Today it’ll be a round robin, and it’s guess the actor.
I’ll start.
A historical bandit. A professional reader. A mentor to a younger spy.
Robert Redfort (Sundance Kid, 3 Days O’Condor, that movie with Brad Pitt).
I couldn’t think of the name of the Brad Pitt movie either.
You’re up.
Sorry…was tied up for a bit. Here goes:
Queen, clairvoyant, suburban housewife on the run
“The movie with Brad Pitt” is Spy Games.
The answer to Tom’s question is Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth or Elizabeth: The Golden Age; The Gift; couldn’t figure out the third).
The third is surely Bandits.
Bandits it is.
Bill, you’re up!
OK:
An insurance fraud, excessively neat, excessively grumpy.
I’ll make it easier: In each of these three roles, this actor had the same co-star.
Didn’t need the extra hint, it’s Jack Lemmon, co-starring with Walter Matthau: The Fortune Cooke, The Odd Couple, Grumpy Old Men.
(1) He may or may not be an alien
(2) He dies at the beginning and then we go back
(3) He may or may not have a limp
Kevin Spacey. Don’t recall the name of the first movie; American Beauty; and Usual Suspects.
K-PAX.
Yep. Go.
Card sharp; shoplifter; food writer.
Barbara Stanwyck?
(The Lady Eve, Remember the Night, Christmas in Connecticut.)
Well done!
Thank you!
A witch; a penguin; a witch.
Nicole Kidman (Practical Magic, Happy Feet, Bewitched)
All you.
Nicole Kidman (Practical Magic, Happy Feet, Bewitched)
Oops! Too late!
The President of the USA, a songwriter, an actor.
I feel like I should know this one. But I can’t identifiy the roles.
Wild stab in the dark. Kevin Kline
Hints: 1.It’s a fictional president
2.A real-life songwriter.
3. He plays an actor in 2 movies. One it’s a real-life actor, the other fictional.
Your stab is correct!
Does anyone want to guess the movies?
Wow. That’s… wow… Ummm….
Okay, for mine:
A lawyer, a football player, A bodyguard
The first movie is “Wild Wild West” playing Ulysees S Grant
The third movie is Soapdish for one of them.
Dave, De-Lovely, and Chaplin.
Or Dave, De-Lovely and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Yes (Daven) and yes(Bill). I wasn’t thinking of Wild Wild West, but I guess it’s correct to say he was playing a fictional president when his character disguised himself as Grant.
@Evn, he wasn’t playing an actor, he was playing a miller who became an actor, although I guess it would count.
Point for Evn, too. Hadn’t thought of that, but he is playing Bottom, who is in a play.
Need hints?
I do. Too many lawyer roles, and I can’t think of any bodyguards besides Kevin Costner.
Daven, is the answer George Clooney?
1. in two of the listed roles, he was in the same sub-genre of Action movies.
2. He played a football player in two separate films, one of which I’m watching right now. However, in the noted film, he was also a cop
3. He had a talk show for a while
@ Evn. Nope. Sorry.
My head exploded.
If it goes till 2:30 CT, I’ll call it and come up with another one.
Is it Jon Favreau (Rudy is on AMC right now)?
And would the other movies be Daredevil and Iron Man (superhero subgenre)?
EXCELLENT!!! Yes, that’s the very person.
Guess the films? Rudy was not one of them.
I think Mel is a special kind of a genius for checking TV listings.
Then would the football movie be The Replacements?
Yes, the Replacements is one of my all time favorite movies.
Tag, you’re it.
I think Mel is a special kind of a genius for checking TV listings.
I’m home today (caught a cold in yesterday’s snow), so I just had to turn on the TV and flip though the channels.
Deborah, I honestly thought that clue wouldn’t matter since Jon played a very minor role in there. He was only on screen about 5 times.
