Re: Q20

Then why can't you ask if they're European?

Oh yeah, it would narrow it down.

Re: Q20

1. A living male
2. No, he's not me.
3. No, he was not born after 1980.
4. No, he's not a scientist
5. No, he was not born after 1960.
6. Yes, he was born during an odd numbered decade.
7. No, he does not belong to one of the A continents.
8. Yes, he is an actor.
9. But no, he's not a sportsperson.
10. No, he's not a comedian.
11. Yes, he's currently in a film as a male lead. Though the film is not yet released. That's what I can decipher from your question.

Re: Q20

Or perhaps Christopher Lee, but lets hold off on that question because we don't even know if he's a wizard yet. If he is, thats a wasted question.

He's at least in his late 40's, so he could be John Rhys Davis (Gimli) Ian Holme (Bilbo), Theoden, Denothir, or perhaps he has a more obscure role.
