I was born in a place that is now in the United States and was then Mexican occupied territory, and probably claimed no nation but the Apache, for I am indeed **Geronimo**. Congratulations, Professor. ---

> [@etv78](#): > > You ARE allowed to research DQs. 🙂 To clarify - only the quizmaster may do research, and only to ensure that answers to DQs are accurate. Nicely done once more, **Prof**.! Previous IQs: Were you often cast as a wise old Indian? - Chief Dan George. Were you beloved by a young secret agent? - Ol’ Golly, nanny to the title character in _Harriet the Spy_. Did you joke about Ahab and the curiously precise white whale? - Gilbert Gottfried had a routine about how Moby-Dick nibbled only at Ahab’s leg, “as if it were a tiny little Rice Krispie,” and nothing more. IQs for F: Are you the creator of _Downton Abbey_? Did you play an android in a recent sf movie? Are you the alter ego of a radio personality? ---

Actually, I thought your previous #1 was Paul Newman’s character in _The Color of Money_, but couldn’t remember his name. Turns out it’s Fast Eddie Felson, which would have worked.
