This photograph was taken in early 1941, in California.
Can anyone identify who it is?

The phone looks like a Western Electric 302, which was introduced in 1936. www.digitallydo.com/phone/we.html
The pack of cigarettes looks to be Lucky Strikes
The typewriter looks like it could be a Remington Noiseless Portable #N41852
Unfortunately I don’t have a clue on the person.

It's a bit too 'washed' to be sure (needs more contrast), but he reminds me a lot of Bertrand Russell.

Three things make me doubt it is Russell. The nose is different, Russell’s is thinner but more pronounced the hair, in all the photos I have seen of Russell he sports an impressive mane of white hair and it had not thinned in his 1950 photo on Wikipedia, and he is smoking a cigarette and there is no pipe paraphernalia, in my experience people don’t switch back and forth between the two forms of tobacco.
Russell’s chin was distinctive but the angle of the photo does not show a good angle.

My daughter, the almost PhD in Creative Writing, says this man is the love child of Boris Pasternak and Nabokov. I take no responsibility for this suggestion.
I do say the look is all wrong for Russell---especially that bottom lip and the lack of hair.
