Correct, I’ll rephrase, and I can’t believe I sneaked George W Bush past you 🙂. Remember this? [https://youtu.be/Vs-1jR9Ya0U](https://youtu.be/Vs-1jR9Ya0U)

1 was supposed to be Barney from The Simpsons, but I mistakenly thought he was Nelson Muntz’s father, so it doesn’t work - consider it withdrawn. 2 was Bertrand Russell: [Russell’s Teapot](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot). 3 was Benny Binion, of Binion’s Horseshoe.

DQ: Appears in a ‘real’ universe (as opposed to scifi, fantasy etc)?  
DQ: Has appeared in a Hollywood film?
