Hm, this looks like a fun game. One question, to dip my toe in:

IQ) Do you have a bridge in Dublin named after you?

562

Mine (way back when) was OJ Simpson. (the Bronco chase happened during the NBA Finals)

563

Not in Dublin, no. Take a DQ, and Welcome to the Game!

564

I was referring to the Samuel Beckett bridge.

From an English speaking country, and not British, well then I have to ask:

DQ: Are you Irish?

(this question made the Dublin bridge pop up in my head in the first place :slight_smile: )

<sidetalk>OK, an Irish stage actor dead less than 30 years. Got me

567

I apparently can’t name a single Irish stage actor.

568

IQ: Are you the (fictional) Tiger of Malaysia?

What can I say, I used to love those books as a kid :slight_smile:

569

I’ve heard of 'em, but haven’t read them. Take a DQ.

570

[Who said anything about stage acting?]

571

[Could also be…the star of the Irish equivalent of the Archers or something…I don’t know who that could be either]

572

[Well, hell. Hmm … Best known for acting, but not best known for movie or tv roles. I am officially stumped, because if stage is out, too … Radio?]

573

[SFX: penny in the cup]

574

Aww, and to think the very question I wanted to ask was whether he was a radio/voice actor :slight_smile:

I have a better one though, I think:

DQ: Since you said he was also a movie actor, were the movies he was in (or the majority of them, at least) made in the States?

I have no chance of guessing an Irish actor of any kind, but perhaps if he’s been in a movie I might have heard of…

The Tiger of Malaysia is Sandokan.

Simon Kerslake, a centrist Tory MP. Great book.
Gov. Sam Houston, when his fellow Texans foolishly insisted on seceding from the Union (see the very last paragraph, in particular): http://declaringamerica.com/houston-address-on-secession-1860/
Cmdr. Spock

Ah, yes. Thanks.

All the dead Irish actors I can think of didn’t have a first name starting with S. Anyone else is welcome to my four earned DQs, one apiece.

577

DQ: Stage actor?

578

I can’t think of any Irish actors, living or dead, so I’m out…
