The Hollywood veteran, known for his memorable role in the festive flick, kept a low profile while spotted out and about.
Hart Bochner, who is best known for playing Harry Ellis in Die Hard, looked nearly unrecognisable.
His cocky character in the famous film has an unfortunate run-in with terrorists, led by Alan Rickman, when he tries to negotiate with them.
The actor was pictured with a female friend as they dropped by the popular Brentwood Country Mart for lunch.
He sported a relaxed look with a grey T-shirt and a shiny grey-blue flight jacket featuring red and white stripes, paired with faded blue jeans and tan suede clogs.
His thick-framed eyeglasses added a bold touch.
Meanwhile, his companion matched the wintry vibe in a fleece-lined beige vest, acid wash denim skirt, and tasseled beige suede boots, accessorised with a woven leather handbag and striking sunglasses.
Known for his intense roles and gritty performances, Hart’s appearance has sparked interest among fans who recall his memorable part in the iconic action film.
Originally from Toronto, Canada, the actor capped off his 1970s career with a standout role in the acclaimed coming-of-age dramedy Breaking Away.
He starred alongside then-rising talents like Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern, and Jackie Earle Haley.
More recently, the actor has taken on recurring roles in the Miles Teller–starring, Nicolas Winding Refn–directed series Too Old to Die Young, as well as appearing in popular TV dramas like Criminal Minds and Scandal.
His mother Ruth was a concert pianist while his father Lloyd Bochner was an actor.
Hart also lent his voice to the character City Councilman Arthur Reeves in the 1993 animated film Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.
The role tied back to his father, Lloyd Bochner, who voiced Mayor Hamilton Hill in Batman: The Animated Series and its sequel, The New Batman Adventures.
