Just "Sister Golden Hair." You're up. George -
No. This is Henry Golding's first movie; he was only a travel show host before this, but was introduced to the project after a producer met a studio accountant in Singapore, who suggested his name. However, Henry turned down to audition for the role several times as he did not think he was good enough for the part and believed a "legitimate" actor would be better suited. It was not until the director, Jon M. Chu, reached out to him via a mutual Facebook friend that he was finally convinced to do the part. The tiger in the foyer of the mansion was an interesting movie prop. Per the Hollywood Reporter, "The mansion's taxidermied tiger was problematic. The best specimen was in London, and the production designer realized he'd have trouble getting it across international borders. Instead, he hired sculptors in Thailand, to create a tiger out of foam and fur, only to have it held up in Thai customs because agents thought it was the real thing. 'We finally got it installed the night before we filmed the scene,' he says." The author of the book on which the movie is based has been charged with draft dodging in his native Singapore. He is liable to a fine of up to $10,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 3 years upon conviction. As of October 2018, the film had grossed over $235 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing romantic comedy in a decade. George

Off by 1. George -
He's Bill Murray's cousin (I think). He was the head caddy in Caddyshack, and also appeared in Christmas Vacation and did a stint on SNL: George

There was a lawsuit brought by the makers of a movie that shared a number of elements with the series. The jury found they were too similar, but a federal judge overruled them and said there was a "striking difference in the dramatic mood of the two works." I would guess "Stalag 17," which predated HH by about a decade. George

You go ahead. Songs in this thread are usually a bit more challenging, but they don't have to be. George

Now to see if I can get one in under the 66 kB limit: Yes, apparently. George -
Most of the other actors were young at the time, except "Al Bundy." George

I recognize a couple of the titles, but I haven't seen any of the movies. George

I'm a Believer I just put a line in "Name That Tune," thinking it was this thread. So, here's another: "You just slip out the back, Jack." George -

Born to be WIIIIIIIIIIILD! "Well, I tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen. Pour myself a cup of ambition." George (This might not be QUITE as easy as some of the others. But it WAS featured in the most recent Supergirl episode. Assuming it wasn't dubbed, Dreamer sings pretty well!) -
I know Will Patton by sight, but I could only think of TV shows he's been in. Until your clue. No Way Out Sean Young Stripes George

And was it a disappointment. I don't mind the lighter mood, but the "Legends" now comprise four characters I could recognize (who no longer wear costumes, unless you count Constantine's trenchcoat) and five who were made up specifically for the show. It seems that the plot thread for this season will be Sara and Garry lost in space-time, with the magical chaos in their wake being cleaned up by the others. Can we just say that Crisis brought back Vandal Savage? I think I'm even appreciating Bebo more... At least the women are easy on the eyes. George
