Let's Fire Up Those Neurons!

So, let's keep the neurons firing! Here's another puzzle before I disappear for a bit.

Task: Who is that handsome fellow in the B & W picture on the left?

I would be very surprised (& very impressed!) if you have heard of him, although he is worth hearing about, especially on IL. :rotfl

Of the clues, some point to said dude, one is confirmatory, and some may be interpreted as an oblique pointer, but included here more for amusement in a manner that will become clear with the answer. So, although relevant, you are better off recognizing and ignoring those, unless you are a search ninja. As always, it's easy if you don't overthink it. You don't need all the clues.

More clues as necessary.

 

Ooops sorry, I forgot that JAG's puzzle was still in play. Anyway, I'll leave this one on for those who are done with that one!

 

He's even more interesting than that - just you wait!
:biglaugh

 

All I found was a guy who sent me on a wild goose chase and thought OMG my search is like maze without an end and my neurons are now running amok. Anyhow never watched the movie. Now I landed up with a guy making me think about Tajmahal. Well I am sure I landed up with the wrong answer, but have to thank IL, because I found some one else who will be remembered by me.

 

Sound fun... Great going....The answer is "floor" in Tamil... "Tharai"

 

Thinking of a person as answer to JAG puzzle, not sure though.

For soka puzzle still :spin. But thanks to him I read about an another guy.

But I have to quit for now, as I am already :bang with my exam topics.

 

This is confusing. Is the photo of the puzzle-person's namesake?
