He’s known as the guy who bites it a lot in some internet circles

The old movie guy says, Elisha Cook Jr. ftw!

Other old movie guy guesses - Raymond Burr, Peter Lorre, Dan Duryea.

John Wayne?

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 2:31 pm

Sam Jackson was already guessed (and correct).

No more correct ones so far.

Couple more hints:

- #1-4 started their careers in the 1960s or earlier.
- #7-10 started in 1980s or later.
- 5 of the remaining 8 were born outside the US (including the top 3).

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 2:38 pm

Bela Lugosi has got to be top 3.

Post by **Sabo** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 2:39 pm

Lee Van Cleef

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 2:39 pm

In that vein, Vincent Price too.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 2:41 pm

Oooooooooh Boris karloff

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 2:41 pm

Lugosi and Price are correct.

Definitely a few gritty dudes, but McQueen isn't one of them.

Rourke is #10. Still trying to figure out if that's who chedda meant when he guessed Mickey Rooney. Would be a fun thought experiment to swap all their roles.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 3:35 pm

Liam neeson

Did Mickey Rooney ever die in a movie?

ETA: The Wrestler with Mickey Rooney would have been fuckin' awesome and no one will ever convince me otherwise.

Even better with Andy Rooney

Neeson is #8.

I’ve spent way too much time thinking about this.

The only woman I can think of who has action/ dramatic dying chops is sigourney Weaver.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 4:34 pm

Looks like the last few are kicking everyone's ass, so will drop a few more hints:

#1 - Surprised no one has gotten this one yet. The line of thinking that came up with a couple of the others should lead you to him.

#2 - Not someone I would have thought of this high. Was definitely in a ton of movies, but had a tendency to kind of blend in. Does have one of what would be on a short list of "Most Memorable Movie Deaths" though.

#7 - The one woman on the list. Was surprised she was this high, but has been in a good number of action/violent movies. Not Weaver.

#9 - Least name recognition on this list, but has "been in stuff." Last name is a homonym for another on the list.

Bogart?

Christopher Lee?

Donald Sutherland?

Post by **brian** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 6:06 pm

Jonathan Pryce?

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 6:27 pm

Ooooh. Christopher lee is a good one. Shit he might be up there just for Dracula roles.

And all those Hammer horror films.

Which reminds me...

Peter Cushing?

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 8:11 pm

Christopher Lee is #1.

Another hint: The three remaining have all appeared in the same movie franchise, though in different installments. It is not Star Wars.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 8:41 pm

Sly Stallone, Warner Wolf, and Talia Shire

I had that thought as I woke up this morning - I do obsess on these things.

But it didn't fit the clues, so I gave up and looked at the list. I won't give the names...

[+] spoiler: But the clue for 9 is a giveaway (but one I didn't get!), and the woman I might have got on my 20th guess. As for #2. No way - not in a million years.
