It's a work in progress. Very Happy I was getting tired of Dana Scully.

I guess this one is rather sneaky, although I didn't intend it to be, honest. Very Happy Tim Robbins' role in the movie with this actor was not a leading one.

Change Basketball player to Basketball hustler.
And add:
Drag Queen as one of his roles

Well, drag queen gave it to me. Sadly, I thought about Woody Harrelson as a basketball player in White Men..., but never considered Wesley! Rolling Eyes

Way to go Mac! You can't believe how stuck I was on that one. I couldn't get Benjamin Bratt out of my mind, he was a Ranger in The River Wild.......... Smile

Ranger specialist is what the IMDb called McGregor in Black Hawk Down. I thought that might cause some problems, but I didn't know what else to call him. And if I had said a poet in love with a courtesan, that would have been too easy. Laughing

Indeed!

I knew that ranger specialist was going to be a military designation, but that didn't help me.

I should confess - I found it by using the Power Search at IMDb, with poet in the plot words box, and the year range. I didn't remember that Ewan's character was a poet!
