I have misled you. > [@](#): > > Is he primarily a comedic actor? > No The correct answer is Yes. > [@](#): > > Has he played guitar in a movie? Has he ever been nominated for a major acting award (Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe, etc.?) His movies aren’t really7 Oscar material even though they tend to be extremely popular. > [@](#): > > Does he have black hair? Yes Has he played a homosexual in a movie? I don’t think so, certainly not in any of his bigger roles. Has he played a Marine in a movie? No. Thankfully he has not pressed the button yet and you are still reading this. ---
