One of the more prominent prison guards in “The Shawshank Redemption” is Wiley, played by Don McManus. Since then, he’s appeared in a number of major movies, including Ridley Scott’s 2001 “The Silence of the Lambs” sequel, “Hannibal,” the 2004 Disney family adventure flick, “National Treasure,” and the 2014 young adult sci-fi adaptation, “The Maze Runner.” His most prominent big-screen role of late was as David Addington, Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, in 2018’s “Vice.”
McManus has arguably had a bigger impact on the small screen over the past decade, with recurring roles that include Bonnie’s one-time love interest Steve Curtis in the CBS sitcom, “Mom,” Richard — father to lead protagonists Leigh (Elizabeth Olsen) and Jules (Kelly Marie Tran) — in “Sorry for Your Loss,” and various characters in Netflix’s “The Valhalla Murders.” However, his most famous TV role may still be that of Duncan in the “Seinfeld” episode, “The Race.”
