Good job, **divemaster**! My next guess was going to be Ralph Fiennes. Previous IQs: Have you played a troubled lawyer, two aliens and Satan? - Yes, Ray Wise, in \*Twin Peaks, Star Trek \*(two series, two episodes) and _Reaper_ Did you star in _Sexy Beast_? - Ray Winstone Have you played a senior MI6 official and Iago? - Rory Kinnear, in the James Bond movies and a recent National Theatre production of _Othello_ ---
