Are you a fictional character?

Dunno - ask a DQ.

Julio Lugo - shortstop for the red Sox of Boston.

I’m not an Executive Decision character (John Leguizamo), Michael Scott’s ex-boss (Jan Levinson), or a U.S. Open winner (Joe Lloyd).

Biffy and astorian, you got me. Ask DQs.

  • not American
  • male
  • not alive in the 20th century
  • not European
  • a fictional character
  • not a native English speaker

A clarification: Now that you know he’s fictional, the “not alive” reference simply means that he’s not a real person. In the work of fiction in which he appears, he is alive.

74

I was thinking of Janet Leigh (the movie in question was Psycho).

Are you an artist?

75

The bass player is John Lodge of the Moody Blues.

Are you a character in a movie?

Can you further clarify whether or not this also applies to the “not alive in the 20th century”? That is, am I wrong in thinking I should eliminate fictional characters from stories set in the 20th century?

76

Sorry, I said “Open”. There is only one golf Open, and it ain’t held in the U.S. :).

I’m not angling for a DQ, just clarifying my question for you. Have another go.

Do you know any tricks that would help someone remember that you were a Buckeye, a Warrior, and a Knickerbocker?

Elendil’s Heir, do you mind if I post a list of previously guessed people as to make it easier for players?

The bubblegum singer was Joey Levine- he sang “Yummy Yummy Yummy (I’ve Got Love in My Tummy)” with the Ohio Express, then started doing commercial jingles like “Trust the Gorton’s Fisherman…”
Direct Question:

Are you a character on a TV show?
