Holding four DQ

IQ1: Were you a television medical examiner?
IQ2: Did you travel with Sir Henry Curtis in search of his brother?

IQ1: Were you played by John Cleese at one point, though you’re best known as being played by someone else?
IQ2: Are you the mayor of Springfield?
IQ3: Are you also known as Green Arrow?

Hmm… Thinking about it, I seem to recall that within the fiction Cleese was playing a successor referred to the same way, not the same fictional person.

IQ1: Are you a skinny character actor who plays Citizen Z in the Syfy series Z Nation?
IQ2: Did you play wide receive for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1981-1990?
IQ3: Do you currently play goaltender for the Los Angeles Kings?

IQ: Are you from a TV show that was canceled and later brought back?
IQ2: Do you play croquet using flamingos as mallets?
IQ3: Did you abdicate in 2013?

Correct on all three. Yes, we have allowed middle names, where they were always used by the person in question.

IQs:

Are you Peter’s horny friend?
Did you need a bigger boat?
Were you a Toni Morrison female character?

What about people whose middle initial is associated with them, but either it doesn’t stand for anything or it’s not widely known what it stands for? Michael J. Fox, Samuel L. Jackson, etc.

I came up with a much more obfuscated IQ for this person as I was falling asleep last night, and forgot about it this morning.

We haven’t done that. Full name yes. Just an initial, no.

J. Edgar Hoover would be fine for E & H, but not J.

As far as I’m concerned, J Edgar Hoover would be fine as a J. Nobody ever calls him just “Edgar Hoover.” I used someone a couple years ago (D H Lawrence?) and not by his last initial.
