- Whether That Guy can mean someone before they became that guy is debated; Caruso is too much of a lead.
- Paul Calderon is first named as the Joey Pants answer because most people do not know who he is, then moved to the Dion Waiters Award.
- Buscemi is suggested and rejected because he became Steve Buscemi.
- A candidate list: Carrie Nygren, who does not speak and is amazing as Melanie; Roger Guenveur Smith; Leonard L. Thomas with a great line delivery; and Joey Chin, whose Nosferatu spiel is a favorite. — Sean Fennessey
- Buscemi was a That Guy when the movie was made (Parting Glances, Billy Bathgate, Heart of Midnight, Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink), suggesting an at-the-time variation of the award.
- Another voice prefers the award for people whose names you do not know: Victor Argo is a That Guy to a movie fan who is not a cinephile, and Paul Calderon is 'definitely a that guy', seen in Pulp Fiction without knowing his name. — Sean Fennessey
- The Arty Clay actor is called the perfect That Guy too, one of the hoods at the beginning of Once Upon a Time in America; the bride's father from Sorcerer and The Brink's Job and James Lorinz from Street Trash are further That Guys.

- Frank Vincent is one of the all-time that guys, and it could always be him. — Sean Fennessey
- Other candidates: Frankie Faison, known from The Wire, Roger Guenveur Smith and Miguel Sandoval as a cop. — Sean Fennessey
- Giancarlo Esposito used to win this category until Breaking Bad. — Sean Fennessey
- Faison is suggested, then Frank Vincent 'because it's always Frank Vincent', met with agreement; he has not moved beyond that-guy status. — Wesley Morris

- Listed nominees: Bill Nunn as Radio Raheem, Robin Harris as Sweet Dick Willie, and Rosie Perez; Sam Jackson, Martin Lawrence and Roger Guenveur Smith are also raised. — Sean Fennessey
- Heat check is tricky because nearly every character gets about a scene and a half; Robin Harris is a 'bay leaf' outside the plot, always with Frankie Faison and Paul Benjamin. — Sean Fennessey
- John Savage's scene in a Larry Bird jersey, stepping on Buggin' Out's new Jordans, is offered as the pick and as a potential rewatchable scene.
- Savage's story that Larry Bird gave him the jersey through his sister is called apocryphal: per the hosts, Lee debunked it to Savage's face, saying he bought the shirt and gave it to costume designer Ruth Carter. — Sean Fennessey
- Challenged on picking a white guy, the picker is not scared: Savage's one memorable scene is a heat check moment. — Wesley Morris
