The fact that I missed that he was already mentioned automatically disqualifies me for a DQ. In fact, such a boneheaded move should disqualify me from the thread!
Did you play 3rd base for the Dodgers?
Don’t be so hard on yourself.
Stick around!
Kid_A, no, I am not (Harry) Arthur “Cookie” Lavagetto.
Darryl, the answer is no (for your indirect question, I was thinking of either Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or The Hollow Man).

OK…I was actually thinking of Andy Laroche.
Adam’s brother.
Were you a host of an extremely long running radio/televison show?
No, I’m not Art Linkletter.
Were you the first man to walk in space?
Did a family friend ever tell a story to you and your sisters in a rowboat?
Did you hang out with Sissy, Missy, and Justice?
Were you lead singer of a band who “broke out” at Woodstock?
No, I’m not Alexei Leonov, Alice Liddell, or Ali Larter.
You got me. Ask a DQ.
Were you lead singer of a band who “broke out” at Woodstock?
Alvin Lee of Ten Years After with the song “I’m Going Home”.

Are you the William Henry Harrison of popes?
You got me!
I’m Albino Luciani, better known as Pope John Paul I (1912-1978), whose pontificate lasted just 33 days in late 1978.
Well done, Darryl Lict!
HA! I had an inkling that I might be right. John Paul I satisfied all the DQ criteria plus he had all the desirable demographics for a difficult Botticelli candidate. An obscure first name (what the hell, was he that white when he was born?) plus a real name that nobody knows.
