  1. He might be described as "big-boned..." It does indeed SOUND Vulcan, but is definitely NOT.
  2. Here's the next one. ===================== Edwin Flagg William Howard Taft Big Sam Hollis Deputy Alvin Potts Sorak 'Diamond' Jim
  3. Lauren Bacall can get her own ham sandwich. This was "HUMPHREY BOGART."
  4. Avengers 2-Age of Ultron (the Vision/JARVIS) Don Cheadle Oceans 11
  5. A separate issue was vpw's heavy drinking. vpw drank. A LOT. ALL THE TIME. When he visited places FOR THE WEEKEND, a local or localS were tasked to supply his favorite booze. As in "He can't go for a weekend without a drink, and he's not paying for his own, so you supply it out-of-pocket." That's why we all know what he drank (and smoked, since he was a chronic smoker, also.) Why does this matter for this thread? It's known that some people with a psychological problem or a psychiatric problem will "self-medicate" with alcohol to "drown their sorrows." So, did vpw have some problem he drank to alleviate? I think it was the other possibility. vpw seemed a nice guy when he was drunk, but could be mean, especially when he was short on alcohol. I think the drinking wasn't to alleviate an overt problem. Rather, I think the drinking WAS the overt problem, and if he didn't give himself alcoholism, and wasn't sloshed a lot of the time, the mood-swings would have been a LOT less dramatic. I think he still was a sociopath and would have yelled in between chats and thought nothing of it, but I think the actual mood-swings would have been a lot less common. Yes, I think he was a stew of a FEW different problems, but they aren't so many they can't be understood.
  6. Ok, a non-political link for an introduction to Narcissistic Personality Disorder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy I think vpw showed plenty of signs of psychopathy. The most telling, to me, is that he could easily chat with someone, turn, scream at someone else, then turn back to the first person and resume a calm chat without the slightest bump. Neither of the people counted as human beings to him, as equals, so he felt nothing to verbally abuse someone, and could do it while having tea or chatting.
  7. I'll answer it after I bring Baby her ham sandwich....
  8. Voice actor roles count. You've heard him play a major role in 3 different movies (technically 4), and seen him in a 4th wearing makeup (he also had a voice role in the same movie, technically), and a 5th movie is currently in production with the same role (which would not count for this thread, but may help you think of the role.)
  9. That's him. I remember him because he played a number of roles during that time. He was in an episode of "the Odd Couple" as a wrestler from China, and was in 2 episodes of "MASH" as 2 different characters. http://mash.wikia.com/wiki/Jack_Soo
  10. Now, if I could just remember ONE film ANY of them were in, not a TV show..... Got it-what was his name? Alan Tudyk A Knight's Tale PAul Bettany (Chaucer!)
  11. No, post the answer. If you remembered Keye Luke, you remembered an answer at least as difficult.
  12. Chuk Mai Chin Charlie Lee Kim Chung Quoc Sam Quong Joe Lee Sing-Ho Tai'ske Bruce Chan Red Star Colonel Cai Detective Nick Yemana He was part of the principal cast of a television show when he died. As he was being wheeled to the operating room, he told one of the other actors "It must have been the coffee." In context, it was a memorable joke. (Both Mako and this actor did of esophageal cancer. Coincidence? Common bad genes? No idea.) His legal name was "Goro Suzuki," which does not remind me of his stage name.
  13. This one was "THE MONSTER SQUAD." Take it, Hw/oB.

  15. No, but perhaps I should have used him for sheer number of roles. Mako Iwamatsu passed away 10 years ago, after a long career, and used his legal name. The actor I chose did not, and passed away a considerable time before that- although both actors did appear in MASH, but in different episodes.
  16. Chuk Mai Chin Charlie Lee Kim Chung Quoc Sam Quong Joe Lee Sing-Ho Tai'ske Bruce Chan Red Star Colonel Cai In almost all his roles, he was not a regular, but someone who appeared for one episode. With the exception, he stayed in the role as a regular, but had to stop acting due to dying inconveniently to his career.
  17. You want a career acting, you play to your strengths. Christopher Walken's a trained song-and-dance man, but he's not going in for those roles most of the time-not if he wants the job. (But if you want to see him dance, look up Fatboy Slim's video for "Weapon of Choice.")
  18. No, but at this rate, the current guy should be guessed soon. More roles later today.
  19. "Hey Fat Kid! Good job." "My name... is Horace!" "So what's German for 'please don't murder us'? " 'Bitte uns nicht Mord zu tun.'" [bTW, Bing Translator says that should be "Bitte morden sie nicht uns," and the other was "please do not murder."] "BOGUS!" "You're not a virgin are you? 'No'? What do you mean 'No'?" "Well, Steve... but he doesn't count." "DOESN'T COUNT???" "I thought they killed him in the last one." "They did, he returns from the grave." "He always returns from the grave. If they blew him up, put his head in a blender and mailed the rest of him to Norway, he would still return from the grave!" "That was part 7." "No, Sean! Scary house! Real monsters! Us, twelve years old, remember?" "Midnight, end of the world, remember?" "That's it, Del. This case is too hard, man, Let's be firemen instead." "I'm glad you're gettin' major laughs outta this, Rich. The problem is two-thousand year-old dead guys do not get up and walk away by themselves." "Rudy find some silver bullets." "Where the hell am I suppose to find silver bullets?" "I don't know. Fat kid, get a map, find Shadowbrook Road." "What, do I look in the index for "big scary mansion?" " "See? Told ya. Only one way to kill a werewolf." "See ya later, Band-Aid Breath!" " So let me get this straight. You're telling me there was this two-thousand year-old mummy here, right? But now he's not here. He's gone. Vanished. History. And you're saying you didn't hear anybody come in here or leave, is that right?" "I heard my dad talking on the phone to a guy down at the police station tonight. There was a guy down there screaming he was a werewolf, and they shot him! And the body disappeared from the coroner van, the coroner guy was dead!" "So what? He got shot and the werewolf took his body?" "No you bean head! He WAS a werewolf! Maybe." "Yeah but if they shot him?" "It must've been regular bullets, not silver ones. Look I know this sounds stupid, a mummy disappeared from the museum tonight." "Mummy came in my house!" "Guys, Dracula might be here too." "Wolfman's got nards!" That should be the giveaway, although I would have gotten it from the first quote I posted.
  20. A good way to double-check without cheating is to do a check on the actor you want to link from- once you have another movie in mind. That way, you're not using it to get ideas on which movie to link out from, and you can check if he was in the previous turn's movie without checking their actual cast. Once I looked up "the Big Easy", I was locked into the 3 actors I remembered first, and could not have used any other without cheating, even if I remembered them independently.
  21. Ok, looking for an actor. Let's see who can remember him and name him. (I hope someone can...) Chuk Mai Chin Charlie Lee Kim Chung Quoc
  22. I think calling in Mrs [player] is fine so long as she's cited as giving the answer. HOWEVER, William Hurt was NOT in "the Big Easy." Me, I remember 3 actors in that, one was Barkin. I'm blanking on another movie with the other headliner, so I'm going with Ned Beatty Superman II Terrence Stamp EDIT: *slaps forehead* Now I remember one. No wonder I kept confusing the cast of "the Big Easy" with the cast of "Undercover Blues." I just thought it was that they were both set in New Orleans.
  23. I'm thinking the newspaper magnate should be William Randolph Hearst, but I don't know of any movie that covered him. (I think there was one, but I can't call up a coherent memory of it.) I don't think Howard Hughes ever was one.
