Our first exposure to Billy Crudup was his playing a sweet-faced '70s junkie with an unprintable nickname in the gentle, mournful 1999 indie flick "Jesus' Son." His big break came a year later, when he portrayed fictional band Stillwater's show-stealing "guitar player with mystique" in Cameron Crowe's '70s-rock odyssey "Almost Famous." We assume that Crudup's shaggy locks and 'stache were less useful for his latest role as the blue-skinned, government-contracted superhero Dr. Manhattan in Zack Snyder's long-awaited version of cult-comic "Watchmen."

Off-screen, 40-year-old Crudup generally eschews Hollywood convention by dressing age-appropriately in casual jeans, comfortable plaid shirts and snug sweaters. Basically, he looks really comfortable. Even a little like your dad. Here's how to get that style, without prematurely aging.

California Fleece Thermal-Lined London Hood in Brown/Light Pink
Seeing as Crudup was rocking his outdoorsy outfit in snowy Park City, Utah, for the Sundance Film Festival, we figure you'll want something toasty warm to emulate it. Try this thermal-lined brown hoodie from American Apparel ($50 from American Apparel)

Spiewak Barton Flight Jacket in Walnut Brown
Crudup's look is all about simple, unflashy all-American-style pieces. New York-based Spiewak, which has been producing workwear and military jackets for over 100 years, knows a thing or two about those. ($87 from Zappos.com)
