  1. I'll go with the Poirot I know: Peter Ustinov? George
  2. I can "hear" a solo male voice singing this, and even get most of the melody, but I can't think of the singer or title. George
  3. You are good! Yes, Deep Space 9. How did you know that Siddig was McDowell's nephew? George
  4. Malcolm McDowell once said he'd like to appear on this show, but only if his nephew), would direct the episode. Such a chance was offered in season five, episode eighteen, "Business as Usual", but never materialized due to scheduling conflicts. One character was originally envisioned as a young Clint Eastwood type. When one actor was called in for his audition, the casting director told him that none of the previous actors had been "grouchy enough". So the actor improvised his lines using his most gravelly voice, and secured the role. The character's scoff eventually became such a character trademark that the screenwriters would often script it into his lines. One of the characters (my personal favorite) was inspired by certain John le Carré spy novels, particularly "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy". George
  5. Do you have some sort of dysphasia? It is, obviously, Hamlet. I'll give it to you. George
  6. I'm guessing Peter O'Toole. Clearly, it isn't the star of any of the films. George
  7. I was thinking "Forrest Gump," but that was before Walsh died. And, though Sally Field had been working a long time, she was only ten years older than Tom Hanks. Got nothing, for now. George
  8. No. The cheery Jesus ("Buddy Christ") was a creation of George Carlin's character in "Dogma." He thought it was awful that the representation of our Savior was always such a downer. George
  9. This one seems quite familiar.... George
  10. Kenneth Branagh Mel Gibson Laurence Olivier Ethan Hawke George Mackay Giorgi Megrelishvili George
  11. The "other Boleyn girl": Scarlett Johannson George
  12. Bryan Brown Full Body Massage Mimi Rogers George
  13. I remember that there was a Man from UNCLE episode of the A-Team. I think it was even called "The UNCLE Affair," with each segment given an Act number (as per TMFU). By that time Robert Vaughn was overseeing the A-Team. David McCallum was an old associate, who, IIRC, turned out to be the bad guy. The Girl from UNCLE was the spinoff. I don't know that I'd call it a rival organization, but the bad guy organization was THRUSH. I don't know about the movies, but I'm going with The Man from UNCLE. George
  14. I don't mind being credited with the assist, but you made the shot. George
  15. Yes. "Free Enterprise" is about a couple of ~30-year-olds, both big sci-fi fans. One has a steady job, the other is more of a gadabout. They meet and befriend Bill Shatner (playing himself) in a library. It's actually quite cute. Rent it, or stream it, or whatever you kids do today. George
  16. Loaded Weapon 1 Miss Congeniality Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story Free Enterprise George
  17. No. If Raf doesn't give the answer, I'll be forced to use obvious movies. George
  18. More than half the fan mail for this series could not conceivably be read by its addressee. I can see four reasons for this: The addressee was very young The addressee was illiterate The addressee was of a different nationality from most of his fans The addressee was blind. The first is rather unlikely. Why would anyone send fan mail to someone too young to read? (For that matter, how would anyone that young have a major role in a TV series?) The second is possible, though if he can't read fan mail, he can't read scripts. The third is possible, as some shows do very well overseas. The fourth is also possible, though, unless the fans didn't KNOW he was blind, why would they send him mail? Ruminating... George
  19. Interesting, but no. You're all VERY familiar with this actor, but not from these movies. He was not the star of any of them, but they were more than just cameo roles. George
  20. Nope. Unfortunately, almost any other movie I could give (except Miss Congeniality 2) would immediately give it away. So let's see if Raf or WW can get it. George
  21. Loaded Weapon 1 Miss Congeniality Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story George
