I need to take a break from the malfeasance the Trump Administration is perpetrating daily, so let’s have a quiz!
I’m going to name 10 movie or TV characters (all men this time; I’m going to make one of these for women too). You tell me who played the character and in what movie or TV show. All of these actors either won or were nominated for Academy Awards, Tonys or Emmys, although not necessarily for these roles; they are not obscure.
I’ll provide the answers in the next post.
Ready?
- J Pierpont Finch
- Roger Thornhill
- Joe Bradley
- Joe Clay
- Max Cady
- Rowdy Yates
- Bert the friendly cop in “It’s a Wonderful Life”
- LCDR Quinton McHale
- Col. Andrea Stavrou
- Curly Washburn
2. Carry Grant
6. Clint Eastwood?
7. Ward Bond?
8. Ernest Borgnine
10. Jack Palance?
