FYI, I’ll be offline for the next couple of hours. Feel free to guess, but don’t get ahead of yourselves. By this I mean: if you’ve already guessed an actor for a movie, don’t just throw a bunch of other guesses out there. Be patient, I’ll check in after I get home, just not sure what traffic and what-not will be like with a hurricane on the way, albeit several days off yet. ---

If you have any new guesses, you might want to get them in this morning. I might have to drive over to Orlando around lunch time, in which case I might not be back online until late tonight or early tomorrow. ---

Harry Potter - Tom Felton (Draco) Dogtown - Ling Bai plus Jodie Foster = _Anna & The King_ = Chow-Yun Fat Mars Attacks! - Joe Don Baker Cuckoo’s Nest - Vincent Schiavelli plus Teri Hatcher = _Tomorrow Never Dies_ = Michelle Yeoh Rush Hour 2 = Zhang Zhiyi So the answer is **Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon** That’s the first time I’ve ever had to work backwards on one of these things. As soon as I got Anna & The King, I knew the answer, I just couldn’t figure out who the Dogtown, Mars Attacks or Cuckoo’s Nest actors were for the longest time… ---

As soon as I got Anna & The King, I knew the answer, I just couldn’t figure out who the Dogtown, Mars Attacks or Cuckoo’s Nest actors were for the longest time… Very nicely done. I was so happy when I was putting that together and found that Bai Ling had been in _Dogtown_. I figured, somewhat correctly, that no one would pull her from that film. Vincent Schiavelli’s also a good one: everyone knows the guy (he was the angry ghost on the subway train in _Ghost_, but almost no one knows his name. And Joe Don Baker is fairly well know, especially to people old enough to remember _Walking Tall_, but he’s always playing generals and senators in large ensemble casts, so it was a fun place to pull him from. It was a bit of a challenge to end up with three Chinese actors yet not go Asian too early in and give it all away. Jackie Chan might have been the biggest hint that something was afoot. ---

Sorry for the late post, but I started it early and got sidetracked. I kept refreshing Shibb’s last post and saw no new posts on that page. Too bad it was the last post and I didn’t snap to the next page. Joe Don Baker was the right way to go. Pierce Brosdan had been played. Shibb, for some reason, I always thought you were female. Today I noticed you mentioned admiring Carla Gugina’s naked form. Not that that precludes you from being female, but what is it for you gender-wise, male or female? ---
