Mitchell Gant, the USAF pilot played by Clint Eastwood in _Firefox_ (based on the book of the same name). He stole a high-tech Soviet fighter plane. I have to admit, I’m stumped. Every DQ that I might ask has already been asked, and I’m no closer to a solution. If you’ll permit it, then, I’ll let someone ask my DQ. ---

I’m baffled. I’m just going to throw a bunch of IQs out there…if I get any DQs anyone who stops by is free to use them since I likely won’t be on the board until Friday. IQ1: Are you a welterweight MMA fighter who has fought in the UFC? IQ2: Are you about to appear in film as a retired vigilante superhero? IQ3: Are you well-known (among other things) for your Naevus flammeus? IQ4: Are you a billionaire sports owner? IQ5: Are you a Canadian non-fiction author? ---

[/QUOTE] IQ4: Not Malcolm Glazer… Otherwise, ask 4 DQ.s I apologize if this one is too hard. It SHOULDN’T be. At least, I thought this was a relatively light-hearted accessible one. Hints: 1. You’ll notice there’s only one major American TV network left that nobody’s asked about. 2. The character is definitely best known as a TV character, but has appeared in at least 2 media besides television. What are the two most obvious media a character might appear in before making it to television? ---

[QUOTE=Biffy the Elephant Shrew] Do you play poker with Oscar and Felix? [/QUOTE] 😛😛😛😛😛😛 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 **WOOHOO! YES! I AM MURRAY GRESCHLER, BETTER KNOWN AS “MURRAY THE COP”.** Some of the questions asked earlier were phrased so specifically that the answers, though accurate, may sometimes have been misleading. I originally appeared in Neil Simon’s Broadway play “The Odd Couple.” I was also a character in the movie version of “The Odd Couple,” where I was played as a gruff wisecracker by Herb Edelman. Then, most famously, I was the big-nosed buffoon in the TV version of “The Odd Couple,” played by Al Molinaro. Bravo Biffy! I was starting to feel really obscure. ---

Way to go, **Biffy**! I wouldn’t have guessed that in a million years. ---

Thanks for the game, **astorian**! I’ll start up a new round soonish. ---

Great job, **Biffy**. If it’s a fictional character, I’d never get without another 100 DQs. My unanswered IQs were: Melvin Guillard Matthew Goode Mikhail Gorbachev Malcolm Gladwell [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/botticelli-game-35/457282.md?page=5)
