  1. Not knowing much about Game of Thrones (no, really), I don't know if it would fit the clues, but it's not what I have in mind. During this show's run, one character was portrayed by two actors (a la Dick York/Dick Sargent). Another was portrayed by THREE actors. (Two of the latter three eventually wound up on Hee Haw!) Another actor contracted cancer during the run and was replaced by an actor playing a different role (a la William Frawley/William Demarest). The actors portraying a couple who got married during the show's run were actually a couple who got married during the show's run. The woman was the daughter of the show's creator. Not technically a spinoff, another show a couple of years later used many of the thematic elements of this show. The two crossed over occasionally. There was also a crossover with an earlier show. George
  2. Actually, those guys might all have played Hamlet, but that's not whom I'm looking for. Let's add a few more. Marlon Brando Ian Holm Rod Steiger Claude Rains Charles Boyer Armand Assante George
  3. I might have gotten it from the others, but the George Clooney/John Goodman pairing clinched it. George
  4. OK. Long enough. "Can't Get Next to You" by the Temptations. Fun to do all four voices in karaoke. New one: "Flew in from Miami Beach B.O.A.C." George
  5. Murder on the Orient Express (?) George
  6. "Death on the Nile"? George (Obviously an Hercule Poirot story.)
  7. Does this help? [falsetto] I can turn a grey sky blue. [bass voice] I can make it rain, whenever I want it to. George

  9. This is a famous character, and a lot of famous actors portrayed him, but I'm not sure any of them are really identified with the role: Marlon Brando Ian Holm Rod Steiger George
  10. It might be, if I knew what it means. Does one actor play two roles, and he only prepped for one of them? George
  11. Broke my heart We're apart Thinks she's smart I met a girl a month ago I thought that she would love me so But in time I realized She had a pair of roving eyes Pretty little girl you're just having fun You're running all around and breaking lover's hearts Pretty little girl, I don't stand a chance Without any money there goes our romance She always wears charms, diamonds, pearls galore She buys them at the five and ten cents store She wants to be just like Zsa Zsa Gabor Even though she's the girl next door George
  12. No. Let's add a line. "I can turn a grey sky blue. I can make it rain, whenever I want it to." George
  13. Natalie Portman Mars Attacks! Pierce Brosnan George
  14. No. Earlier movie. "I ain't no white trash piece of sh-t. I'm better than you all! I can out-learn you. I can out-read you. I can out-think you. And I can out-philosophize you. And I'm gonna outlast you. You think a couple whacks to my guts is gonna get me down? It's gonna take a hell of a lot more than that, Counselor, to prove you're better than me!" "It's not necessary to lay a foul tongue on me my friend. I could get upset. Things could get out of hand. Then in self defense, I could do something to you that you would not like, right here." "Are you my friend? Are you my friend?" "No I'm not your friend." "Well, see, I like to plan my comings and goings with friends, so if you're planning my comings and goings I'd call that presumptuous, in fact I'd call it downright rude." "We never spoke about what happened, at least not to each other. Fear, I suppose, that to remember his name and what he did would mean letting him into our dreams. And me, I hardly dream about him anymore. Still, things won't ever be the way they were before he came. But that's alright because if you hang onto the past you die a little every day. And for myself, I know I'd rather live." "If you hold on to the past, you die a little each day." "'I am like God, and God like me. I am as large as God, He is as small as I. He cannot above me, nor I beneath Him be.' Silesius, 17th Century." "Counselor! Come out, come out, wherever you are!" George
  15. Judge Reinhold Fast Times at Ridgemont High Phoebe Cates George
  16. Correct. Hackman responded to Reeve with the $2 million quote. Hackman didn't want to shave his mustache, but Donner tricked him into doing it. Additionally, Hackman refused to shave his head, so the final scene of the first Superman movie had him wearing a skull cap. In other scenes, he changed his hairstyle to give the impression that he was wearing different wigs. You're up! George
  17. One of the major stars of this film was notoriously lazy. He suggested that the cameras roll during rehearsals, because they "might get lucky" (meaning he wouldn't have to repeat a performance). He was also bad about memorizing lines. He delivers a key speech written on a baby's diaper. The actual star of the film was a relative unknown at the time and was actually third-billed in the credits and most promotional material. The first-billed star wanted so much money for the sequel that all his scenes in it were cut. (The movie and its sequel were filmed at the same time.) When the third-billed star asked the second-billed what his motivation was, he replied, "You mean besides the $2 million?" Initially, one star refused to cut off his mustache to play his character. In early one-sheets of the movie, his face is featured with a mustache. Before the director and the star met face-to-face, the director proposed to the star that if he would cut his mustache, the director would cut his too, and the star agreed. It turned out later that the director did not have a mustache at all. He wore a false moustache that he peeled off at the last moment. The star thought it a great joke. George
