Madeline Kahn? I loved her as the Empress in History of the World:Pt One And she was good in Young Frankenstein, although I liked Teri Garr better in that one.
“Do we have a hole this man could fill?”
But I’m not sure of the music hall singer. In Blazing Saddles she was German.
Here’s an easy new one.
German doctor
Reporter
Sea captain
Lawyer
Yes, Madeline Kahn!
Empress Nympho in History, as you said
English music hall singer in Sherlock Holmes’s Smarter Brother

Oh, wait, that’s John Cleese, isn’t it?
I mean, Monty Python and the Holy Grail for the first, Harry Potter series for the second, and now he’s Q isn’t he?
Don’t recall him being an Old West sheriff, though.
He was the sheriff in Silverado, wasn’t he?
Space trucker
Prison trustee
Union auto worker
FBI agent
You got it- as Enginerd notes, he was the sheriff of a Western town in Silverado.
Keitel also played a cleanup/hit man in The Assassin, opposite Bridget Fonda (the American version of Nikita).
Dennis Hopper? I’m basing this solely on the “space trucker” role, I saw that movie and thought it was hilarious. Also, there haven’t been too many roles that could be described that way.
New one:
Prime Minister
Fox
Whistleblower/Murder Victim
Walking Dead
Does that last term mean a zombie?
Not Dennis Hopper, and “space trucker” is probably a more glib description than the role deserves. Let’s revise that to “crew member on interstellar cargo ship.”
Crew member on interstellar cargo ship
Prison trustee
Union auto worker
FBI agent
Harry Dean Stanton?
(Based on Alien and The Green Mile)
My submission is still unsolved:
Lunatic
Musician
Rebel leader
Arab diplomat
