William Fichtner is an American character actor known for roles in 'Heat', 'Armageddon', 'Black Hawk Down', and 'The Dark Knight', where his appearance directly links Nolan's film to Michael Mann's.
Fichtner's casting in both 'Heat' (1995) and 'The Dark Knight' (2008) creates a deliberate intertextual link between the two films — a Nolan Easter egg confirming Mann's film as the template for his own.
