> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Have you played a police official, a scientist and felon? - Not Nicolas Cage, but Ed Norton (in _The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Hulk_ and _American History X_).

Swept my latest three! > [@Dead\_Cat](#): > > I think Nicolas Cage qualifies, for his roles in Face/Off (in which for at least part of the film he is playing an FBI agent), The Rock (in which he plays a scientist/FBI agent) and Con Air… Suits me. One reserved DQ waived. DQs: Best known for movies? Best known as a dramatic actor? IQs: A great king of ancient times, did your name unfortunately become synonymous with “dweeb”? Do many blame you for the Fort Pillow Massacre? Did you write about Ronald Reagan’s funeral before he’d even died? ---
