I've always been amused by John McGiver, most recently seeing him in an Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode (S03 E29 - "Fatal Figures"). Due to his thick accent, I always thought he was British, but he isn't. You probably don't recognize his name, but you'd recognize his face - in fact, he was the very first person ever to be in the American Express "Do You Know Me?" commercials. 

I remember him best as the salesman at Tiffany's in "Breakfast at Tiffany's," but have seen him numerous times in who-knows-what. He was a wonderful character actor who is *so* British that it shocks me that he isn't.
