One 31-year-old Queens man, Brandon Morris, has a killer look... and it's getting him cast as some of America's Most Wanted. According to the Daily News he's a regular on the show, where he's played more bad guys than any other actor. While they usually won't cast the same actor over and over again — the producers say his multiethnic background keeps them bringing him back, noting he's portrayed "Hispanic, Native American, Jewish. His look can really change." He says, "If anything, I'm happy I'm doing my small part to catch these guys." So... if you ever see this guy on the subway, just keep in mind he's not really a rapist, murderer or one of the other unsavory characters he's played.
