Downright easy, pod-nuh. And this galoot can easily be paired with at least 2 cars. ;)
Pros?
Is he an actor?
That was his primary mode of emplyment, I reckon.
He looks crazy enough here to be in a Peckinpah movie...
And then, a tuner?
:popcorn:

To my knowledge, he was never in a Peckinpah film. He may have played music, but was renowned for another art form.
Writing?
No sir. As you surmised, the above picture is from a film.
I guess so, but since you said that acting was his primary mode of employment, I was try to find what he'd done since.
Film director?

His other notable works were related to the stage and screen, as well.
Pod-nuh? Hmm. A younger Patrick McGoohan in a scene from Hell Drivers? Where all the trucks were Kew Dodges. In The Prisoner, he drove a Lotus 7 Series II. Leastways, he shared a face with this guy.
Max gets the point (I'm even throwing in a point for the mini film history). It is indeed the great American (born - died here, too)) actor of stage and screen, Patrick McGoohan, who I believe would have been much more of a film star if he hadn't done so much TV. But the TV he did was fabulous. I was fortunate enough to see "The Prisoner" many years ago as a summer replacement for (of all things) "The Jackie Gleason Show", back in the sixties. Many years later, I was gifted with the complete series on DVD, which I love to watch on a rainy Sunday, which guarantees I'll have the family room to myself.
Here is the obligatory opening sequence from "The Prisoner"

By the way, do you think Arunas is Number 2? ;)
That "Information!"-sequence is very famous Wasn't it used as a sample for some music track?
He is Irish to me, but half the world is Irish, myself included, so if you want to call him an American it's all right with me.
This proves me one thing: although he had a face I was sure to recognize anywhere, I didn't, here. I understand better why no one recognizes some of my world-famous Art and Cars people.
This other Irishman I identified, by the way, Kent McCord, I had never heard of him on the opposite. I just understood that "we live outdoors" (in your clue) must have been a tagline for a brand, and easily found Gander Mountain, then the guy. Pure googling.
By the way: I was wondering where your picture came from. "Hell Drivers" it is.
As I said, American (born).
I was sure the blue eyes would have given this one away much earlier. I had toyed with the idea of changing the pic to B&W, but to me, it made him oddly more recognizable:

No wonder. You're one hell of a patriot. ;D
But I've checked and you're right, he had american nationality.
My remark rather meant "once Irish, always Irish", something like that.
