I received a message that I was wanted, but my participation gets so spotty that’s why I often skip the thread. 🙂 Now I have to think of questions … IQ1) Did you once play a man who received psychic powers from a government experiment who later had a pyrokinetic daughter? IQ2) Have you been the voice actor for Despero, Mongul, The Centre, and Solovar in various DC Comics adaptations? IQ3) Have you played a stoner, a doctor, and a therapist as well as being employed as a White House staffer? ---

I am drawing a complete blank on anybody who fits all the criteria. I’d use a donated DQ if I had the slightest clue what I was asking. 🙂 ---

> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > Welcome, welcome, welcome! And take 3 DQs. Problem is that I still can’t think of anything to ask. And the answers were David Keith, Keith David, and Kal Penn. DQ: Was your 9-year stint on a half-hour show? DQ: Were you a regular cast member on that show? 1 DQ reserved, although that puts us over 20. ---

EH invited me back, and I see the good Professor is as formidable as ever. IQ1: Did you provide the voice of Federline Jones on _The Cleveland Show_? IQ2: Did you play one of Nathan Ford’s cohorts in _Leverage_? IQ3: Did you play the abrasive mother in _Malcolm in the Middle_? ---

> [@Draelin](#): > > Dammit. I literally went through everybody I could think of that was named King or Knight, but apparently I missed one. > > Are you Wayne Knight? Yes! I am Wayne Knight, best known as the evil Newman on _Seinfeld_, also known as Officer Don on _Third Rock from the Sun_ and as the traitorous computer programmer in _Jurassic Park_! Well done, Draelin! And welcome, Knowed Out! For what it’s worth, you would have had 3 DQs. ---

Always good to have more players. Welcome, all, and congrats, **Draelin**. Wayne Knight also has a small part in the recent Coen Bros. Fifties Hollywood spoof _Hail, Caesar!_ ---

Jamie Kennedy, Christian Kane, Jane Kazmeryk Could not think of Wayne Knight to save my life. ---
