Oh hello. Pretend the water is champagne and fill my glass again and again.

Am I? Ok. This actor or actress was in: Les Miserables (not the musical) Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Shine

I know nothing about the actors, but the details point to Gomer Pyle, USMC. The horrors of war not appropriate. Spun offfrom a popular show where he was only an occasional character (Andy Griffith) Lead went on to a variety show (Jim Nabors) Do the show without the lead (Mayberry RFD) Gomer Pyle, USMC. Final answer.

It's on Disney Plus if you have it, Vudu (which means you have to rent or buy it) if you don't.

Nothing to do with the shows themselves, but if you get a chance, Jeremy Jordan (Winn) plays the lead in the stage production of Newsies, which I believe is available on Netflix, but if you have to pay for it, I honestly recommend it.

Ok, there's a guy who was in Godzilla AND The River Wild who was also in Temple Grandin. So I looked up Temple Grandin, and the guy I'm thinking of is named David Strathairn.

I can see his face but I cannot tell you his name. Is it cheating if I look up the case of a movie or show I KNOW he's in, and get his name from there without confirming his filmography?

My last post was Big Foot and Wild Boy. I'm in no hurry. First one up goes...

Nora is, of course, Ray Palmer's real-life-wife. Kills it for me. She is gorgeous though. Anyway, the following comment is not related to anything, but if you had told me a year ago that the Godwin of Godwin's law would be one of my readers, one of my most loyal followers on Twitter and a friend on Facebook, I would have said you were crazy. But here we are.

For the record, The Archies was my guess, with Riverdale being the current series I referred to. Subsequent clue made it obvious (sugar sugar)

I will answer Monday if no one else gets it by then. And then if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

OMG, I actually know WW's!! At least, I think I do. There's a version currently on the air, isn't there?

Bigfoot and Wildboy Free post.

My apologies, gentlemen. I wrote the below right after WW posted his "A Few Good Men" alternative guess. No idea why it did not post. It was No Way Out Based on the novel The Big Clock, which was a movie in 1948 with the same general plot. No Way Out was filmed before The Untouchables but released after it. Costner and Gene Hackman were considered separately for the lead roles in The Fugitive. I could totally see it.

The remake was the first major starring vehicle for the lead actor, BUT it was released after his second major starring vehicle, which leads people to [reasonably] think of this as his second major role. He plays a naval officer framed by the Secretary of Defense, who murdered his mistress. The Secretary puts the naval officer in charge of finding another man seen leaving his mistress' apartment the night of the murder, not realizing the naval officer WAS that other man.

I knew something was my turn and could not remember which game. Here we are. This live action show was aimed squarely at children and aired on Saturday mornings. It was a drama filmed on location and on film (not videotape). It started as part of another show, so episodes were typically 15 minutes and ended in a cliffhanger. After it became its own series, 12 half-hour episodes were produced. Good luck finding it: a single collection has not been produced. You might be able to track down a few episodes by buying collections of the parent series. One of the title characters is (quite literally) legendary. The other is all but forgotten.

The remake is a more political thriller type. A man has a brief liaison with a woman who is the mistress of a very powerful Washington DC figure. Mr. Powerful kills the woman and wants to pin the murder and the other man, not knowing that man's identity. Using his position of influence, he puts the man, his underling, in charge of the search for the scapegoat. Basically, a killer hires a fall guy to find the fall guy, not knowing they are one and the same. In the original, the bigshot Washington DC type is a newspaper publisher.

Seriously? Ok, let's accept HWOB's answer for the sake of moving on. But DAMN!!! Claudette Colbert It Happened One Night Clark Gable

The only other Rodenberry series I can think of: Andromeda

Under the Boardwalk! Drifters

Rene Aberjonois (sp?) Star Trek VI: The Apology for Star Trek V Brock Peters Ok, there's an obvious route, and there's a more classic route. I'd be much obliged if you went the more classic route. But regardless, it's just a game

Damn that was quick. Yes. I thought Pleasantville and Seabiscuit would throw someone off to guess Tobey Maguire But as the Genie said, I'M FREE!!!! Your move.
