Did you “borrow” another country’s high-tech wonder without asking?

No idea who this is- ask a DQ

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?

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?

Did you find fame alongside your brothers Robin and Barry?

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
