Help with a character please, obscure though

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could please help me out with a very small scene and appearance of an actor I am having difficulty naming or finding anywhere else. It occurs near the 3/4 mark of the movie when all the cars are being stolen for the list. It is the older man who pulls up to have his car parked by the valet and says something along the lines of "now you take care of me son and ill take care of you" and then tips the valet .50$ using two quarters, lol. Then the carjacker basically kicks the guys wife out of the car and then steals it.

Could someone please help me out and tell me who that guy who tips the two quarters if they know.

It's pretty obscure I know, sorry, gl, and thank you all very much in advance.

I believe you're looking for Ken Jenkins: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0420898. He was uncredited in the movie, but is listed on IMDB as the Televangelist.

The dolphin is dead. Did you know this? Died in a car accident.

Awesome, thats exactly who I was looking for! He came into the restaurant I work at to have dinner with his grandsons and family a couple of nights ago. I was telling the story to some friends and couldn't find this guy anywhere or place where else I have seen him. Now I know where else I was thinking of him from.....doctor on Scrubs.

Anyway thanks a lot AlienHunter47, appreciate you taking the time to answer my inquiry.

You're welcome. Did he tip you fifty cents?

I'm from England so don't know that much about the US money system (apart from the obvious coins/notes) but I think that it wasn't 2 Quarters that he gives him, I believe they may have been 2 silver dollar coins which are worth a lot of money

No, they were quarters; that's one reason for the sarcasm from the thief.

Solid silver dollars are worth something depending on how old they are and the condition they are in among other things, but today's silver dollars are not all silver and are not really worth more than face value. A man that age would know the difference, and one that tight would not be giving away solid silver dollars.

Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.

I thought it looked more like 2 dimes.
