This thread is going to go down in SDMB history alongside 14 k of g in a f p d and that stupid bookstore ‘rebus’. I’m not accusing the OP of trolling because I have no reason to think this (or the other two referenced threads) weren’t posted in good faith, but unfortunately the effect is rather similar!

Could the OP at least drop in and wet our beaks a bit?

I go anywhere from weeks to months without visiting the boards.

Anyway, I signed away my rights about six months ago. I got paid enough for a nice vacation plus some.

The subject of my video was:

British  
Male  
has been knighted  
is in his 70’s  
is easily recognized by anyone who can see  
his films are discussed ad nauseam in Cafe Society

Well, not really but I’m trying to act a little less New York. Did I sound sincere?

Will it be broadcasted / uploaded somewhere?

And why is it that you won’t tell us the man’s name?

Thanks for the update, OP, and glad to hear it worked out for you. I’m not going to press you further for details as I (unlike some others, apparently) recognise you (even in your relatively anonymous persona here) don’t want to be publicly associated with the video in question. But my guess is Sir Sean Connery. I think he’s the only person who fits the description in your last post who is also a global A-lister. But I rarely go in CS and my film knowledge is close to zero, so I could easily be mistaken.

Sean Connery doesn’t fit the age requirement. He’s 84.

I’m guessing either Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellan, or both.

The OP is _begging_ to be pressed for details, or he just likes fucking with people.

I’m female, not male.

I made it crystal clear that I couldn’t/wouldn’t be officially associated with the video from the get go for personal reasons, so your assertion that I like “fucking with people” is absurd.

Well except now, once a video of a Knighted British actor doing something amazing 6 months ago goes viral, we’ll all know that it was you who posted it.

I’m sure it’s already gotten out there, nobody’s going to sit on this stuff for 6 months after paying cash money for it.

Tease?

I’m not the one(s) who kept reviving this thread or repeatedly asking for more details. I hadn’t visited this thread since last April until I saw it pop up last night.

Some people nicely asked for more details and I felt comfortable enough in giving some out at this point. That’s all.

Since remaining silent is an issue and giving clues that Helen Keller could make a decent ballpark guess on is also an issue, there is obviously no pleasing anyone and anything further that I say will lead to time wasting on my part by way of typing explanations. I’m not willing to do that.

You’re not willing to answer the question (which is your prerogative) but you dangle a few clues? Yup, tease. If you give out enough clues that Hellen Keller could solve, but not actually answer the question, leaving hte trail of bread crumbs is a tease.
