Please set my round aside and proceed with another round, if you wish. I'm shutting down now. Lots of thunder and lightning here, and lights flickering.
Beautiful here, too (so why am I indoors?)
Actor?
Died after 1950?
I'll have to ponder this one while I take a walk (the Yankee game just ended, so I'm free to leave my apartment and enjoy this beautiful day).
Enjoy the fresh air. I just returned from an outing and it felt great.
Yes, that was a long walk, but it didn't help, because I'm still stumped. (The only person I can think of who fits the bill is Humphrey Bogart, and we've already ruled him out.)
So, to get a clue, I'll ask:
Did he ever win an Oscar?
Did he ever appear on Broadway?
Was he ever a regular on a TV show?
He never won an Oscar
Yes:
He appeared on Broadway
He appeared as a regular on TV show.
Clue:
He starred in a Broadway musical which was first made into a movie (not a musical), which was based on a novel.
Herschel Bernardi starred in Zorba (the musical), which was based on the novel Zorba the Greek, which was first made into the nonmusical movie, Zorba the Greek
I'm so sorry for the delay in answering.
Indeed he did, Bree, and did you know that Herschel Bernardi was also the voice of Charlie the Tuna and Ho Ho Ho, the Jolly Green Giant. (I didn't. )
Not a problem, Raggedy. I didn't know that about Herschel Bernardi, either.
I'm pretty busy at work today, so I probably shouldn't start another round right now. If anyone else wants to start one before I have a chance to do so, please go ahead.
Hello people where are we?
Dont have me come looking for yer
Start a new round if you want to, Kev -- I'm swamped at work, and won't be able to play today (or for the indefinite future).
