Let’s see…

For actor, I got [Christine Hulin](http://imdb.com/name/nm0401377/), a miscellanious crewmember on [Trois couleurs: Rouge](http://imdb.com/title/tt0111495/).

For movie, I got…[Did Anyone Notice Us? Gay Visibility in the Irish Media 1973-1993.](http://imdb.com/title/tt0401377/)

I suddenly feel very, very insignifigant.

Y’know…even more. ☹

For what it is worth, you are user 1723 which = [Tom Shadyac](http://imdb.com/name/nm0001723/) instead. A bit more successful is he. Your movie though gets worse: [Lady Beaulay’s Necklace (1911)](http://imdb.com/title/tt0001723/)

[Monica Aslanian (cool last name), costume advisor.](http://imdb.com/name/nm0039521/)  
[Juke Joint (1947)](http://imdb.com/title/tt0039521/)

My actual IMDB entry is a much longer number. I don’t think anyone will get me unless we had a big jump in membership.

I am [Bora Ayanoglu](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0043663/), the Turkish triple threat: actor, composer, and sound designer! Ok, he only has 20 total credits between all three of those, but still…

My movie us [Here Comes the Groom](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0043663/), a Frank Capra picture from 1951 with Bing Crosby.

[QUOTE=What Exit?]  
I get a number of 49804 for you. The dope only goes up to 62709 so far, so any six digit number is incorrect.  
You have landed [Gail Baldoni](http://imdb.com/name/nm0049804/) Costume Designer & [A Strange Adventure](http://imdb.com/title/tt0049804/)

Jim  
[/QUOTE]  
Dunno why I couldn’t get #49804. Whatever it was I did gave me #401240.

I like the movie better (7.5/10 ain’t bad for IMDB), but how do you get a second costume design gig when your first AND last one was 26 years ago?

Number 207.

[Christina Ricci](http://imdb.com/name/nm0000207/).

First time I’ve ever gotten _anyone_ I’ve heard of in games like this.

Although I look nothing like her…and have a “Y” chromosone…and…and…and…

[/QUOTE]

TV series are listed by start date, so it’s likely that Gayle/Gail worked on the long-running _Another World_ (which lasted until 1999) at around the same time she landed her _Mermaids_ gig.

I lucked out and got my favoritest ever actor - Doudja Achaichi. She was just great in the one thing she was ever in. [Doudja Achaichi - IMDb](http://imdb.com/name/nm0009757/)

And my movie is decently rated - 6.8 out of 10. But I expect no less of Vendémiaire. [Vendémiaire (1918) - IMDb](http://imdb.com/title/tt0009757/)

Let’s see here, I’m user #16452, so that makes ‘my’ actor… er…  
[Stephanie Albers](http://imdb.com/name/nm0016452/). Who is only credited as a ‘hippy girl’ in ‘Without You I’m Nothing’. Unsurprisingly, I’ve never heard of her or the movie she was in.

‘My’ movie is:  
[Travel Treasures](http://imdb.com/title/tt0016452/), an animated short from 1925. Never heard of it, and judging by the lack of information I’d say 99.9% of the population hasn’t either.
