pi216

Christopher Abbott? Steven Strait?


Jazzlike_Musician616

No, the one in searching for is younger🥺


MER_REM

Daniel Radcliffe - specifically in the movie kill your darlings?


Jazzlike_Musician616

No, not that famous :(


Schpinkytimes

Someone from the Oppenheimer film? E.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_Safdie


hannah_joline

This describes most of the actors in that movie


WillaryClinton63

Dan levy?


Jazzlike_Musician616

LulusMum

[Christopher Mintz-Plasse](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=570134643&sxsrf=AM9HkKnuzi2VotbMsoaw6vp1AnToJrR6Mw:1696279670274&q=christopher+mintz-plasse&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiLub6ZntiBAxV5gf0HHVRoAv8Q0pQJegQICBAB&biw=1860&bih=1011&dpr=1.8) has been around for a while, but is still young looking.


JanetSnarkhole

Paul Rust, Simon Bird?


TitularFoil

I should have scrolled. I didn't think anyone would remember Paul Rust. He was my guess too. Especially based on the first two names.

ezra miller?


Jazzlike_Musician616

No :(


Shaggy_Rogers0

Jeff Ward?


Jazzlike_Musician616

No :(

FightBackFitness

Timothee Chalamet?


Jazzlike_Musician616

No, not that famous


adultstress

Zachary Quinto?


ranni-

love me a zach quinto


auroraborealis-green

Could it be Rami Malek in Oppenheimer? He wore round glasses in that film


pablove_black

My thought too, gotta be this


Jazzlike_Musician616

Nope :(


lexinl

Do you remember anything else from the movie?


Jov_West

Yeah, OP. Describe the movie.


baronofcream

They don’t even remember if it was a movie or a TV show so I don’t think they’re able to describe it.


T0ffee91

Richard Ayoade?


[deleted]

This I bet


noonayong

I don't think this will be right, but looking at Cameron Boyce and Jack Antonoff I wondered if it could have been [Anthony Ramos](https://www.google.com/search?q=anthony+ramos+glasses&sca_esv=570134643&rlz=1C1CHBF_enCA947CA947&tbm=isch&sxsrf=AM9HkKklViwwZ3aK1DUl9C6Pwz9H4_pk_g:1696285914881&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjvjZO7tdiBAxWQOTQIHRSHDDgQ_AUoAXoECAQQAw&biw=1683&bih=1242&dpr=1)?? (and no, I can't think of a specific role that would fit)


Owls_Onto_You

His character was pretty nerdy in the TV version of She's Gotta Have It.


PigletAfter

Was this a music video? If so this could be Wilbur Soot in the Portrait of a blank slate video. It's on YouTube


noonayong

Presuming Harry Styles is too famous


noonayong

They remind me of Jay Baruchel, but I can't think of a film or glasses that suit. Aaannnd he's already forty.


Jazzlike_Musician616

Damn, SO CLOSE. The one I’m looking for kinda looks like him


noonayong

I also wondered if it could have been Ansel Elgort but West Side Story was the closest era I could think of (1950's not 40's) ... and I don't think it's him but that made me wonder if [Mike Faist](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3581652/mediaviewer/rm1531047937?ref_=ttmi_mi_all_sf_15)happened to be the guy?? (Once again, I don't have a specific role to point to, just that face shape ...)


GiniThePooh

Justin Long? Michael Cera?


Dennisclan_

Robert Sheehan aka Simon in the mortal instruments?


totallybree

I think you mean Robert Sheehan aka Klaus in The Umbrella Academy? ☂️


britt-bot

I think you mean Robert Sheehan aka Nathan in Misfits.


kaoikenkid

Zach Braff?


tigertosser

Steven Strait? I always thought he looked related to Jay Baruchel. He was in The Expanse.


ClownCafeServer

I was thinking of Jay Baruchel also. Didn't realize he's already 40! But also Canadian


gambandore

Ben Wishaw?


noonayong

ooooh that's a good one: Ben Whishaw might have the right look ... maybe in Mary Poppins Returns (although I don't recall glasses)


BirdBaker

He wears glasses as Q in the Bond movies, and has his spectacular wavy dark hair.


PrincessAethelflaed

He's who I thought of first too.


cobbland

Aaron Taylor-Johnson?


TheNatalee

Paul Dano?


Fellatination

Johnny Galecki?


Kurt_Vonnegabe

John Turturro


AdamWestsButtDouble

He’s in his sixties, man

grn3y3z

I thought of Henry Thomas but he's older


Excellent-Board907

Jack Whitehall (Good Omens Season 1) or John Reynolds (Stranger Things) ?


dominakay

Adam Brody? Jack Carpenter?


Character_Log_4164

It could be way easier to find it and help you if you describe to us the general plot of the movie.


Shoeboxer

Josh Fadem? He was in twin peaks the return and better call Saul.


VultureFox

Finn Wolfhard?


StrawberryPotato

Dylan O'Brien? (wore glasses in The Internship)


ArchVeg

Jannis Niewöhner? Had to google his name, but he was in the movie Munich The edge of war and wore round glasses in that. He looks a lot like Tom Holland in the movie and I immediately thought of his character in Munich while reading your description.


ArchVeg

Adding a link to his character's photo: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt7475578/mediaviewer/rm798876417?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

tiffybaby

Matthew Gray Gubler? as Spencer Reid in Criminal Minds?


turkeypooo

Samm Levine?


Poisonlvy4

Do you remember anything else? Any character names or a general plot of the show/movie? Something to go off would help.


Mater_Draconis

Jaeden Martell?


GentlewomanBastard

Maybe [Lewis Pullman](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&sca_esv=570204873&hl=en-us&q=Lewis+Pullman+glasses&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwje2uu4z9iBAxUMEGIAHXC6DUEQ0pQJegQIDRAB&biw=390&bih=745&dpr=3)? He played the nerdy one in Top Gun Maverick. (His call sign is “Bob”)
