Mr. Man
Played by Ed Begley, Jr.
MR. MAN
is the mysterious contact for reporter Chris Christian. He calls her with compelling information as she continues to investigate the owner of the Clarke house, and eventually suggests she meet him there to gain information he cannot divulge over the phone.
Later, it turns out Sally has seen him at her restaurant, though she had no idea who he was. Of unknown age, medium height and build, he’s difficult to describe when an investigator later checks with Sally.
