Probably’ll quickly piffle out, but giving it a go anyway - name the actor from a minimum list of three films/tv shows, then come up with a clue batch of your own.
The Last Detail
Kingpin
Milwaukee, Minnesota
If any of you smartypants can guess this next one (level 17 difficulty):
Father Knows Best
The Odd Couple
Get a Life
Anyway, to kick off…
Gilligan’s Island
Rebel Without a Cause
Mr. Magoo
(yes, media can be mixed)
I never heard of Get a Life. If it’s the person I’m thinking of, they were also on The Andy Griffith Show, right? But I can’t remember the performer’s name.
Jim Bacchus? Not sure how to spell it without looking it up.
Elinor Donahue of course.
Easy if you know who she is at all.
God’s Little Acre
For Those Who Think Young
Kentucky Fried Movie
Pretty difficult I think. Extra credit if you can point out the coincidence in the one in the middle.
Indeed, you’re thinkng of the correct person in the first example, and now that you correctly guessed the second, this kinda makes you contractually obligated to fulfill the mandate of coming up with another batch.
Well, what my lawyers said.
ETA: as TriPolar stated.
St. Elsewhere
Dead Poets Society
The Practice
Ah, I see this was added after the edit in my previous post, so if there’s someone intrepid to answer both these last batches, and go from there…
William Daniels?
No, sorry. William Daniels was in St. Elsewhere, but not the other two.
Ed Begley, Jr?
No particular name but I’m seeing bowties and glasses.
Sorry, no. Ed Begley, Jr., was in St. Elsewhere and I had forgotten that he was in one episode of The Practice. He was not in Dead Poets Society.
Heh and meanwhile this one’s still tricky.
Yes, don’t hold up the game on that one. Hint: If you know the actor common to the first two then go for it, the third one is about as obscure and trivial as it gets.
Aaaah speaking of G.I…
Tina Louise?
Actually out the door to work now - feel free to come up with another batch to continue this.
Bingo! She has an uncredited voice over in Kentucky Fried Movie.
The coincidence is that Bob Denver also appeared in For Those Who Think Young prior to he and Tina working together on Gilligan’s Island.
This one should be in the area of ‘medium-rare’ difficulty.
Bananas
It’s a Living
Taxi
Completely stumped. For me, more difficult than your previous one.
Louise Lasser. I think she was in another early Allen film also, she played a waitress for a season on It’s a Living (AKA Making a Living), and played Alex Reiger’s ex-wife in several episodes of Taxi.
Ah I see.
Yeah, I’ll say that was definitely tougher than the first, which I needed only the first two titles to figure out.
If a poster has to eventually reveal the answer, then that same poster comes up with another batch in the same post that the answer was revealed.
(heh - sorry for the late rule)
So then…go for another batch!
