16 & 25 are right there. It's killing me that I can't quite remember. What a terribly unproductive thread to find on a Friday. No work will be done today. If you think you're being unproductive, try WRITING the questions. :p

Walken's character in Suicide Kings was indeed named Carlo. B1's ID of 18 as being Joe Pesci as Simon in With Honors is also correct.

16 is from Blade Runner, 1 point for GringoTex for being the first to get the movie, 2 for B1 for the character and actress.

9 is not from Bugsy. 25 is not from Made, Men in Black, or A.I..

I didn't specify not to ask people for answers, just not to look them up on the Internet, but from this point forward, please don't ask around trying to find answers. I think it falls under the same category.

I've seen his movies enough times to know it's Kevin Smith. As for the other questions??

I'm Tall -Tony Roberts? He was in Shallow Hal, he's tall.

I'm curious about # 27. I also now know the answer to #9, but I already guessed, and someone had to tell me, so I won't say.

[jmh30]

GringoTex's answer of Lou Diamond Phillips is correct. His first wife, in fact, left him for Melissa Etheridge. He's drawn flak for portraying Native American characters in movies when he's only 1/8 Cherokee.

Carrey, Burton, Stiles, Taylor, and Cosby are incorrect.

FYI to those who've been participating, I'm going to be on vacation next week. I'll be at my folks' house, where they have dialup and not a fast connection, so this won't be updated as quickly as it has been so far, but I'll have my eye on it, and will definitely have some new questions Monday, if not sooner.
