I’m not Ferrante. #2’s not from Marathon Man, but it might be Frodo Baggins. If not, take a DQ. Take a DQ for #3 anyway.

Arthur Ferrante, indeed.

#3 was Peter Frampton, whose live album was entitled ‘Frampton Comes Alive’.

I had someone else in mind entirely, but Frodo could be a valid answer, so I’ll just try again in a bit.
DQ: Singer?

The Lord of the Dance is Michael Flatley

As you said, Morgan Freeman in The Shawshank Redemption, Driving Miss Daisy and Deep Impact

As you said, George Formby.

Hmm…

DQ: Born before 1950?

I don’t know about #1, #2 may be Frampton, but…
I was the living legacy to the Leader of the Band, Dan Fogelberg!
