2 & 3 correct, Mario Lanza appeared in about 7 films over a 10 year period before his untimely death so I wouldn’t say that was long serving or prolific - I was thinking of Christopher Lee. May I take a DQ?

135

I wouldn’t call Chris’s voice operatic. He sang with his own metal band. No, you may not take a DQ, mainly because

I am Christopher Lee!
Good job, DC!

136

correct, Lou Gramm, Lou Costello

Lou x 3!

Congrats, DC!

137

Ah - sorry for not being more precise with my IQ. I phrased it in that way as I recall hearing years ago that he was going to be in Sweeney Todd, partly as he was a classically trained opera singer. I agree he also sang in other styles but a little post-game research suggests the question was reasonable. I could have rephrased but since I didn’t agree Mario Lanza fitted the question I felt staking a claim to a DQ was the right course, not knowing I had hit on the target. Thanks!
