Reinventing oneself for intended purposes. Yet, still, talk fast, stacato, and sell the product.

 This is James Schultz, looking like a young Robert McNamara:

 He's the successful alum St. Thomas touts, among others. And he remains the same man:

Harvard Law School graduate James Schultz ’08 currently serves as in-house counsel for global investment firm Värde Partners. His work spans a wide range of services from purchasing and investment, to leasing office space, to looking at regulations to ensure his firm is compliant with applicable law.

He credits his time at St. Thomas with helping to form his mind, not just for lawyering but as a lifelong learner.

“[Catholic studies] develops in its students the ability to think about the world rigorously and with an authentically broad perspective. Those habits of thought apply to nearly every bit of work I do day to day.” Schultz noted that he reads 60-plus books a year, and that “This starts with the faculty who themselves are examples of a lifelong pursuit of truth.”

YET -

Now he's "Jim," dressing humbly, ditched the McNamara glasses and the big office halo. Fast talker, back in the suit for PBS, with the focus changed - corporate no longer; and Wardlow wrong on "Jim's" anti-abortion bona fides chops. AND - Crime oh my! Oh my!

As said, he remains the same man. 

 Next an image collage. On tour, rural Minnesota. An Everyman, meeting folks?

However, here's the end where you can see who posted the ad; and this link allows you to see the entire preparatory commentary to reach the famous final scene.
