GraphicDesignerHitsBrickWallFilter: Where can I purchase this image?
I'm wanting to use this image in a website design I'm working on.
Googling "man with megaphone" pulls it up on a few websites (also here, and at least one other spot that I've lost the link to) so I'm hoping it's a stock image that I can purchase somewhere. Alas, I've searched my regular stock image sites (Stock.XCHNG, iStockPhoto, Shutterstock, Dreamstime) as best I know how, with no luck so far.
Do any other designers out there have extra mad image-search skillz they'd be willing to share? Great stock sites (with super-great search engines?) that I'm missing from my go-to list? How else might I find the source of this rotten image so I might throw $$$ at its progenitor?

It looks a lot like Gregory Peck to me. Is it possible it's a still from a movie?

if you are unable to find a source, could you recreate & shoot it with your own photog? or, use this guy.

It looks quite a bit like the director in this 1925 photo: http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/3301037/
Since the image doesn't turn up in any of the logical keyword searches - either on google, getty or corbis - I'm betting that he's a much smaller part of a larger image/scene and the real photo you're after may not be keyworded with "bullhorn" "megaphone" etc at all, since he may play an insignificant role in the image. Just a guess though.
