xander's last pick was Shakib al Hasan from Bangladesh (correct)

Shakib has not acted in any movies so that brings us to a close.

I assumed we could just award xander the trophy for this win before we started counting.
Very surprised to finish 682 points ahead!

Thanks to xander and filthyvermin for participating

thanks Ferencl! and congrats! GG xander

was fun 😀

I did about as good as I could have done. getting a 0 for CA with curt Russel hurt, but didn't affect my third place finish.

I think i'd try Cameron Diaz from Cuba, but Idk... or maybe that other one... smokin hot actress in what's it called... blade runner. if I could ever remember her name.

oh and Sweden is maybe the one who played the robot in the movie with guy from star wars... and also she was in tomb raider.

oh and Pennsylvania is one of the rooney sisters. if that's their name. their grandpa owned the Steelers or somethtning like that

and that's about it

Thanks for the game

Congrats Ferenc

I meant this guy from Pakistan:

Not that it would have changed anything.

I'm pretty sure he's one of the Imran Kahn/Imran Khans that I went through on IMDB but passed over him because he had no movie credits.
