Ok, let’s see… DQs : since you’re not movie exclusive, were you also in a TV series ? Are you a cartoon/animated character ? IQs : Are you a diminutive political leader who’s also something of a dick ? Are you a gay embalmer ? Are you a black doctor whose juvenal record got him hired at a prestigious hospital ? Are you a sassy, fast-talking cop often involved in fish-out-of-water scenarii ? ---

DQs: I was also in a television series. I am not a cartoon character. IQs: I can’t think of any diminutive leaders apart from Bonaparte (who wasn’t really that short, anyway), so have another DQ. I am not **David Fisher**. I am not **Dr. Eric Foreman**.

DQs: I am married (but I did so quite late in life), but I have never been portrayed as middle-aged. (AFAIK) Recap: I am male and fictional I am not from a book I was in a movie but not exclusively so. I was created prior to 1990. I am considered humorous. I was also in a television series. I am not a cartoon character. I was not in a play. I am married (but this occurred quite late in my “life”) I have (to the best of my knowledge) never been quite portrayed as middle-aged. ---

Not Lord Farquaad then. But I have no idea what question would narrow the field 😕 Let’s try this : Have you died ? IQs : Were you originally meant to be a secondary, background character but quickly gained much more popularity than the main cast ? Are you a psychiatrist who started off in a first series, then got his own spin-off series ? Are you a runaway from an abusive father who don’t talk English too well, mainly ? Are you an ugly little flirtatious twerp who often comments on how hot the female lead is, often in purposefully inappropriate ways ? ---

Huckleberry Finn and Melvin Frohike (one of the Lone Gunmen from the X-Files). Now I’ve got two more DQs, no idea where to aim them and not a clue who you might be. Grrreat. Are you a main character ? Have you been played by different actors ? ---

I am a main character. I have always been played by the same actor. ---

Ha, I have no clue, take a DQ. > [@Johnny\_Q](#): > > You’re not Colonel Flagg. > > DQ: Is your character well liked? > > IQ: Are you a researcher for an interstellar travel guide? To answer your DQ, yes, my character is generally well-liked. But, I am not Ford Prefect. ETA: Sorry for the delay in answering these questions, had a conference over the past few days and the hotel’s Internet was down. ☹ ---

(nobody’ll hold that against you. Well… I won’t, at least ;)) I am male and fictional I am not from a book I was in a movie but not exclusively so. I was created prior to 1990. I am considered humorous. I was also in a television series. I am not a cartoon character. I was not in a play. I am married (but this occurred quite late in my “life”) I have (to the best of my knowledge) never been quite portrayed as middle-aged.\*\* I am well-liked as a character. I have no superpowers. I have never been regularly portrayed as a detective, but I did become one, and my regular occupation includes detective work. \*\*I should add that I consider middle-aged to be 40-59, lest there be any confusion ---
