The only other actor in the film I can remember has already been used. ---

> [@roger thornhill](#): > > I have a feeling this may bring this particualr round to a screeching halt, but I seem to recall that **Melvin Dummar** (the subject of the film) had a small part in his own movie. You’re correct, and Dummar’s role as “Bus Depot Counterman” is his only IMDb-listed credit. I had to look that up, but the quantity and variety of knowledge stored in my head recently inspired me to apply as a _Who Wants to Be a Millionaire_ contestant. On Tuesday, I flew to New York, where I passed the audition. Now I await a postcard which will either say “thanks but no thanks” or inform me I’m officially “in the pool” for the upcoming season. So do we start a new thread, or continue with this one? In either case, I’ll honor _Millionaire_ star Meredith Vieira (who was not at the ABC building when I qualified for a future on-camera exchange with her) by playing the 2004 remake of _The Stepford Wives_. The film featured Meredith (in what was apparently not much of a stretch of her thespian abilities) as a TV host. ---

I vote we start a new thread. When we have multiple games in the same thread, one must remember the time and date of the game change, which can be tough for some. ---

This has been a very long (20+ page first game). We should probably start the Movie Game IV. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movie-game-mk-3/305787.md?page=54)
