FOUND!




Oliver Muirhead, from filmdope.com


After a few more searches, I was able to track down the real Tombstone Pizza star. His name is Oliver Muirhead. An English actor, his other credits include small roles in various Disney shows, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, MVP: Most Vertical Primate, LOST and numerous voice roles in video games, including Zork: Grand Inquisitor.

I updated his wikipedia page to highlight his work in culinary marketing.

Ok, from that picture, he looks like Ron, the head of the Secret Service in West Wing. Am I wrong?

Wow, I didn't realize how much in that picture he does look like Agent Butterfield. However, they are not the same guy, nor related. Ron is portrayed by Michael O'Neill: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_O%27Neill_(actor)

What I don't get is why in the earlier versions of Oregon Trail, when you'd hunt, there was a little dude on the screen and you controlled it all in third person, and then they switched to the lame first person view in later versions. Seriously, they should have converted the whole game into hunting because that is all anyone ever wanted to do, anyway.

Actually, I did enjoy the part at the end when you had to navigate your 'raft' down the river. It was mildly challenging, and I was the first in my second grade class to do it successfully, thus making me a hero. Also, you're overlooking the ability to make ridiculous barters, such as trading all but one of your sets of clothing for a single bullet.
