Ever seen an actor in a movie that you've seen in lots of movies, but you don't know his/her name?  Sure!
You might even know their name, but what if you don't?  Here's the trick.  You can use Google to aid you in this, but it may not be that easy because first you gotta remember what the movie was you saw the actor in!

All correct!  M.C. Gainey played Roscoe P. Coltrane in the 2005 Dukes of Hazzard movie.  I remember when they first released the cast list for that film, everyone was like "Who the hell is M.C. Gainey" and I was like "You mean you don't know?" lol

In the 1984 movie Starman, he plays a crooked cop.  First thing I ever saw him in, and he's aged so much, I almost didn't even recognize him when I watched that movie again.

All correct!

In the movie National Lampoon's Vacation, Brian Doyle-Murray plays the owner of a cabin motel.  In Christmas Vacation, he plays Clark's boss.  That used to confuse me back in the day lol

My favourite David Keith role was Jack Parkman in Major League II.  He was such an ass in that

Man I love star man but I have no memory of that cop being gainey....guess I gotta look at it again.
I saw dukes once but it was before MCG was on my radar so I have to go back and look at it again someday.

Those are all correct!

I always think of that episode as well.  Either that, or his role as Cassandra's dad in Wayne's World 2

7 might be Mark Wahlberg

I think #29 is Fred Wilard.



Cat

I think #29 is Fred Wilard.



Cat



soooo close... lol

soooo close... lol



Ok, how about Fred Ward?  ;)



Cat

#30 is Bob Gunton, who played Warden Norton in The Shawshank Redemption. He was fantastic in that, just fantastic.

#8 I recognise as the character Luther from The Warriors, one of my favourite films. I admit I had to Google the actor's name - David Patrick Kelly.

Ok, how about Fred Ward?  ;)



Cat


you had all the letters there... you just threw in a few extras for good measure  :D

Actually I think #6 is from The Warriors too, that's Ajax with a beard isn't it?

7 might be Mark Wahlberg


A good guess, but no



Ok, how about Fred Ward?  ;)



Cat


I was a little concerned when you said Fred Williard LOL
It is indeed Fred Ward

Those two are correct!

Could be, but the question being what is the actors name? lol

I never saw "Warriors"  but David Patrick Kelly was also "Luther" in "48 hours" too.

I never saw "Warriors"

SEE THIS FILM!  You won't be disappointed

He was great in 48 Hrs.  He was also in Commando as Sully
"Hey Sully, remember how I told you I would kill you last?  I lied!"

I was mistaken Jason, I looked up some pics and I did see it, Michael beck, Deborah Van Valkenburgh..I just didn't recognize the name at first. Yup, good film. I saw it in high school.

My hubby says he thinks 13 is Keith David from the movie Platoon

This would be a correct answer!

15. Christa Campbell?

My next guess would be Deborah Van Valkenburgh.

Another good guess, but not the one I seek

So glad I'm still an X files fan #7 is the alien bounty hunter himself Brian Thompson
#24 is Christine Taylor (seriously was like she looks like the woman in Dodgeball and then realised it's a still from the film!)

That's all I got :)

15 is incorrect, but you did get the other two correct

Limit is now 4

15. Mercedes Ruehl?

#6, just like #8 from the film 48 Hours. Character was Ganz, name is James Reimar

15 is incorrect, but you did get the other two correct


In that case, #21 is J.T. Walsh.

15. Mercedes Ruehl?


This is correct.  She is recognizable as the mom from BIG and Last Action Hero, as Dean Stockwell's jealous wife in Married to the Mob and as the undercover cop in The Warriors


#6, just like #8 from the film 48 Hours. Character was Ganz, name is James Reimar


This one is correct.  His role as Albert Ganz tops my list of greatest villains of all time


In that case, #21 is J.T. Walsh.


Yes indeed.  His last two films before he passed away were The Negotiator and Pleasantville.  Both were dedicated to his memory in the closing credits

This is correct.  She is recognizable as the mom from BIG and Last Action Hero, as Dean Stockwell's jealous wife in Married to the Mob and as the undercover cop in The Warriors




Lost in Yonkers is the film I remember her most from

I forgot about that movie.  I liked it

Missed out on a bunch I would have known, but I can snag one:
#26 is Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa, best known for the movie Mortal Kombat and the TV show Nash Bridges.
I still think his name sounds like something Bruce Lee screamed in a movie!

Late to the party but that's okay.

#18...Ed O'Ross?
#20...Kathleen Freeman?

I thought it looked like him but it didn't occur to me it was him.  ;D

Any chance number 14 is Fred Williamson?

I take it back.  I think it's Richard Lawson.

James Tolkan it is

It is Richard Lawson.  He played Ed the police captain in Streets of Fire

Now #22 is killing me  :D

Now #22 is killing me  :D


I know. I can see him so clearly in a drs coat (maybe in a TV drama). And also as the father of a family (guest role) in a sitcom

I wanna say Michael chan or Paul chan (not to be confused with Paul Michael chan of the closer/major crimes
Maybe his name is James. I don't remember. 10 yrs ago I could told without thinking twice.

Totally! Me too! 
And when I see his face I see a "Paul" as well.

#22 was the teacher in America Pie. Clyde Kusatsu. I remember him as the Rev Chong in All in the family, a soldier with a nervous tick on MASH, and a Japanese soldier in Midway (film) and in a gazillion other roles .

#27 looks familiar but I can't place him.

This is correct.  The one role I always know him best for when I see him in something is Principal Shimata on "Family Matters"

#27 looks familiar but I can't place him.


I didn't think he would be the last one left.

If anyone requires hints on it, enough yeses to that and I will slip one in

Yes pls

Double yes please.

(votes) yes

Ok.  For the last one, he's had several memorable roles.  He's never played Hannibal Lecter, but he has played a drug lord turned robot, and also had a dual role as himself and a serial killer in a movie from 1993

Quiz is complete, but there is a two way tie for first.  I think I may need a bonus question that anyone can answer.  Hmmm ...

Whoo hoo I'm in the tie.  If Ida just recognized the the dude from top gun Ida  been the wiener  :D

I'm in a tie with the Queen of TV?  :o

Just an honour to be tied with her.  Good luck Q, (not that you need it since you'll win anyways :))

Thanks for a great quiz, Jason  :)

Thanks all, but we must have a winner, so here is a bonus question anyone can answer.  If this does not provide a winner, another question shall follow ...

One of the actors in this quiz played the parent of one of the actors in this quiz.  Name these two people and the movie it was in

Just by looking at the photos, I couldn't even have a guess. If I spent hours looking through each person's bio and tried to come up with a movie match, maybe I'd find the answer  ;D  But that would be cheating.

Good luck Q on this one!

It would only be a half point anyway because even if I could pair two actors together I'd wouldn't know what movie they were in together... I vote for a new bonus question.  ;D

Sure, I'm OK with that.

Do I need to add a hint with the bonus question?  lol

I honestly don't know if that would help but go for it.  :)

I honestly don't know if that would help but go for it.  :)


yeah, what Q said.

Ok.  The movie in question was the third instalment of a film series based on a short lived TV series

Hmmm feature film or TV movie???


Feature films
Star trek the wrath of kahn?
Adams Family reunion?


TV movies
Gillian's island--- the Harlem globetrotters one.
A bunch of Brady's take the White House down as Olympus falls?  :D

I'm still at a loss on the actors. I'd go to imdb but like warped I think that'd be cheating. Tho technically it was allowed in the quiz. Lol


Um

I was thinking original Star Trek too, like Q, but I don't recognize any faces from Star Trek films.


Could it be Batman films? (Generated from the Adam West/Burt Ward TV series from the 60s)
Could it be Naked Gun? (Generated from the Police Squad TV series)
Could it be X-files?  (Generated from the same series, but can't remember how many X-files films there were)

I know there were 3 Beverly Hills cops films, and I know Lisa Eilbacher was in one of them at least, but I don't think that came from a TV show. Did it?  ???

there were two x file films...

I don't think BH cop was a series first - if it was I totally missed it.

Batman could be a good guess but the films were technically generated off the comic not the TV series.

2 X-files films? Thanks. I figured you would know. :)

  I totally missed the BH Cops series too, doubt it existed..but it's my best guess so far  ;D

If you were thinking Batman - Which films were you thinking since both of the franchises (Tim Burton's and Christopher Nolan's)  have 3 films in them?

Not sure because I have't seen them all. I was thinking either one.

I will say one of the guesses so far is on the right track.  You can use imdb or google
