As usual, Sternvogel, you da dude!
Okay. Some blind stabs and some questions:
Don SpiffApple – is the apple part something like pear or lime or fruit?
Rupert Pulverize – how about Grind or Mash or Smash
Michael Tigris – is Rivers good enough or do we have to get which river?
Daniel Harvardsister – Yale something maybe? Or Brown?
Jordan Shavings – could this be Sparks?
Arden Jarhead – is Eve the Arden part? Is jarhead for sailor or soldier or marine?
Gary Bountyhunter – Tracker? Chaser?
Good tough stuff!
Slim Pickens
John Bunyan
Richard (rich-hard gear) Gere
Daniel Radcliffe.
I sense a “Harry Potter” theme, but I’m not going to Google any of the others unless they’re still up for grabs when I return to this thread.
These are correct. Zeldar, this is Emily Watson, though the brainfarts caused by my meds caused me not to type my intended name of Emma Watson. Not to try to steal any glory but I thought of Jesse Jackson (specifically through the Jesse spelling) but didn’t think it fit.
Sternvogel, have you suggested any clues? They’d probably be very good.
Zeldar, these are all fairly “stretchy,” see above comments.
Thanks for the IMDB help. I prefer Emma! 
Ditto on the request for Sternvogel to challenge us.
Forgot this one: A knife or your fingers could create the leavings.
Jordans I can name: Sparks (and hers is Jordin I think)
Synonyms for shavings I can think of:
filings
peelings
peels
scrapings
pickings
crumbs
stubble
flakes
flecks
parings
chips
What am I missing?
It’s in there, you just have to figure out the right one (think comedy).
I’m still trying to get at least one of your “doubles,” but while I’m here:
Tigris Tuscon.
Container Supplementalinsurance.
Amplifier Divorcéeconsort.
Smudge Ramparttown.
Woodie Passerine.
Foodkeeper Admiral.
Ligneous L-Shapedtoolname.
Hairstyle Aspiration.
River Phoenix (pronounced Puh-hoe-nicks)
somebody Ryder?
Mike somebody
Mark Wahlberg (clue to one of mine!)
? Bird?
Chester Nimitz?
Cole somebody
Bob Hope
Damn, you’re good!
Ligneous L-Shapedtoolname
With help on my vision becomes
Woody Allen (wrench)
Is it wise to think of Admiral as a brand name?
And please forgive the attempt at humor: Mike Gigolo
Could I get some clues on these?
Container = Bin
Supplemental Insurance = AFLAC
C-L-E-V-E-R
Okay.
Hyena Attacker (news)
Punch Lumber-smooth (news)
Stroke Barrier-town (Jesus, man! I already mentioned this one. Think your stuff!)
Frozen Sphere (rapper/actor)
You’re causing my keyboard to sweat.
Got them right. And go ahead and give yourself credit for the Barrier-town one, since you used the very same guy with the same ideas, unless you have a mental block going, in which case keep suffering,
The other news person: think wild beast and football
If it’s Mark Wahlberg, once you alluded to that, I started thinking away from him. Since it’s not going to be stroke = aneurysm either, Mark Wahlberg will have to do.
:: Drum roll ::
Wait for it . . . .
Wolf Blitzer!
That’s the one.
And the stroke was more like stroke of a pen but I can see how the aneurysm might get stuck in the brain. I have several of yours stuck that way. My next post will be all of yours that I need more help on. I’ll collect them all and repost them.
Are any of mine still hanging?
Okay, 5-4-Fighting, play like you haven’t given me clues already. They haven’t helped enough for me to take new stabs.
HELP!
