Michael Pena must be the name of the actor in the movie. The guy without the name-tag.
If so, these actors played MISTER ROARKE (of Fantasy Island.)
Mrs Wolf and I liked both versions of the show. The first season of the original had Roarke with a hint of something sinister behind his role, which made him a LOT more interesting. We discussed what Roarke was, and what the island was. I don't know if the movie contradicted it-I haven't seen more than a clip or so yet- but Roarke seemed connected to the island, and may have been some kind of genie. He seemed to be a benefactor whose role it was to help people realize something about themselves- to gain some insight or something. The island seemed to have an actual island with actual workers, but (if the second show is to be believed) also had a number of people who were in a sort-of Purgatory state on the island, possibly working off something or there because they were stuck on Earth and that island was the only way they could have something resembling a normal life. Yes, we like to think these things through. We have fun that way. Hey, any chance Roarke was an Addams? That question just came to me now. ;)
In the first TV show, Roarke always wore a white suit. In the first episode of the second show, Roarke jettisons all his white suits and goes for black. In the movie -- white.
In the 2ns show, one episode showed him having a flashback. He wore the white suit in the flashback. BTW, in the first episode, he selected the one white suit and said to burn the others. Also, when the plane approached, and the guy rang the bell- "THE PLANE! THE PLANE!" Roarke told him that ONE hit of the bell was sufficient.

No need, William (Billy) Costigan is Leonardo DiCaprio. Rick Dalton is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Thank you. BTW, in "the Great Gatsby" we find out that Jimmy Gatz/ James Gatz is Jay Gatsby's real name. (In the De Caprio movie, it's "James", but "Jimmy" is how it's given in the book.)
Yes, Elle Driver was from Kill Bill. Darian Taylor was Charlie Sheen's (and Michael Douglas) girlfriend in Wall Street. Yes. You got it. It's Darryl (Young, now Neil Young's wife) Hannah.

He was looking for it to use as a clue in a game round a few weeks after he was looking for it. Meanwhile, I hope he posts the next one soon.

Well ... yeah. I was about 15 when it came out. (Saw it a couple of years later, when I was in college.) Fonda DID win the Best Actress Oscar for the performance. George

I thought I knew John Travolta's career better than that. I didn't recognize any of them until now and its only one name. Buford 'Bud' Uan Davis

Mister Roarke is correct..

Putting the whole thing in quotes made me think it was all quoted, and no new names were added.
"Pris" was in "Blade Runner." She was the little blonde played by.... DARRYL HANNAH, right?
Was "Elle Driver" from "Kill Bill?"
