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.
But he talked about it ALL THE TIME on his Table for Five show. Which was a really good show except for how he would always bring the conversation around to his own thespian career.
Probably why he lost the show. 😉
Marilu Henner did the same thing on her talk show. Drove me nuts.
A T.V. newsman, a pimp, a baseball player.
William Hurt
No.
Timothy Olyphant?
( _______, The Girl Next Door The Broken Heart’s Club. )
Sorry, there should be a comma between Door and The.
Nope.
Michael Keaton?
Hints:
1. He was Oscar-nominated for playing the newsman.
2. When he played the pimp, one of the actresses playing one of his ‘girls’ won the Oscar.
3. The movie where he played a baseball player is one of seven he’s made with the same writer-director.
Michael Keaton?
No.
I can’t think of the newsman role, but Tom Cruise?
I can’t think of the newsman role, but Tom Cruise?
Not it.
Well, I’m stumped.
This is so much harder without IMDb.
David Straitharn–Good Night and Good Luck, LA Confidential (Bassinger), Eight Men Out (Sayles)
Oh, NICE!
Yay, George!
All yours.
What would we do without George?
heh, just noticed. 68 = my birth year. kewl
a possibly promiscuous photographer, a devout angel-faced virgin, a bank-teller/call girl
I tuned in at just the right time today! Actually knew Straitharn once I read the clues, didn’t even need the Google for a change to be sure.
Lisa Bonet?
Not Lisa Bonet.
I am stumped for photographers. The only one I can think of is Faye Dunaway, but I doubt she’s ever been angel-faced and virginal.
That she’s a photographer isn’t a big issue in the film, and in fact her husband is the one taking more pictures in the film.
Here’s a clue: the films were released in 2007, 1987, and 1994
WAG: Susan Sarandon?
No, not Susan Sarandon.
Another clue: the most recent film she directed herself and her real-life parents play her character’s parents in the film.
And one more clue–this run of roles does not mention that she’s played the same character in 3 different films, one animated.
Reese Witherspoon?
No help. Sorry.
Christina Ricci?
No, not Reese Witherspoon.
She’s not American.
She’s been co-nominated for a best adapted screenplay Oscar.
Not Christina Ricci, either.
Very small rocks? Churches? A duck?
Huh?
George should be stoned now with copies of “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” in VHS, DVD and Blueray…
And he didn’t even try to look it up on IMDB. I am completely disillusioned now.
Sara Polley? Minnie Driver?
(If I get it right, continue on without me, I’m off for the day)
I’m not a witch, promise. Neither is she.
The bank teller movie her character is in the title. It costars an actor whose first prominent role made it hard to know what he actually looked like.
Sorry, neither Polley or Driver.
Julie Delpy in Two Days in Paris, The Passion of Beatrice, and Killing Zoe.
Melville, thank the GODS.
I couldn’t have gotten it without all the clues. I haven’t seen any of the three films. But the “co-nominated for a screenplay Oscar” and that she’s not American got me to Before Sunset, and I remembered reading a review of Two Days in Paris that mentioned she’d cast her own parents as a her character’s parents.
But you should have gotten the Monty Python joke! 🙂
Sorry that was so hard I’m such a Delpy fan I thought it was easy. But then I’ve seen “Two Days in Paris” relatively recently. I thought for sure the 3 films clue would be the give-away, since she and Hawke played their same characters from the Sunset/Sunrise films in “Waking Life” too.
The Python joke went over my head as I was so focused no helping you all say Delpy.
It was a great round. Congrats to all.
