Yes, I am Toshiro Mifune!

Grats SCAdian! You are now Botticelli Master.

Well, my first was Manet, not Monet. I’ve heard of but haven’t seen Roshomon or Yojimbo, so I don’t know Mifune. However…

Congrats, SCAdian! Good job!

Guess you weren’t Pat Morita either. :smiley:

He was in The Seven Samarai, and a ton of other classic samarai movies. He’s like the John Wayne of Japan. If you’ve ever played 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon, he’s the reason why pretty much every Japanese actor is 3 degrees from KB. They were in a movie with Mifune, who was in Midway with Robert Wagner, who was in Wild Things with Bacon.

Pat Morita (as etv said).
Fu Manchu.

Mifune just popped into my head as I was writing the other two questions. I would have said that I’ve never seen any of his films (especially not the two I mentioned :)), but I guess I have if he’s in Midway. He’s just one of those big names that I’ve known about for years.

Hmmm… I always have trouble with picking someone, because names I’ve known since I was a kid, due to my peculiar reading habits, are probably unknown to most of you. (Anybody know offhand who Guenther Luetjens, Rene Fonck and Abd-el-Kader were?)

Aha! I am W.

IQ: Do people wonder “where are you”?
IQ2: Were you the commander in Vietnam?
IQ3: Is a beef rush named in your honor?

Nope on Guenther and company.

IQs:

  1. Were you Kid Flash?
  2. Were you bullied by the Skeezicks?
  3. Were you one of Bob’s (of Bob & Ray) mainstay characters?

Neither Wally (original) nor Waldo (American).
Not William Westmoreland.
Not the Duke of Wellington.

Not Wally … West?
Not Uncle Wiggily. (My father-in-law still haqs his copies of those books from when he was a kid.)
DQ.

No, I don’t recognize those characters. It’s enough for me to keep up with Dr. Seuss.

IQ1: Does your family have your music performed yearly at the Bayreuth festival?
IQ2: Were you the artist for Mad Magazine’s “Superduperman?”
IQ3: Were you a newspaper columnist and radio commentator who would start his broadcasts with “Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. America from border to border and coast to coast and all the ships at sea. Let’s go to press.”?

Correctamundo on Wally and Wiggily. The other is reporter Wally Ballou.

DQ: Real?

[Hmm, I’ve been playing this for a year and a half. I know better than to ask SCAdian ANYTHING related to Walter Lantz/Woody Woodpecker…]

IQs:

  1. Did you appear in a series of “Impossible Stories” with Wonder Woman?
  2. Are you aka Wonder Man?
  3. Are you aka Ted Grant?
