Movie Quizz II REVEAL

So now it's filthyvermin's next pick and he picked Kurt Russell from California (born in Massachusetts).
I picked Jeff Bridges (correct) and xander picked Mel Blanc (correct).

It was still tough trying to count Mel Blanc's movies.
I tried to limit it to movies he did voice work for.
Gone are the shorts and the movies that were released after he died. And the "archive voice" stuff (mostly released after he died).
What's left are 49 movies that he did work for.

the next pick was xander's: George Gaynes from Finland (correct)
me and filthyvermin did not hazard a guess

I've seen a zillion Aki Kaurismaki movies but couldn't remember a single cast member!
And luckily Gaynes did most of his work in televison series.

filthyvermin also picked Sean Connery but xander picked Alan Cumming (correct)

FerencL 765
xander biscuits 703
filthyvermin 403

filthyvermin is up next and he picked Jewel Kilcher from Alaska (actually from Idaho)
me and xander never ventured a guess so that's an easy one

xander is up next and he picked Arnold Schwarzenegger from Austria (correct)
I picked Romy Schneider (correct) and filthyvermin also took Arnold

I have odd pockets of knowledge for various reasons. I used to be obsessed with tracking old celebrities and George was well into his 90s and I remember reading up on him.

I knew about Bruce Willis because I ran a quiz and 1 round was xelebrites not born in the US.

****ing Kurt Russell!! goddamnit! I saw a pic of him at dodger stadium when he was like 6 years old, and I was sure that ****er was from CA ****. I knew like a zillion ca actors

and I'm back....
It's my turn and I took Stanley Baker from Wales (correct)
filthyvermin did not hazard a guess but xander said Christian Bale.
Wikipedia calls Christian an "English actor" but he was born in Wales.

and now the scores are looking more reflective of ability to play this game

It's filthyverman's turn to pick and he's going with LeBron James from Ohio (correct)
For Ohio I had Roy Rogers (correct) and xander skipped this state.

I also knew that Doris Day & Paul Newman were from Ohio but I figured there would be more of those cheap westerns than "A" pictures for Day or Newman.

Despite wasting his time in the 50s with the Roy Rogers TV show, Roy still had time for 107 movies. I'll take it.
And now we know why LeBron James actually wanted to play in Cleveland.

And now it's time for xander to make a pick. He's going with Danny Trejo from Mexico (actually from California)
I picked Jorge Negrete (correct) and filthyvermin is going with Benicio Del Toro (one of the few actors who doesn't qualify for being born anywhere (in the USA but not in a state).

I picked a lot of singers because I know more of their bio details than actors.
It was only after buying a Jorge Negrete CD in Mexico that I learned that he was also a movie star.
And just to be certain:

Now it's my turn to screw up. Liam Nisson is not from Ireland (he's from Northern Ireland)
filthyvermin picked Colin Farrell (correct) and xander picked Brendan Gleeson (correct).

filthyvermin's turn. He takes Taylor Swift from Pennsylvania (correct).
I took William Powell (correct) and xander took Bam Margera (correct)

FerencL 1096
xander biscuits 897
filthyvermin 519

xander is up next taking William H Macy from Florida (correct)
I took Burt Reynolds (but he's from Michigan) and filthyvermin sat this one out

oh I think maybe Selma Hayek is from Mexico. I should have went with her

I don't think I've got a chance to win this. FerencL has golden age knowledge and that's when they churned out movies at a clip.

Anyone I have who seems decent on the surface has tv shows, music videos, commercials and other things diluting their count.

I'm not really that good of a painter

- picasso

gtfo :p

nah, I don't really know what i'm talking about. maybe Ferenc will win. in my head i'll quadruple my points, and see if I can win that handicap

I'm surprised that I'm still ahead at this point.
You have another voice actor with a truck load of movie credits yet to come (unlike Mel Blanc who was busy with cartoons).
On the other hand, I still have Bette Davis + John Wayne.
The Vegas oddsmakers still say you will win but maybe it'll be close.

Today is my poker homegame but maybe I can get some results out this evening.

filthyvermin's turn. He takes Barack Obama (correct)
xander also takes Barack Obama but I took Andie McDowell (who is from South Carolina)

Three strikes.

xander's turn. He takes Johnny Knoxville from Kentucky
me & filthyvermin sat this one out

Johnny Knoxville (from Knoxville) reminded me of Yakima Canutt (Yakima is a town in Washington state). Yakima acted in 186 movies + 267 as stuntman. IMDB doesn't count doing stunts as acting but those 186 acting credits would have been nice to have.

Let's do another round. First up, I take Olivia De Havilland from Japan (correct).
filthyvermin went with Toshiro Mifune (actually from China) and xander picked Ken Watanabe (correct)

I picked Bette Davis (correct) and xander passed on this one

filthyvermin passed on Idaho but I took Smiley Burnette (actually from Illinois)

three strikes - no change

Time for another round. I picked Michel Piccoli from France (correct)
filthyvermin went with Gerard Depardeau (correct) and xander picked Jean Reno (born in Morocco)
