Hal Holbrook

(Prompted by seeing someone who looked like him (but wasn’t) make a cameo appearance in a Lionel Richie video. Hey, I’m working from home and I like to watch the old pop videos channel while I’m on my lunch break.)

All right, I'm asking: In which Lionel Richie video is there a Hal Holbrook lookalike running around?
