    Aug 8, 2012 - Game: Which Actor... ? #1

    Thought this could be a fun game to post... pick a few generic characters (three seems to be a good number) and try to find the actor who has played all the roles. Bonus points if you can get more than one (or an actor other than who the poster was thinking of).

    So, to start off...

    [FONT=Arial Black]Which actor has played a Musketeer, a Vampire and a Dog?[/FONT] (Ok, he only provided the voice for the dog.)

    Winner comes up with the next question. (Posting photos of each character is always a plus to keep the thread visually interesting!).

    -Magnoli

    P.S. I'll be adding to the reputation of each winner.

    Edit to add: Woah, KS has 5 middle names

    Which actor was cast as James Bond, but at the last second Roger Moore signed on for one last Bond movie? Which actor was ALMOST Bond?

    Eh... that's not the game, make your own thread!

    Seriously though, looking on Wikipedia's Bond actor's page yielded no results, so I'll leave it to someone else.

    So, back to the game I mentioned in the OP:

    [FONT="Arial Black"]Which actor has played an alien, time traveler and evil monk? [/FONT]

    I agree with the first two, but he played Adrian Monk, an ex-PD detective, on the show Monk. I've seen a lot of episodes, and I dodn't recall him ever going undercover. I'm not saying it's not possible, but considering the number OCDs he had in the show, I find it unlikely .

    Was Marvin a time traveler?

    So far no one has solved this one. But, suffice it to say that two of the three films are from major franchises that are consistently referenced on the RPF.

    Just looked it up... Marvin the Paranoid Android is indeed a time traveler, so it looks like we have our first Bonus winner!

    If you want to know who I was thinking of, click on the spoiler tag above...

    Was JRD ever a time traveler? I know he slid between multiple universes, but that's not the same thing.

    He immediately came to mind, but I completely blanked on the first.

    OK then, back to my original... And nope, not Cate Blanchett (might use her later though if I'm lucky)

    Which actress played the same queen twice and a bad sister, as well as twins, but not in the same film (thought I'ld throw that one in since she played the same role in different two films.)

    It's Gary Oldman.

    Air force one. The professional and JFK.


    The terrorist (Air Force One):


    The drug dealer (The Professional):



    Or, the drug dealer (True Romance):



    The assassin (JFK):

    well...two out of three are what I had in mind....the third could be up for interpretation (I was thinking of his role as Drexel Spivey in True Romance).
