guy looks like a cross between seth meyers and ed wade. actually, even more like seth meyers disguised as an elderly.
