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 ?
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.
I am not Axel Foley from Beverly Hills Cop.
DQ: I was not in a play.
IQ: I am not Sergeant Frank Drebin, Detective Lieutenant Police Squad.
DQs:
I am married (but I did so quite late in life),
but I have never been portrayed as middle-aged. (AFAIK)

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 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 ?
