Fearless Leader was from Rocky and Bullwinkle.  In the movie, that was Bob DeNiro.  If that's who this is, you REALLY tried to find obscure roles!

They were.  You're right, Robert DeNiro.  When I thought of him, I was surprised to find so many movies with just a single name as the role, plus I figured I could take you for a ride.  :dance:If I were looking at the list Jack Walsh would have given it away.  Midnight Run.  You're up George.  (Just so you know George I wasn't really trying to mess with you I was just rolling with it).

Sometimes, it depends on where you look.  IMDb often gives only first names, while Wikipedia may give full names.

Just to say I tried it, PRINCE BARAN?

No.  Though Dalton did portray him.

Would someone please provide me a brief description of the game and its rules?

I can imagine modifications and updates along the way, but with 85 pages in this thread... well, it's too much straw to sort.

You have two options, here.  You can pick a character (movie and/or TV) and name three actors who portrayed that character.  E.g., Christopher Reeve, Brandon Routh, Henry Cavill --> Superman.  Voice actors in cartoons are allowed.  If no one gets it with three actors, add a few more.

Alternatively, you can choose three roles portrayed by a single actor.  E.g., John Nash, Jor-el, Javert --> Russell Crowe.  Again, voice work is acceptable.

In this case, I'm giving actor names; you must guess the character.

Ciaran Hinds               Rex Harrison              Jeremy Sisto

Timothy Dalton          John Gielgud             Cameron Mitchell

Louis Calhern             John Gavin                Sean Pertwee

Claude Rains               Ditch Davey              Karl Urban

*wild swing*  Alfred Pennyworth?   (I'm just spitballing, here...)

 

BTW, when giving hints, you should look up the answers so the clues are correct.  If you are guessing, you are unable to look anything up, because that's cheating.  If you feel you must look something up, you should announce you did and are out for the round. (If everyone is out, nobody can guess, so that's important.)

No.  This character was a real person (and predates Pennyworth by a couple of millennia).

I forgot that it's customary, in some circles, to use British actors to play ancient Romans. This is probably an ancient Roman.   I wish I could summon up some kind of list of roles Claude Rains played (without cheating.) 

 

How about "I, Claudius",  the title role?

Right church, wrong pew.  Much more famous than Claudius.
