Vin Diesel, in _The Iron Giant, Pitch Black_ and the _Fast & Furious_ movies. Cruella De Ville in _101 Dalmatians_ was played by Glenn Close, who was a nurse in _The World According to Garp_ and the Veep in _Air Force One_. DQs: First appeared after 1900? From south of the Mason-Dixon Line? IQs: Did you distrust men with their eyes too close to their noses? Did Brian Cox play your dad? Were you a TV newscaster in a long-running comic strip? Hmmm. A fictional American male, first name starts with D, first appeared before 1950, good guy, main character. Didn’t first appear in a novel; not mostly in comic books; was in a movie that didn’t do all that well. ---
