Well, set in multiple times, but it’s not from a genre movie, so it’s not Zachary from Cloud Atlas.

bump.

110

I guess I know it’s not Zamfir, master of the pan flute.

111

I’d guess Zeus from Die Hard with a Vengeance, but I’m pretty sure that was made before 2000.

112

Ask all earned DQs by noon EDST tomorrow, please.

113

bump.

114

Right, then. Please ask all earned “Are you Firstname Lastname?” questions by noon EDST tomorrow.

115

I’m stumped.

116

I don’t remember the character’s last name, but are you Zero from The Grand Budapest Hotel?

Wes Anderson seems to have cornered the market on comedy-dramas after 2000.

117

Dingdingding!

Yes, I am indeed

Zero Moustafa

The refugee, lobby boy, thief, fugitive, revolutionary and eventual owner of (and appearing in) The Grand Budapest Hotel. Well done, CFOHG!

118

Good job, Chock!

119

Cool! I was about to come back and say it might not be him, because F. Murray Abraham (old Zero in the framing story) won an Oscar for Amadeus. But for the majority of the film he was played by the MCU Flash Thompson guy.(stand alone Spider-Man movies)

Next up…
