Kim, The actor's name is Don Stark. He's been acting for almost 40 years.
Been in many TV shows. You may remember him from "That 70's Show".
Check him out on IMDB. Regards, Charles

I'll be honest I really couldn't concentrate on the episode cause I was searching for who the bank manager was. Finally found him his name is Don Stark and he is from that's 70s show. Totally knew he looked familiar.

I am trying to find the name of the actor who played the bank manager. He looks so familiar, I know I have seen him in something else!

Kind of dull episode. Not much really happened don't you think? Just seemed like a filler episode, really not that original. The case was surprisingly predictable, you were just waiting for some twist to happen and it never did. Dry. This episode was clearly about developing character relationships. Jane-Van Pelt, Lisbon-Jane, Lisbon-the rest of the FBI. The Jane-Van Pelt dynamic was a good idea but it wasn't really that interesting(they didn't go beyond Jane outwitting Van Pelt which isnt exactly an original idea and rubbing in dinner choices in her face). They also showed a different less angry more fun side of the Jane-Lisbon relationship which was kind of neat. The Lisbon-FBI thing was alot more intriguing but we didn't see much of it and considering the preview talked about Lisbon getting closer to the FBI-CBI rivalry, I was hoping for more. I would have liked to have seen more developed with the original man in charge of the robbery. It was just oh we found him at all 4 banks. Re
