Out of the Darkness

Tom Meighan, Tom Meighan...

Let's see what Google throws up:

"Tom Meighan also called Justin Timberlake a "Midget with Whiskers", "Sex on legs" and a "Puppet in a million dollar suit".
Eh?

Oh, not it's not that Tom Meighan, it's this Tom Meighan.

Aahh, that makes more sense.

Let's look at IMDB:

Sadly, this once-popular silent screen star and older matinée idol for Paramount Studios, is all but forgotten today. Thomas "Tommy" Meighan was one of the rulers of the Hollywood roost, between the years 1915 and 1928.
Like most of the films of the silent and early talkie area, Meighan's body of work has turned to celluloid dust.

But what a good face he's got. Just the type you'd want playing a detective. A little like Gary Sinese, perhaps?
