Three DQs, I’m afraid. #1 was Bernard Marx, from Huxley’s _Brave New World_. #2, from the same work, was the World Controller Mustapha Mond. #3 was Malcolm McDowell, who played the El-Aurian scientist Tolian Soren in _Star Trek Generations_ (a/k/a “the one with Kirk and Picard”), Caligula in the eponymous art-slash-porno film, Alex DeLarge in _Clockwork Orange_, and, weirdly enough, Mr. Roark, in a very short-lived reimagination of _Fantasy Island._ DQs: 1. Fictional? 2. Living, or would be if real person? 3. Female? ---
