I just saw Greg Grunberg from Heroes in the game. Thought it was cool that I recognized him in a game.
Haha, Greg Grunberg is the only one I positively recognized so far! Nothing against the motion scan tech; I think it’s looking amazing. He’s just the only face I could place as of yet.
There’s actually quite a few faces I recognized but couldn’t put a name to them. Which is what gave me the motive to construct this article.
One thing I can’t stand is seeing a face and not being able to match a name with it.
You forgot to add Mrs. Bishop, aka Carla Gallo. She was the woman in the apartment.
I don’t know if this is the guy or not but he looks a lot like him. Is Andy Umberger the coroner at all the crime scenes that you talk to? It’s been driving me nuts the last couple of days. Here’s a link to his pick:
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4101741824/nm0880820
Yes – that’s him.
If you look at his IMDB timeline, it says that he is in L.A. Noire, and that he played Carruthers.
Nice find.
Loads others from Mad Men. The bartender in the hit and run case with the knife achievement used to be in it and I think Peggy from the show is one of the witnesses in that case too
They forgot one. Alexis Cruz as Officer Enrico Gonzalez.

There’s a lot of actors/actresses you could say we “forgot”, there’s just too many to list
Glad to see others commenting with ones that weren’t included in our list though. Love seeing more comparisons.
Ande Cunningham is officer Gonzalez

There is also “Bob Clendinen”, he was a drunk guy in front of a bar. And I think I spoted him somewhere later again. He is known from several shows and movies. He was Dr.Zeltzer in Scrubs and even played a role in L.A. Confidential.
I really thought I’d also seen Jon Cryer from Two and a Half men
yes I believe I seen him aswell, he’s in one of the first missions(Buyer Beware) as the man you take a statement from in the orange shirt just before you enter the shoe store…:D
I actually just started another playthough and finished doing that case. I thought the same thing as well, but it doesn’t sound anything like him. I’ll have to look in the manual and see if he’s listed because I love Two and a Half Men
Frank Lundy from Dexter is the coroner
False.
Frank Lundy is played by Keith Carradine.
I love me some Dexter.
I recognized every face that i have seen b4!
AWESOME tech!
I recognize the old lady that was whirring the blue thing on here head in one of mission
There’s also the bartender, Diego Aguielar portrayed by Joe Nieves from How I Met Your Mother.
You forgot to add Peter Stormare aka Dr. Harlan Fontaine
Sorry, I mean Peter Blomquist
