Who is this extra?

Rating: Null/10 (12 May 2004)

I have seen this movie upwards of 100 times and love it more every time. Just today though, i watched it and noticed a recognizable face among the extras. In the scene where connie and the president are standing on the front of the white house and he says "we need to address the nation, there's gonna be a lot of frightened people out there" and she replies "Yeah, I'm one of 'em." In this scene, the actor standing directly behind connie has appeared somewhere else that I cannot place. He has no speaking lines in this movie. Who is he and why do I know him? (If it's any help, i have the feeling he plays the father on some TV show or in some movie, maybe a disney channel movie or something). By the way, this movie is awesome and anyone who says otherwise clearly is not worthy of presenting his/her opinion.
