I'm not 100% sure of the first two. However, I know for a fact that Patrick Stewart was one of few people who played the eponymous role in "the Canterville Ghost."
Wordpup had to read the story in school, so we read it as well. Then we watched the movie that was loosely inspired by the book. It has very little in common, IMHO, and I like the movie better. Oscar Wilde, IMHO, was being cutesy when he wrote the story, and was trying to make a joke (he succeeded.) With the movie, they were trying for more substance than that (and succeeded.) I'm not saying either was truly noteworthy, but I'm glad I sat through the movie once.
So, since Patrick Stewart's played Shakespeare lots of times, and had no trouble playing Prospero (who's not that far from Merlin), I'm thinking I've just forgotten he's played Merlin.

The Hobbit, perhaps? George

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

It's sort-of a sequel. It's not labeled as one, but it can easily be considered a sequel. AFAIK, it takes place afterwards with at least 1 character from the previous movie. Just don't kill yoursel

With "Robin and the 7 Hoods", I was going to guess Frank, but he wasn't in Cannonball Run 1.

Except that this thread is not Three Actors or Three Roles, hence my earlier question.

Cleaning up the error:
Dune, Jeffrey, A Christmas Carol.
Same answer.

I would have been okay with it, as long as WW posts correctly. I think we've all made that mistake, once or twice.

Can only be one person.
Damned if I know his name, though.

I haven't seen Midnight Madness. I can't think of any overlap between the other two movies, either.

In the interest of making this reasonable, I'll settle for a decent description of him.

Prototypical nerd. Glasses. Pocket protector. Squeaky voice. The works. "Central casting? Yeah, send the nerd over." That guy.
