Strange little thing Otto cued me to on the IMDB actors.

In this thread **Otto ** noticed Fred Astair is the first person entered in the IMDB names table. Here are the first 25. It is an interesting list with a few surprises. Belushi, Delerue & Goldsmith seem a little out of place with the other 22 legends. This invites conjecture and a small game. The game is below.

Fred Astaire - IMDb Fred Astaire
Lauren Bacall - IMDb Lauren Bacall

John Belushi - IMDb John Belushi :smiley:

http://imdb.com/name/nm0000006/ Ingrid Bergman

Find the name that matches your SDMB username number.

I am user 53243 which matches the unknown: Jim Barbarino.
Ed Zotti matches to Ingrid Bergman
**Who is your match? **

Enjoy,

5

Hmm I think I did that wrong. I did the post # instead of member #. http://imdb.com/name/nm0049038/ Eh, like that’s any better.

I get Helge Andersson, who by a strange coinkidink is Swedish like me.

10

My number is the same as Martine Badgley who made one film, Dancing on the Moon.

11

Mine’s pretty obscure too.

12

I got Adrien Brody. Do I get to kiss Halle Berry?

13

Optionally you could find your movie: Mine is a forgettable Three Stooges film: Sappy Bull Fighters (Short 1959) - IMDb or Sappy Bullfighters (1959)
It is notable only for being their final short.

Any wags on how they assigned actors to there numbers? It obviously was not a completely random entry.

Gadarene, nice one!

14

Bor-ring! Ram Avron. One entry. Never heard of him.

15

Ah! But my movie is…Boniface somnambule? Son of a bitch.

16

Oh, I didn’t know we could do movies. Here’s mine: Muß man sich gleich scheiden lassen?

17

Hm. I got Martina Alberti, who appears to have been a porn actress in one movie.

18

My film is a lost German film from 1919 called The Blue Boy or *Emerald in Death. My actor is Senor Acuaviva, who starred in only one film in 1929.

19

Damn you Daniel Alegi!

My movie kicks all kinds of ass. [url=http://imdb.com/title/tt0000546/[Dreams of a Rarebit Fiend. Sweet ass.
