Correct. Other answers now seem so obvious, but Streep (or, more accurately, Steep) was all I came up with.

Woo-hoo! I’m smack in the middle again! After my abysmal showing last game, I’ve reclaimed my rightful position as the most mediocre player!

Thanks so much for running the games, **Dolores**. I know it’s a ton of work. I really enjoy playing.

Might I convince you that “faithful” and “loyal” are close enough to count together for #9…

Yay! Thanks, **Dolores**.

#4 was the interesting question. I thought of several possibilities, including Michael Caine, before deciding to go with Morgan Freeman, while thinking there must be some more obvious choice that I was forgetting.
