Probably not. No IMDb...

Orson Welles (Touch of Evil) Charlton Heston (True Lies) Tia Carrere (Lilo & Stitch) Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction) SLJ

In tribute to you, Darth Enzo, my next selection for the game is Paulo Autran who played a character named Dr. Enzo in a movie called Oriundi. This would be a good challenge for Ric as he's Brazilian.

Holy crap! Paulo Autran! My favorite actor, what are the odds of that?!

Paulo Autran (Felicidade É) Pedro Cardoso (Bossa Nova) Amy Irving (Tuck Everlasting) Ben Kingsley (Schindler's List) Liam Neeson.

Uh... Roberto Benigni, did we do him already?

Really your fave? I just did a character search on IMDb for "Enzo" and his name popped up a few down on the list. Only picked him because of the "Dr." being so close to "Darth."

Probably used Benigni but it wouldn't hurt to do it again.

Roberto Benigni (Coffee and Cigarettes) Cate Blanchett (LOTR:FOTR) Christopher Lee

Mira Sorvino.

Michael Hutchence wrote a song called Don't Lose Head for Face/Off, Starring John Travolta, who co-starred With Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction, and as we know, Samuel L Played Mace Windu in Star Wars.

Gary Coleman

War does not make one great.

Not quite. It's gotta be acting gigs in theatrically released movies only, as per the rules on page one. Hutchence did act... in three movies.

After we get Michael Hutchence via acting gigs, we'll do Gary Coleman.

Michael Hutchence is still the current challenge.

Michael Hutchence (Frankeinstein Unbound) John Hurt (Crime and Punishment) Clive Revill -> voice of the Emperor on ESB.

Got some luck with that one, saw the name Clive Revill and thought "waaaait a minute".

Next: Not sure we did him before, Bob Geldof.

Nice job on Revill. I had another route in mind but it was one link longer.

I think we did Geldof before, but here goes anyway...

Bob Geldof (Spice World) Richard E. Grant (Hudson Hawk) Bruce Willis (Pulp Fiction) SLJ

Couldn't say no to a Hawk linkup.

I guess, since we finished Michael Hutchence, we should go back and get Gary Coleman, although he is VERY easy if you look carefully.

Almost, Codester. Can't use TV shows, Made-for-TV movies, or miniseries. Have to be theatrically released films only. I don't care what country it was released in, just so long as it was released. And, I believe, I am also counting those that only have screentime at festivals such as Sundance and Cannes. Check the rules on page 1.

So...

Phylicia Rashad (Loving Jezebel) David Moscow (Newsies) Christian Bale (Shaft) SLJ

Alison Lohman (Big Fish) Ewan McGregor

Now for a different TV Allison... Allison Mack from Smallville.
