Why Todd From Christmas Vacation Looks So Familiar

After "Sons of Anarchy," Nicholas Guest continued to make some onscreen appearances in other popular shows despite a heavy workload in voice work. In 2012, Guest appeared in an episode of "Mad Men." But in 2015, the actor got to shine as an adversary to Ichabod Crane (Tom Milson) for two episodes of Fox's "Sleepy Hollow." Guest's character, William Howe, is a British general who deals in the supernatural (via Sleepy Hollow Fandom). Afterward, Guest went from an occult general to a robot for CBS's "MacGyver" in 2017. In the reboot series, he voiced a robot that often assists "MacGyver" and his team.

For one of his most recent major roles, Guest decided to act in the world of political dramas. Beginning in 2016, he appeared in a few episodes of "Madam Secretary." The CBS series follows the character Elizabeth McCord (Téa Leoni) as she becomes the United States Secretary of State and the first woman president in later seasons. Elizabeth often has to deal with worldwide issues, such as in the episode "Mitya" when she has to negotiate with Russian President Maxim Salnikov, played by Guest. The actor does a convincing job in the role of the Russian leader, even in one scene of the episode, publicly decrying some American policies during a Russian broadcast. It mirrors some of the world's political stories found in news headlines.
