This actor has looked completely unrecognizable since he first appeared on screens 25 years ago – but can you guess who the now 62-year-old actor is?
For anyone who has yet to work it out, the star is Kevin McDonald who played Pastor Dave on That ’70s Show.
He appeared on the sitcom six times over the course of seasons two, three and four.
Kitty Forman (Debra Jo Rupp) bonded with Pastor Dave at the church fundraiser and recruited him to lead her son Eric Forman (Topher Grace) and his friends on a more righteous path.
However, he couldn’t get through to Eric and his friends Hyde (Danny Masterson), Donna (Laura Prepon), Fez (Wilmer Valderrama), Jackie (Mila Kunis) and Kelso (Ashton Kutcher).
Instead, he became good friends with Eric’s father Red Forman (Kurtwood Smith), who corrupted him with activities such as watching football and drinking beer, eventually leading him to stray from the church.
While he eventually regains his faith over the course of That 70s Show, fans got a funny update on Pastor Dave during the That 90s Show series.
In episode two of the spin-off series, Kitty runs into Pastor Dave off-camera at the local video store and sees him hanging out in the “adults only” section.

But the star broke up on his own in 2019 to do his own solo show. When speaking with The strip beathe explained that it was something he had wanted to do for a long time.
“When I was young, I never thought I could do stand-up β I always thought I was a sketch comic or a comedy actor,” he told the outlet.
βI needed other people, and ten years ago I thought, ‘You’re dying to show people something you write.’
βI started doing a podcast two years ago, which is like a variety show, and I started writing and every show has a new outline, a new song and stories, and I thought it would be fun to get the best out of that stuff and turn it into a one-man show.β

“We’re together all the time. We’re still a group,” he continued.
“We’re in talks β it may never happen, or more likely, it will, but in a year, because some of us are too busy β but maybe we’ll do another TV show on some streaming thing.” he explained during the 2019 interview.
They did indeed “do something about streaming” in 2022 when they reunited to film a season of skits for Amazon Prime in the self-titled reboot The Kids In The Hall.
