Yeah, but come on, that describes a shit-ton of musicians and actors out there. To pin it down to this specific guy is damned impressive. ---

You need to move Payne from 8th to 5th in the rankings list (the number is a bit off). ---

Sinwar has four picks and is born sometime in October, according to material I saw. He’d be good for 38 points. ---

Wikipedia says 24th October and 61 , so 39 points by a whisker, but happy to take 38, I’d take 0 to be honest just glad he is gone. ---
