All righty then, talk among yourselves and please cast your “Are you FirstName LastName?” question by 8 pm EST tomorrow.

213

Still thinking, but still drawing a blank. Hmm.

214

The male lead from a successful 1971 American stage musical, later made into a movie, and even later a TV special, which was set earlier than contemporary times. Caucasian, last name starts with Z.

215

216

Are you Danny Zuko?

217

Yes (ding, ding, ding!)!!!

I am

Danny Zuko

from Grease!

Originally portrayed on stage by Barry Bostwick, he’s better known from the movie version with that other guy.

Well played, De_La_Rue!

218

Of course! Well done, DLR.

219

Hey – it was somebody I’ve heard of!


Okay. Next!
