I’ll undoubtedly slap myself and groan “Oh yeah” when you tell me, but right now, I’m stumped. Ask a DQ.

This line is actually Romeo’s, from Romeo and Juliet. This is how he describes Mercutio to an indignant Nurse, whom Mercutio has been mocking (to the delight of Romeo, Benvolio and other Montagues.)

DQ: Are you famous for your accomplishments in the arts?

@Elendil_s_Heir

IQ: Did both you and your equally fictitious brother share the same first name?

Prof. Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes’s nemesis, and his brother are both named James.

DQ: American?

IQ: Did you fail to break out of Anzio quickly enough?

[Le_Ministre_de_l_au-dela]

IQ: Did you play a character who shouted “Mr. Potato Head! Mr. Potato Head!! Back doors are NOT secrets!!!”?

Hmmm… I don’t mean to be cagy here. I’m inclined to say no, but it really depends how broad a definition you use of “the arts.”

1. Male
2. Real person
3. Born in the 20th century
4. Vaguely, loosely involved in “the arts”

Ask a DQ.

The quotation is from the film ‘War Games’, and the actor in question is the late Maury Chaykin. While I prefer to remember him for his roles in ‘The Adjuster’, ‘Whale Music’ and the ‘Nero Wolfe’ series, this was the first thing that many Dopers recalled when I posted his obituary here last January.

DQ: Are you a philanthropist?

IQ: Did your thinking on the theory of naval power strongly influence Theodore Roosevelt?

IQ: Is your grandfather very clean?

This reference is to the lovely Carol Merrill, who would point to packages and make sweeping motions before curtains were opened to reveal anything from brand-new cars to zonks.

DQ: Are you involved in cartooning (which is loosely one of “the arts”)?

IQ: Did the CIA help remove you from power in Iran?
