here's one that may take a while (i hope):
A pregnant mother-to-be
A savage warrior
An exercise addict
Protector of children

It seems like Linda Hamilton played all of these in Terminators I and II. She was pregnant at the end of I, and became an exercise addict in the institution at the beginning of II, in which she was very protective of her son as well as having turned into a rather savage soldier. Just a thought... probably not what you had in mind...

Max: Just curious. Was Gary Sinese the right answer to your question?

Yes, yes yes. Sorry for the delay, my son has a new PC game, and it is the weekend. Yes Raggedy!!

Hope you're enjoying the games too, Max.

New question:

Midnight TV Host
Para-lawyer (legman)
Teacher at Army base
Mental hospital inmate
Corporate raider

Daf: I'll leave your question to the other movie buffs. My first thought was Jamie Lee Curtis.
Pregnant mother to be - My Girl 2
Exercise Addict - Perfect
Protector of Children - Maybe, Halloween 20 Yrs later
Savage Warrior (No Idea)

very very good. Not my answer, but still very good

Fraid not Jamie Lee either.

As a tip i'll say this: To make one of these really hard you either pick a really obscure actor/films, or you can do something else. I did the latter.

OMG and i think i may have the answer to yours Ragged! (without using the net)

Danny DeVito:
Midnight TV Host -
Para-lawyer (legman) -
Teacher at Army base - Renaissance Man
Mental hospital inmate - One Flew Over The Cocou's Nest
Corporate raider - Other People's Money

I don't know about the first two, but the teacher and inmate are obscure enough that he has to be the right answer.

yeah?

I believe that the "para-lawyer" was The Rainmaker - but I've got no clue about the midnight TV host.

Does the kiddo ever let you play his new game, max?

daf, I'm afraid that your hint was too subtle for me. Do you mean to say that neither the actor nor the films are obscure?

The only other female "savage warrior" I've thought of was Sigourney Weaver in the Alien series. (She wasn't very savage in the first one until the last 60 seconds or so.) And she protected children in one or more of them... But exercise addict? No clue. And was she ever pregnant in a film? Anybody remember?

Okay, another thought...Arnold Schwarzenegger was pregnant in Junior. Lord knows he's been a savage warrior in several films. He looks like an exercise addict but I don't know a film when he played one. He protected the kid in Terminator 2 and maybe the kids in Kindergarten Cop?

Yes, Danny DeVito is the answer to my question. He was identified as a "Para-lawyer and legman" in Rainmaker as you said, Mac. He was the host of a Midnight TV Show in "Jack the Bear". (Gary Sinese played the villain in that one. Devito had a starring role). Dafdaf got the other ones right.

Mac: Arnold S. sounds right. What about "Pumping Iron" for the exercise addict?

Should I go ahead and ask one?
