20 Questions - Famous People Edition

[Sirius]

I keep missing the crack the case threads. I come in when they are on the 3rd or fourth page, so I shorter, similar game -- 20 YES/No questions to determine what famous person I (or whoever wins then it is their turn to pick) have selected.

All questions need to be answerable in Yes or No format...

example:

Is it a woman?
Is she an actress?
Is he from the United States?
Is this person alive?

also important to know -- if you have not asked is it a man or a woman and you use the improper pronoun you will not be corrected, so you can make the wrong assumption.

Please # your question based on previous posts so we make sure to only use 20 questions.

Ready?

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

This is hard!
The non-network thing is throwing me. The only shows I watch on cable are The Daily Show and re-runs.
I am doing some research...

[Sirius]

I did a search of his full name and nothing came up for nervousness -- but I have discovered that isn't always accurate.

um...his show isn't on cable either -- which leaves FOX, UPN and WB.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

Got it! Scott Bakula?

[Sirius]

Bing! Bing! Bing!


What led you to him?

Now I can go add him to my celebrity crushes. When I was a kid I couldn't get enough of Quantam Leap....

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

10. Is he married on the show? Oooh..crap..you know I don't know the answer to this one....he might be...but I'm pretty sure he's not right now. I know he WAS married on the show at one point..but since I can't answer this definitely I will just give you guys a hint.... when he was married on the show, it wasn't for love!


Oy! You stumped me with that one Heather! :P

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

Is it David Schwimmer?

[sarahkate]

nope - but good guess! He does fit every one of those categories.

another hint - he is NOT on Friends!

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

11. Does his show usually come on one of these days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday?

12. Was he famous before he was on this show?

[sarahkate]

11. Does his show usually come on one of these days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday? No!

12. Was he famous before he was on this show? No!

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

Tom Cavanagh?

[sarahkate]

nope...don't know who he is!

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

Ok...

(he's on Ed)

13. Does he have brown hair?
14. Is he handsome?

[sarahkate]

Oh, ok...I know who you are talking about now.


13. Does he have brown hair? YES!
14. Is he handsome? Not REALLY handsome (in my opinion)..but he's cute

[nymphette]

is he straight ??

[sarahkate]

is he straight ?? uh-oh! I think this question just may crack the case! On the show he is NOT straight, I'm not sure whether he is or not in real life.

[AlienSpy]

Will from Will & Grace? I don't know the actor's name, sorry! :rolleyes:

Julie

[sarahkate]

close! Very close! but not Will (his name is Eric McCormack in real life by the way!)

You are ALMOST THERE!!! your hot! burning up!!!

[nymphette]

that's what i was thinking... because jack, on will and grace, obviously is.. ;)

heh heh....

[nymphette]

then jack???

sean hayes, i believe, is gay... though i guess ic an't be 100% sure... in real life, though i heard that he is....

[sarahkate]

DING DING DING! Nymphette is the winner!!!

Sean Hayes is the correct answer.

At first I thought I had heard somewhere that he was married (to a woman) but then I checked IMDB and it didn't say anything about him being married, so I guess it's very possible that he's gay in real life too.

I love that guy..he cracks me up even though he can be so obnoxious sometimes :P


so now Nymphette - you get to pick a mystery famous person to try to stump us with!


*oh and also when Heather asked if he was married on the show I couldn't be sure. I know at one point Jack married Rosario so that she wouldn't be deported...but I don't know if they were ever divorced or if they are supposed to be married still. Though she got busted for shop lifting (in real life) so I don't think she will be back on the show anytime soon.

[cdonley]

Eric McCarmack is straight I believe, so maybe that is what you were thinking! lol

gj Nymphette!

[sarahkate]

Are you ready Nymphette?

I will start with the questions:


1. Is this person female?

2. Is he/she an actor?

[nymphette]

i dont' watch a lot of tv because we don't have cable, and the tv won't receive without it, but when i am at someone's place, THAT is the show i want to see.. especially since it had (HAD?) harry connick jr on it... <Sigh> ;)

let's see...

what do i start with??? just 'ok, i'm ready???' have to recheck the beginning of the thread i guess...

if that's it, then OK, I'M READY!!!! got one....

[Christine_0701]

yes it is


and not Ewan ;)

[Sirius]

well, christopher lee was born in london and he is over 40....

[Christine_0701]

noperz

[Sirius]

What we know…

1. Is this person an actor/actress? yes
2. Is it a female? no
3. Is he/she an American? i believe so. i'll go double check...he's american...but also from England, and you can just consider him as english if it's confusing...

Not
Hugh Grant
Harrison Ford
Liam Neeson
Ewan McGregor
Christopher Lee

Eliminate A-M first names
We have Temuera Morrison of New Zealand and Samuel Jackson of Washington DC. So the English thing stumps me. I suppose he wasn’t necessarily in Episode II, you just said he was in a movie in 2002. So it could be Silas Carson, because I don’t know where he is from.

[Christine_0701]

no, it's not Silas....and this person has been in all the Star Wars movies :P

and as a hint: 5: is he on a t.v. show? no but he used to be on a VERY popular tv show....

[Sirius]

Argh...who am I forgetting?

The only ones that I can think of that have been in all 6 movies are Yoda, Chewbaca, C3P0 and R2-D2 and Frank Oz, who has been a part of popular tv shows doesn't fit

10. Does his last name begin with a letter from A-M ? yes
11. Does his first name begin with a letter from A-M? no

neither does Anthony Daniels or Kenny Baker.

Peter Mayhew was in the Dark Towers tv series....

hm.

Peter Mayhew

He is best known for his work on television.

In his movies his characters usually have a dry sense of humor.

[Sirius]

He was born in 1960 in New York.

I picked him because the day we started this line of questions a DVD he was in was on the front page of IMDB.com (which is where I get my information to answer questions I am unsure about)

Bah! I have conflicting information.

One source says he hosted snl in the 70s. Another source does not confirm this but does say that he hosted in the 80s. As for the 90s...I still don't know :P I don't think he hosted in the 90s...

Nope...it isn't bob newhart (but you already knew that :) )
