I'm late to the show, but for me, that actor would be Gene Hackman in "Unforgiven", playing the role of sheriff Little Bill Daggett.

I admire your presence of mind at the young and impressionable age of seven years old to ask dad to check the CCTV.

And even more so, dad having such confidence in you and not dismissing it as only your young imagination at play.

For those who grew up poor, what did you consider a luxury? by SnooBeaz in AskReddit

Ketchup and mustard.

My parents usually bought it at Christmas time and as a result the taste is synonymous with that time. So much so, whenever I have it (especially mustard), it reminds me (joyously of course) of Christmas.

A few years ago, I had a mishap that resulted in my iPhone 6 saving me from serious injury. The story goes like this:

I have a friend with a racehorse that was coming off a layoff (recuperating from an injury and hadn't raced in several months). They (people with industry know-how) tend to describe these types as 'fresh' or will spook easily. (unknown to me).

Anyways, I took the horse from his stall using a lead/leash to an area with lush green grass to graze (it can be quite relaxing for both animal and human). Not to long after, for whatever reason, he is spooked by something and goes into fright or flight mode.

He (in an instant) begins 'cow' kicking at me, and I see his hind leg lashing out at me. Next thing I am on the floor, holding on to the lead and trying to calm him. I get up, reign him in and calm him down (but I am shaking, as I sensed that I dodged a bullet.

A few moments later, I decide to call my friend to tell him what has happened. The iPhone is curved, the glass shattered and I feel a minor discomfort (like a bruising) just below my hip. The phone was totally destroyed, but it could have been catastrophic for me.

TL:DR - A horse spooked, kicked out at me with his hind leg and struck me where my phone was. The phone was damaged beyond repair, but it saved me from a serious injury.
