Didn\'t Merryl Streep play the prez once?
That\'s kind of a bum question because the list of actors who have played the prez is enormous. Maybe just ask who played Kennedy or who played Ike. (actually, who played Ike might be good because you\'d have to count anyone playing him in a WWII movie.)

Answers Part 2

I have played a villain in a Bond movie and a Batman movie, but a hero in a Stephen King adaptation. Who am I ?

As previously guessed, Christopher Walken, who is in \"A View to a Kill\", \"Batman Returns\" and \"Dead Zone\".
He won a supporting Oscar for \"Deer Hunter\"

What key movie role has been played by all of these men ? Kevin Kline, Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, Gene Hackman, Ronny Cox and James Cromwell ?

As previosuly discussed, Fictional US Presidents

Only actor to co-star with Connery, Stallone, Cruise, Clooney, Willis, Hopkins, Cage, Burt Reynolds, Kurt Russell and Michael J. Fox ?

This is not easy. In order of co-star:
\"Entrapment\", \"Stop or my mom will shoot\", \"Mission Impossible\", \"Out of Sight\", \"Pulp Fiction\", Mission Impossible 2\", \"Con Air/Bringing out the dead/Kiss of Death\", \"Striptease\", \"Dark Blue\" and \"Casualties of War\"

That would be Ving Rhames.

All in different flicks....I have played football, baseball and basketball. I have skydived, boxed and played the sax. I have portrayed a superhero, a parapalegic, a drug lord and a drag queen. Who am I ?

As previously discussed, Wesley Snipes

I have a great list of leading men. They include Bridges, Gibson, Clooney, Ford, Nicholson, Nicholson again, Pacino, Keaton, Redford and Willis. Who am I ?

In order:
\"Fabulous Baker Boys\", \"Tequila Sunrise\", \"One Fine Day\", \"What Lies Beneath\", \"Wolf\", \"Witches of Eastwick\", \"Scarface\" or \"Frankie and Johnny\", \"Batman Returns\", \"Up Close and Personal\" and \"The Story of Us\".

Plus...Sean Connery for \"The Russia House\", Rutger Hauer in \"Ladyhawke\", Matthew Modine in \"Married to the Mob\",
John Malkovich in \"Dangerous Liaisons\", Daniel Day-Lewis in \"Age of Innocence\" and Sean Penn in \"Iam Sam\".

I am the lovely Michelle Pfeiffer.

Answers Part 3

I am a fairly recent dramatic movie whose title is a major US city. 3 different actors in the cast have 2 acting oscars each. There are also two ladies who each have an Oscar as well. Name the movie and the actors / actresses...

As previously mentioned, This is \"Philadelphia\".

No other actor in history can match this sta: I can count 60 different Oscar winning co-stars in my illustrious career. I finally won one myself in my last movie. My daughter and son are both well known actors as well. Who am I ? ( Acting Oscars only please....)

As mentioned, this is Henry Fonda.

BTW, the next closest is Gene Hackman who has 58. Latest addition was Marcia Gay Harden in \"Welcome to Mooseport\". He should surpass Fonda soon. Everyone else who is close is already dead. An actor\'s total can still climb after he is dead if one of his co-stars subsequently wins an Oscar.

I am the only woman who has co-starred with Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Seagal. Who am I ?

As mentioned...Sharon Stone in \"The Specialist\", \"Total Recall\" and \"Above the Law\"

What 1998 action movie features 3 different actors who have all played PRINCIPAL Bond villains ?

This is kind of strange....

Michael Lonsdale ( Drax from \"Moonraker\" ), Sean Bean ( Janus from \"Goldeneye\" ) and Jonathan Pryce ( Carver from \"Tomorrow Never Dies\")
are all in \"Ronin\".

Ass kicking car chase in this movie.
Top 5 all time. Realistic, as these things go...

PLUS Michael Lonsdale\'s character is a painter of samurai miniatures. He is in the midst of a SERIOUS large scale diorama.

PLUS Jean Reno....

AND it features the always lovely Natascha McElhone, too.

Rent this one.....

Huh ?

They probably have not all played the same role :)
They aren\'t really contemporaries and
they have not all co-starred together.
Hmmmmmm.....

Might need a hint on this one....

Is this limited to movies / movie related or some other aspect of celebrity ?

Here\'s a Fun one....

Stallone is an example of someone who has appeared in two different trilogies
( Rambo / Rocky ).

Since 1970, how many others can you name ?

Has to be a live action human whose features are visible. ( No James Earl Jones for Darth Vader, for example...)

All 6 Star Wars movies count as one \"set\",
not two......

An easy one for mini painters...

Who is the only person to appear in at least one of EACH of:

Alien movie
Predator movie
Terminator movie

You can only count \"Alien vs. Predator\" once total, for either creature, if you need it at all.

Easy?
That has nothing to do with minis.
Ask a mini related movie trivia question.
I don\'t know any, but I\'ve got a TV one.

What popular current TV drama has a principle character who paints minis for a hobby?

Working on it.

Vince,

Albert FInney has costarred with each of Geoffrey Holder and Alec Guiness, but I can\'t think of anything he has made with Holbrook.

and....

Yapphet Kotto has co-starred with Holbrook and Holder, but can\'t think of anything with Guiness....

Hint ?

in Two trilogies...

Ford is correct.

Somebody else is in each of two very high profile trilogies that finished within the past 18 months....

Don\'t watch a lot of TV. I have about 6 or 7 shows I watch and none of them have a character who paints minis that I know of.....

So....who is it ?

TV answer: Joan of Arcadia. In the pilot episode the camera moves across minis, brushes and paints (admitedly testors enamels, but still paint) before showing us Joan\'s brother in the wheel chair.

Movie hint: you already named him in an earlier post.

Oh, and I figured out the other guy in 2 trilogies - John Rhys Davies.
(not bad for a guy who rarely watches movies).
That reminds me: Harrison Ford was in 3 successful series in that time frame.

James Earl Jones ?

Is in \"Swashbuckler\" with Holder
Is in \"The Great White Hope\" with Holbrook
Is in \"Star Wars\", et al

John Rhys Davies is not in all 3 Indiana Jones flicks.

If both Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen are in \"X Men 3\" they will each have appeared in two trilogies.

Mel Gibson in \"Mad Max\" series and \"Lethal Weapon\" series

Talia Shire is in 5 \"Rocky\" and 3 \"Godfather\" movies

Love this one...Hugo Weaving is in all
3 \"LOTR\" and all 3 \"Matrix\" movies...

Tricky....Christopher Lee is in 3 \"Star Wars\" movies...and...all 3 \"LOTR\"..but only the extended version of \"Return of the King\"

I believe that Lance Henriksen is the only actor to appear in an \"Alien\", \"Predator\" and \"Terminator\" movie.

He is a cop at the precinct in \"Terminator\", \"Bishop\" the android in \"Aliens\" and \"Alien 3\", and the
wealthy dying industrialist in \"AVP\".

The role of John McClane in \"Die Hard\"

was originally offered to.......

Richard Gere.

Would have been half the movie it would become if Gere had taken it.

Technically you didn\'t say the actor had to be in each film - you just said was in multiple trilogies.
Thus Harrison ford played Jack Ryan in 2 of the 3 movies based on Clancy novels.

all starred with JEJones is correct.

I should have guessed the guy from Matrix and LOTR, but as I only saw the first Matrix film, it just didn\'t come to mind.

Here\'s another:
Charles Martin Smith
Dudley Moore
Jeff Goldblum
