Dylan Baker is just one of those character actors that you know you know him but have difficulty placing.
Since the internet has ate your brain you check IMDb.
Television, movies, the list just goes on and on.
He won a Fangoria Chainsaw in 2007 for supporting actor in Trick r’ Treat.
He also won awards for his role in Happiness (1998) but I wouldn’t recommend you watch it.
His work in that film is dark and it sticks with you forever even though you don’t want it to.
