You may be jumping the gun, Willow. If it isn't Jack Nicholson, I give up.

Don't give up -- it's Jack Nicholson, and you got all the movies! I thought Easy Rider might be the hard one.

If it wasn't the baseball player, then it was the tabloid reporter, right?
Your turn, Bree.

Actually, the tabloid reporter was the one I got last (one of those "you can't see it because it's right in front of your face" moments)!
Just back from a long lunch, so I need a few minutes to think about the next one.

Well, that was fast! I had forgotten he was a clergyman in Crimes of Passion.
I wanted to get Norman Bates in there, but I didn't know how to describe the role without either giving it away or being so coy as to be misleading. Possibilities I considered but rejected were "small business owner" and "worker in the hospitality industry"!

I like "worker in the hospitality industry", but you can be sure that would have thrown me off track. (lol)

DeNiro's the man. For the Priest I was thinking of True Confessions. I forgot about Sleepers.

Oh, I knew I'd seen him in a movie in which he played a priest (I've never seen Sleepers), but I couldn't remember which one it was!
I have to finish some work this afternoon, and I'm not sure if I'll be online tonight. If you think of another one before I get back, throw it out -- otherwise, I'll post a new one when I can.
