No. Depending on who you are, any of those other names might be a giveaway. For me, the second would be it, for you, it's actually the very first name... once you remember the character's nickname.
Alan Tudyk. Obviously "Wash" of Firefly/Serenity. Steve the Pirate is also a giveaway. Had you gotten to Harry Vanderspeigle (his role in Resident Alien), I would have gotten it from that, as well.

Correct. Wat was from "A Knight's Tale." I recognized him in the role, but didn't know the name. But I definitely would have gotten Vanderveer Wayne Junior from the short-lived TV show "Powerless." I think Mrs Wolf and I might have been the only people who liked the show.

Was "Powerless" the short-lived DC show about regular humans in a DC universe? If so, I liked it too...

Ok, but the 3 of us weren't enough viewers to sustain the show, apparently. BTW, if you didn't pay attention, you'd think Alan Tudyk played Vanderveer Wayne. VW is a really, really obscure character from Batman comics, and is largely remembered because of this TV show.
He was seen once, in 1962, back when Bill Finger was still working on "Batman."
I like the trivia.
"The exact relationship between Van Wayne and Bruce Wayne is not explained -- they are just "cousins". They cannot be first cousins, because Bruce's father Thomas Wayne's only sibling is Philip Wayne, who had no children."
Obviously VW is related to Thomas Wayne and not Martha, because Martha became a Wayne by marriage. In the Silver Age (pre-Crisis), her surname was never given. (Newer continuity said it was "KANE", which suggests a bunch of other blood relations.)
Now that I'm scrutinizing it, just how VH is related to Bruce is a good question. Other than Martha and Bruce, Thomas had the following known relatives... Bruce N. Wayne, Silas Wayne, Elwood Wayne, and Philip Wayne.
Bruce's "Uncle Philip" might not have BEEN a Wayne, he might have been Martha's brother. However, the "Who's Who" entry for him settled that and said his last name was "Wayne." "Uncle Philip" was in charge of Bruce following the deaths of Thomas and Martha. He was a businessman who traveled a lot, so Mrs Chilton really raised him- Philip's housekeeper. (No, only Alfred Pennyworth ever learned her estranged son whom she never talked about was "Joe Chill" who shot the Waynes in the pre-Crisis continuity.) Some other obscure story showed a young Bruce with foster-parents under "Dr Wayne", which, QED, points to Philip Wayne being a Dr Wayne. (PhD or MD, I don't know, I don't care enough to dig any further.)
Elwood Wayne was introduced as an old man who basically arrived to read his will and drop dead in one issue... but the Waynes who attended included Wilhemina Wayne, who made her only appearance.

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

Two Ses in Janssen, but otherwise correct. "Kamala" was her character in STNG "The Perfect Mate."

Silas Wayne was an ancestor, and a silversmith.
Thomas Wayne Jr was 3 years older than Bruce, and believed dead.
https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Thomas_Wayne,_Jr._(Earth-One)
Bruce N. Wayne was a private detective who appeared once in 1957 and has largely been forgotten. But Bruce Wayne was named after him.https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Bruce_N._Wayne_(Earth-One)
(At least in continuity. In history, Batman was introduced decades earlier, of course
Where does VW fit in? No idea, I stopped caring about 5 minutes ago....
