Dunno who this is, but he sounds like an interesting fellow! Ask a DQ.
Absolutely not! No one should be using any reference sources whatsoever, online or otherwise, in playing this game. I won’t look up something unless I don’t know the answer to a DQ and cannot otherwise answer it accurately.
Yes, you’ve won a DQ re: Monk.
Dunno about Rigoletto, so that’s another!
I think it’s better sportsmanship to let the person who posed the IQ supply the answer.
Sorry! :o You are quite right.
In the first scene of the opera ‘Rigoletto’, Monterone bursts into the Duke’s party to demand reparations for the Duke’s abduction and ravishing of Monterone’s (unnamed) daughter. Rigoletto answers on behalf of the Duke, mocking Monterone, and as Monterone is hauled off to be executed, he curses the Duke and lays a ‘father’s curse’ on Rigoletto.
DQ1: Would you be considered the hero of the movies in which you appear?
If I may, I would prefer to wait to ask my second DQ.
Are you the head of MI6?
Dunno that Monterone is as well-known as Botticelli, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

I await your second DQ.
Heh. No, I’m not M. (Sir Miles Messervey in the original Bond stories). Here’s a freebie: neither am I M. (the title character in the Peter Lorre underworld thriller)!
First, the talk show host I meant WAS indeed Maury Povich- his father Shirley Povich was a Washington DC sports columnist until he was 95.
Second, the role of J. Pierpont Finch in ***How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying *** (now being played by Daniel Radcliffe) was first played by Robert Morse, who also starred in the movie version.
DQ1: Are you European?
DQ2: Do you appear in multiple movies?

Actually, I messed this up – I was thinking of Andrew Miller, who was the Old Dominion’s Attorney General for most of that decade and then lost a close senatorial election to John (once Liz Taylor’s husband) Warner.
So I’ll try another IQ:
In the evenings, do you still sing with the band when you’re not staying at home doing your pretty face?
You are not Mackie Messer, AKA Macheath, AKA Mac the Knife. And that shoud’ve been “waiting to pleasure him.”
DQ: Are you more famous than your companions?
IQ: Did you come to bury Caesar, not to praise him?
Good.
IQ: Were you executed by guillotine while facing upwards?
DQ: Would your film be considered an American Hollywood production?
(DQ #2 from Thelonious Monk and Monterone.)
Sorry, probably another one of those Brit/Yank cultural divide things. But I don’t think that applies to Muttley, Dick Dastardly’s bumbling canine assistant, so I’ll take a DQ for that:
Did you first appear before 1970?
IQ: Did you make a film about eating nothing but fast food for a month?
You got me. Ask a DQ.
No, I’m not Mark Anthony from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar.
