Thousands recognise picture of ordinary-looking man
A man who has been recognised by thousands of people has left members of the public trying to figure out where they remember him from, and his job may surprise you An ordinary-looking man has been recognised by thousands of people, and many are only just realising why. The familiar face has left members of the public scratching their heads as they try and figure out where the man is from. A post to the r/TodayILearned Reddit page has since shed some light on the sighting. It is likely you may have seen the man when watching a film or television programme from the last 25 years. Jesse Heiman, the man pictured above, may seem like an everyday face but his work has landed him roles in everything from Hollywood hits like Transformers: Dark of the Moon to comedy shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Heiman, an American actor and comedian, is best known not for his line delivery or performances, but for his background additions. His work as an extra means he features in all-time classics without uttering a word. Film and TV show fans are only just realising how many major epics the star has appeared in. A post to Reddit reads: "He has 108 credits including Spider-Man, The Social Network, Transformers, Monk, How I Met Your Mother and many more. It's believed he is the most recognisable extra in film history." Heiman's work as an extra is legendary, though some may remember him for his recurring role in Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. He also had frequent features in The Big Bang Theory, playing the role of Wil Wheaton's friend. Heiman's recognisable face and dependable extra work makes him one of the most familiar faces on screen. One person who has worked with extra legend Heiman shared: "I did extra work for many years and would see Jesse on set pretty regularly. "There's plenty of career extras with similar or more extensive credits but they don't have Jesse's unique look, which is what makes him so easy to spot." Others who have spotted Heiman on screen have cited everything from American Pie to a Super Bowl XLVII GoDaddy Commercial as some of his very best appearances. Some viewers have found it surprising Heiman has never been offered a role beyond extras work, despite being a recognisable on-screen presence without having many, if any, lines. One thread comment reads: "It's pretty astonishing that a person can work in TV and film for that long without ever having a real role..." Another added: "Dude has a very distinctive look, and visually fits a 'type'. This is often what they're looking for in featured extras, someone who's character is immediately apparent and conventional, and easily fits a personality trope." A documentary on Heiman's notoriety as an extra is also in the works. Jesse Heiman: World's Greatest Extra does not have a release date at the time of writing, but is in production.

Rob McElhenney files to legally change his name
Rob McElhenney has filed to legally change his name to Rob Mac. The 48-year-old actor - who is perhaps best known for starring in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - has filed legal documents in Los Angeles to officially change his name, according to TMZ. The Hollywood star has started investing in various sports teams in recent years, and the Wrexham AFC co-owner previously admitted that his surname is a constant source of confusion for some people. As a result, Rob revealed that he planned to change his name to something that's easier to pronounce. Rob - who has played an instrumental role in the award-winning Welcome to Wrexham documentary - recently told Variety: "As our business and our storytelling is expanding into other regions of the world and other languages in which my name is even harder to pronounce, I'm just going by Rob Mac." However, Rob's wife, actress Kaitlin Olson, hasn't been so keen on the idea. She shared: "The kids are really not happy about it, because they have that last name. And so do I, legally!" Rob and Ryan Reynolds, his showbiz pal, became co-owners of Wrexham in 2021, and they've helped to transform the club's fortunes in recent years. Ryan previously described his ownership of Wrexham as "the greatest experience" of his life. Speaking to the BBC in 2023, Ryan shared: "This adventure has been unlike anything else. "I love it because it's a project that's going to be multi-decades. "I met a supporter the other day whose grandfather's ashes were scattered across the pitch. I look at this place as like a church. "In Canada, where I am from, people are obsessed with this club. It's been pretty remarkable. We've sold something like 24,000 jerseys and so many of them went to North America. We can't get them any more. I can't get one. "The part I find most gratifying is the support from the community outside the club. The fact Wrexham have become a tourist destination for so many folks and they are showing up here. There is something special about this town."

Welcome to Google AI Mode! Everything is fine.
If the AI lovefest of Google I/O 2025 were a TV show, you might be tempted to call it It's Always Sunny in Mountain View. (It's not, by the way, especially in the fog-filled month of May, even if the company's confidence in booking an outdoor amphitheater suggests otherwise). But here's a better sitcom analogy for the event that added AI Mode to all U.S. search results, whether we want it or not. It's The Good Place, in which our late heroes are repeatedly assured that they've gone to a better world. A place where everything is fine, all is as it seems, and search quality just keeps getting better. Don't worry about ever-present and increasing AI hallucinations here in the Good Place, where the word "hallucination" isn't even used. Forget about the one live demo (among a dozen prerecorded ones) that went spectacularly wrong, where two presenters failed to translate each others' words via their Google AI glasses. Responsible AI, the focus of Google I/O 2023, went unmentioned. Skyrocketing AI data center usage contributing to global warming? In the Good Place, Google AI is fighting global warming by helping to pinpoint wildfires. Don't think too hard about that one. And as for that whole Hollywood strike that lasted nearly a year, largely over creatives' concerns about studios using AI? Fuggedaboutit. Creative folk love AI in the Good Place — just listen to the testimonials from the filmmakers and musicians Google has cherry-picked! Meanwhile, SEO experts warn, search results continue to get worse with AI Mode-style overviews. According to internal memos obtained in the ongoing Department of Justice lawsuit, which the DOJ just won, Google has a perverse incentive to make them that way. "If users don't get what they want the first time, they have to search again," says Lily Ray, VP of SEO Strategy at Amsive, and the author of a recent viral LinkedIn post, Google AI Overviews Have a Major Spam Problem. "So if you're serving them multiple AI overviews because they have to search multiple times, Google can then say 'we have more people using AI every day.' It's like, 'yeah, but there's no way to turn it off.'" Or to put it in the plot-pivoting words of The Good Place's Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell): "Wait a minute. This is the Bad Place!" Google has a roughly 90 percent share of the search market, after all; it can afford to make the product worse by using AI so long as investors keep juicing the stocks of AI-heavy companies. It can pretend to look like the Good Place for search, while under the hood it's anything but. Like Eleanor Shellstrop, however, users know what's up. Google search results have "kind of become the laughingstock of the Internet," Ray says. "Whenever Google communicates about AI Overviews, they say 'our users really love it.' But then when you read Google Forum, it's always like 'how do I turn this thing off, I want Google search back.'" (Even turning AI search off, according to one Google Forum user, doesn't turn it off.) As in The Good Place, this awareness may not do a lick of good. If investors continue to reward Google for frothy presentations filled with cool-sounding AI features, there's no incentive for quality control. As often appears to be the case in 2025, we have to get used to living in separate realities. So users may breathe a little easier knowing that Google stock fell by 1.5 percent in the aftermath of I/O (and is down 12 percent in 2025 as a whole). Is that enough to nudge the company to pay attention? It would take Google I/O levels of Pollyanna optimism to think so. Instead, let's draw our attention to a Good Place fact you won't find easily in AI Mode. It took demon Michael (Ted Danson) 300 years to stop resetting Eleanor's memories every time she realized she was in the Bad Place. So, only a few hundred years to go before Google is working for us again. Everything is fine.

Tom Brady takes center stage in ‘Welcome to Wrexham' season 4 as banter with Rob McElhenney heats up
Tom Brady joins 'Welcome to Wrexham' season 4, sparking a hilarious feud with Rob McElhenney over a cheeky joke. (Credit: YouTube/Ryan Reynolds) Season 4 of Welcome to Wrexham is about to crank up the drama, and this time, it's not just about football. NFL legend Tom Brady is entering the scene — not as a player, thankfully, but as a co-owner of Birmingham City FC , one of Wrexham's fiercest new rivals in League One. Tom Brady joins the chaos at Wrexham as Rob McElhenney's joke stirs up hilarious feud With the official trailer now live, fans are already buzzing about what appears to be a not-so-friendly rivalry between Brady and the show's familiar faces, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. 'He's not playing – thank God,' Ryan Reynolds exclaims in the opening of the trailer. With a tone equal parts comic relief and subtle apprehension, he then adds, 'Is he allowed to play?' That playful panic sets the tone for a season where celebrity competition spills over onto the pitch. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Google Brain Co-Founder Andrew Ng, Recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo Welcome to Wrexham | Season 4 Official Trailer After achieving back-to-back promotions, Wrexham now finds itself in League One, where the competition is stiffer, the stakes higher, and the spotlight even brighter. Brady, who joined Birmingham City as a minority owner in 2023, quickly becomes the center of attention — both as a sports icon and now a new figure in the club ownership scene. His presence is seen as a serious power move, adding more spice to an already intriguing storyline. One of the standout moments in the trailer is a callback to McElhenney's iconic sitcom It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. A clip plays where his character jokes, 'Maybe break his arm,' referring to Tom Brady, to which Kaitlin Olson's Dee responds, 'You can't break Tom Brady's arm.' Fast-forward to present day, Brady responds, 'What's wrong with you?' — his deadpan expression speaking volumes about how personal this fictional jab might've felt. The docuseries — set to run for eight episodes — won't just spotlight the clash of celebrity owners. It dives deeper into the challenges Wrexham faces as they push for a third consecutive promotion. The grit of League One football , the unwavering support from the local Welsh community, and now the added glitz of Brady's Birmingham have elevated the narrative far beyond just sports. 'It's a friendly competition,' Brady says at one point — only to follow it up with, 'Well, not friendly,' as the trailer flashes a chaotic scene of players from both sides in a heated moment on the field. As Wrexham continues its fairytale rise under Reynolds and McElhenney, and Birmingham pushes forward with Brady's backing, Welcome to Wrexham Season 4 promises not just underdog inspiration, but a Hollywood-style rivalry that fans won't want to miss. Welcome to Wrexham Season 4 premieres May 15 at 9 pm on FX and streaming next day on Hulu. Welcome to Wrexham is executive produced by McElhenney, Reynolds, Josh Drisko, Bryan Rowland, Jeff Luini, Ker, Nick Frenkel, George Dewey and Boardwalk Pictures' Andrew Fried, Dane Lillegard, Sarina Roma, and Andy Thomas. The docuseries is produced by More Better Productions, Maximum Effort Productions, 3 Arts Entertainment and Boardwalk Pictures.
