Previous IQs: Were you Ike’s SecState? - John Foster Dulles (he always used all three names, so I think it’s fair play). Were you the action-oriented field reporter on _FYI_? - Frank Fontana, on the news-show-within-a-show of _Murphy Brown_. Were you a top politico on Aurora in Asimov’s _The Robots of Dawn_? - Dr. Han Fastolfe. Hmmm. A dead American actor, last name starts with F, died after 1950, didn’t win an Oscar or Emmy, not esp. handsome, not a leading man, was in comedies but not best known for them, born west of the Mississippi. Think think think… DQ: Best known for appearances in movies? Two DQs reserved. ---

Apologies to KO for ignoring his three questions (the first two of which would have earned DQs), but… > [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > IQs: > > 1. Did you play Bub on _My Three Sons_? > 2. Did you play Lt. Columbo? > 3. Were you a silent film actor who has the same name as one of the best known actors in _Star Wars_? I am neither Peter Falk nor Harrison Ford(?), but yes - I am William Frawley, best known as Fred Mertz on _I Love Lucy_ and “Bub” O’Casey on _My Three Sons_. > [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Previous IQs: > > Were you Ike’s SecState? - John Foster Dulles (he always used all three names, so I think it’s fair play). > > * * * > > was in comedies but not best known for them He was actually (according to Wikipedia) best known for being in two TV sitcoms, but I wouldn’t call him a “comic actor.” And far be it from me, after having used John Philip Sousa as a ‘P,’ to criticise your use of Dulles as an ‘F.’ 🙂 ---
