Eagle-eyed reader Adam Cooper of the Cooperific blog has brought to our attention a throwaway cameo on this week’s hilarious Curb Your Enthusiasm episode. In it, Larry David finds himself in a dilemma when, while trying on pants at Banana Republic, the fire alarm goes off. Forced to leave his pants inside, he flees the store with the other customers.

But whoa boy. Hold on a moment. There. In the lumberjack beard… that man. He looks like a man I once knew on film. Why, stop us if you’ve heard this before, but is that Ben Affleck shopping at Banana Republic on Curb Your Enthusiasm?

Indeed. It is. We’re kind of liking the Nicholson neck beard he’s rocking. But we wonder: Was Affleck just coincidentally at Banana/in the area the day they were taping? Or did he have to audition for the role? Either way, as Affleck usually does: Nailed it.
