This isn't directly TV related, but it is inspired by television. I just finished watching a teleplay of "Fail Safe." It was a star and character actor filled movie about the tensions and issues facing the United States during the Cold War. Basically what happens is during a situation where an unidentified aircraft makes it though NORAD airspace B-52s are dispatched to attack the Soviet Union.
One of the aircraft passes the "fail safe" point where they will ignore all transmissions to halt the mission. Don Cheadle, one of my favorite actors, portrays the co-pilot on the B-52 that slipped though. I recognized him immediately despite wearing a helmet and breathing mask.
I realize that as someone who I'd seen previously, Mr. Cheadle would probably stick out more in my mind than someone I'd never seen before, but I couldn't help but think of the idiots out there who claim all whites, blacks or asians "look the same."
You go Don Cheadle! This white man will recognize you in any movie you're in.
