Am bored and trying to avoid work. Back when I first got online, I think about 15 years ago (which might or might not have been pre-IMDb), I wasted a lot of time playing "guess the common character different actors/actresses have played" game. They could be from multiple literary adaptations, from a remake, famous historical characters, or someone iconic/abstract. Movies, TV series, animation -- anything goes. For example:
Jean Simmons and Gwyneth Paltrow = Estella from Great Expectations
Helen Mirren and Glenda Jackson = Elizabeth I
George Burns and Morgan Freeman = God.
The fun would be trying to guess the answer without going to IMDb or wikipedia, although nobody would know if we cheated.
Anyone game?
Mark Hamill and Jack Nicholson.
I didn't know Hamill played Joker! Batman: The Animated Series, I presume. Let me see:
1) Jack Lemmon and Rosalind Russell
2) Anthony Stewart Head and Gabriel Byrne
Viggo Mortensen and Ray Wise
I didn't know Hamill played Joker! Batman: The Animated Series, I presume.
He's awesome!
Jack Lemmon and Rosalind Russell
Er, whatever character they play in
The Front Page
and
His Girl Friday.
Hildy Johnson, right?
Right! I get a particular kick when people genderflip an established character.
Viggo Mortensen and Ray Wise
Err. I want to say The Devil, even though I cannot remember which movie Mortensen might have played one in.
Viggo played Lucifer in The Prophecy, which I was just talking about with a coworker three hours ago!
Oh, I got one!
Antonio Banderas and Benicio Del Toro
