Okay, this guy was great in _The Emperor’s New Groove_. But that one’s already been done. And everything else I can think of that he’s in was television. But I’m sure someone will come up with something (other than _The Tick_ or the episode where Elaine finds out he’s a “face painter”).

Ok. Search this Thread did not show a hit for

**Men in Black II** or its predecessor. If I missed it, shoot me.

Dang it, I missed the _Super Mario Brothers_ reference.

Someone bring the game back around to Bob Hoskins.

Feh, _Witch Hunt_ was made for TV. I don’t think it should be eligible. Judges? (Besides, it would open back up the _Super Mario_ play 🙂 )  
Also, has anyone else noticed that **Maureen** is sitting at a stud poker table and **Nightwatch Trailer** is in Gulfport, Mississippi? Mere coincidence? 😉

Hey, hey, hey, hey, HEY!!! 😛 _I_ am in California. We have some killer card rooms here, too, I’ll have you know. Besides, I think **Nightwatch Trailer** is male, and I am most DEFINITELY female.

Okay, **Shib**. I had thought _Witch Hunt_ and _Cast a Deadly Spell_ were true feature films, but I trust you that they weren’t.

Wish granted, **NT**

_Super Mario Bros._

I didn’t really think you were the same person. I just thought it possible that one of you was dealing to the other. 😉

I’m not going to touch this so that **NT** has a chance to come back in and make his play. And FWIW, I’m fairly sure those “films” were either TV or straight to video. Not that there aren’t some known actors in there. I’m just thinking this game should have a caveat that the film in question has to have been reasonably eligible for an Oscar of some sort, which I don’t think is true for any movie that never played in a theater.

Since **Nightwatch Trailer** has had nearly an hour to respond to this, I’ll refrain from putting Hoskins into play, but move the game along with **Samantha Mathis**
