  1. The Fabulous Baker Boys Michelle Pfeiffer Tequila Sunrise George
  2. No. The battles mentioned in the first clue were all major WWII battles (Pacific theater). Even George Peppard wasn't old enough to have fought in WWII. The actor mentioned in the first clue was born in 1923. The other stars were born in 1930 and 1931. As America was engaged in a war at the time of this show, many viewers wrote to ask why the characters remained stateside. The producers of the show (quite reasonably, IMHO) did not feel that the horrors of war were appropriate for this show. One of the stars of this series could not pass the US Marine Corps physical during World War II, and ended up serving in the U.S. Army. During his service he distinguished himself by taking part in 14 assault landings, including Leyte, Luzon, Bataan and Corregidor. The same star, in his role, had the following decorations: Bronze Star (2), Purple Heart, Navy Presidential Unit Citation (2), Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal (3), World War Two Victory Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Korean Service Medal (4 Campaigns), U.N. Service Medal, and a Korean Presidential Unit Citation. In addition, he wears Expert Rifleman and Expert Pistol marksmanship badges. The main star of the show's character was spun off from a very popular show at the time. George
  3. Morrison was tapped for Charlie Sheen's role. Yes. Platoon. George
  4. There's a chance, but it's a very small one. (In other words, it is not Catch-22.) Once I start naming actors, it will probably give it away, but... According to the director, he intentionally cast Tom Berenger and Willem Dafoe against type (Berenger, who played the ruthless, sadistic Sergeant Barnes, was mostly famous at that point for playing good guys, while Dafoe, who had primarily played villains up until then, played the heroic, compassionate Sergeant Elias). The casting worked, and both men received Oscar nominations for their work. The author wrote the first draft of this movie in 1971, and sent it to Jim Morrison in hopes that he would play the part that another actor would ultimately play. Morrison had the script on him when he was found dead in Paris. In many U.S. military leadership classes, the character of Lieutenant Wolfe is used as an example of how not to behave as a junior officer. During the filming of one scene in a helicopter, the helicopter banked hard, and one of the stars almost fell out. Another star grabbed him just in time. George

  7. I'm not sure what Human means by withdrawing from play. Since Strathairn is the answer, it only matters if Raf was "cheating." I agree with WW that looking up an actor's photo (in a movie or TV role not mentioned in the clue) just to get his name is NOT cheating. In a related thread (Triple Movie Links), when the final clue was "Meet Joe Black," I believed Brad Pitt to be in it, so I IMDb-ed Brad Pitt, and found that I was correct. (I sometimes get him confused with Leo DiCaprio and Matt Damon.) I don't consider THAT cheating, though I would have considered it cheating to IMDb "Met Joe Black." Raf's up. George
  8. Patrick Warburton Get Smart Steve Carrell George
  9. Brad Pitt Once upon a Time in Hollywood Margot Robbie George
  10. I don't think it's Armageddon. Let's try Deep Impact. George
  11. Ryan O'Neal Paper Moon Tatum O'Neal George
  12. Patrick Stewart Star Trek: Generations Malcolm McDowell George
  13. Not getting this one, either. George
  14. Got it in one. (Which is good, because there really isn't much about the show online.) When Carter Nash first took his potion, the resulting explosion blew off most of his outer clothes, leaving his long johns and a belt with a CN belt buckle. When asked what CN stood for, and not wanting to give away his identity, he said, "Captain Nice." (Much to his mother's dismay.) You're up.
  15. OK. Well, we had a guy who used to answer all the puzzles but refuse to put up any of his own. I don't want to be that guy. This show hasn't been mentioned in this topic since 2013, so it's safe to give it a go: This 1967 NBC show was an attempt to cash in on the popularity of Batman. It only lasted 15 episodes. The character was not the Flash, although he was a police scientist in his secret identity. A potion he developed gave him his powers. He was a super-hero mostly because his mom wanted him to be one.

  16. Otherwise known as FREE POST. George
  17. Damian Darhk is Hitler. George (OK. I had no idea what Godwin's Law was, so I just looked it up.)
