BOTTICELLI Round #29

Are you an NFL quarterback, hailed as the future franchise QB on draft day, who wound up gambling away over a million dollars and spiraling into obscurity within a few years?

Did you play football for the South Central Louisiana State University Mud Dogs, beating the University of Louisiana in the Bourbon Bowl… at the age of 31?

Do you love the Chroni-what?-cles of Narnia? Do you pass the Chroni-what?-cles of Narnia?

Did you go where no man had gone before, leaving trail markers for those who would follow?

The Liverpool-born comic is Alexei Sayle.

Alastair Sim played Ebenezer Scrooge in both live action and animation.

DQ: Are you American?
DQ: Are you best known for activity in the arts?

Are you the original Robinson Crusoe?

Gah! I misstated the question. Andy Sipowitzwas who I was thinking of - but Dennis Franz played him on NYPD Blue NOT Hill Street Blues as I had thought. I will withdraw the question, as Sipowitz was the more famed character. Franz played Norman Buntz on Hill St. Blues.

No

Were you associated with more than one famous globetrotter?

Not Art Schlichter

Yes! I am Alexander Selkirk , the Scottish sailor whose 4 years on a deserted island inspired Daniel Defoe’s “Robinson Crusoe.”

Good work, Biff.

Yay me! And thanks for the game, astorian.

New round up immediately.

This was Andrew St. John.

Wargamer, Franz also played Det. Sal Benedetto on Hill Street Blues. Identical to Buntz in every way, except that he was crooked.

Congrats to Biffy!

For those who were wondering, this is Arne Saknussemm, the explorer who journeyed to the Centre of the Earth, and left records for others to follow the trail.
