The "business man" chomping away on the cigar is the actor Robert Prosky from the movies Christine, Far and Away, and the Last Action Hero.

[@davidstafford4418]

He played the priest in Rudy

I spent the whole film wondering why we care so much about people betting.

[@tricitiesair]

We don't but the government does. It can't be taxed.

[@bmitch3137]

Because it was mainly black people that started and profited from it when it started and they didn't want black people having money in the early 20th century. Still don't...
