I couldn't find another game like this on the forum so here's my idea: (If there is a game like this that I just didn't find, sorry for duplicating it.)
1- Someone describes three characters that an actor or actress has played from movies or TV shows. (Basically anything they were in, so commercials and music videos are valid, but will most likely have been seen by less people.)
2- You can list multiple characters from the same movie but they must be actual characters that the actor played (ala Eddie Murphy in ... anything he's ever done), not personas that one of the characters pretends to be in the course of the movie (ala Dana Carvey in "
Master of Disguise"
).
3- Avoid giving the name of the character, but try to make sure that the description contains something unique or distinctive about that character. (You can name them if you wish, though.)
4- Bit parts can be listed if you wish but please use judgement. Someone who only does bit parts is less likely to be noticed than a big star with a little cameo.
5- After the list of characters has been posted, someone else guesses who it is (as if I actually needed to spell that out).
6- When guessing, state the actor you think it is and then (for the benefit of others who may not know where you're getting your guess) list the movies you think the clues are referring to.
7- You don't have to list a movie for every character in the list since you may not have seen them all, but please list what you can and at least one. That means if you have a guess based only off of one of the clues, that's fine. It's just probably going to be harder to be sure of yourself.
8- When you guess correctly, the previous lister gives you two mod points and you get to put up your own list.
9- If you make a perfectly valid guess based off of all of the clues but it is not the actor that the lister intended, you do not get to make your own list but you get one point and the original lister may need to modify his character list. (This is to avoid someone making a completely vague list just to keep people guessing.) --Note, a valid guess based off of some or even most of the clues does not count since that last clue may be the one that makes the intended actor stand apart.--
10- For voiced characters (i.e. cartoon, puppet or cg characters) describe the character they voiced as if it had been them. If they only did the singing voice, however (ala Danny Elfman as Jack Skellington), please state "
singing"
as part of the character description. (You must be able to hear them. It doesn't matter that Frank Oz did the puppetry for Augra since you can't hear him. Listing the puppeteers is tantamount to listing the animators in a cartoon. They may have done much of the performance, but nobody can expect anyone to guess them.) If the character has one actor for the body and another for the voice, either one is a valid (ala Abe Sapien from Hellboy where Doug Jones was the on-screen presence and David Hyde Pierce dubbed the voice).
Please feel completely free to use engines like
IMDB and such since, if the movie and character are not listed, if you can find them in a search, you must have had some idea to begin with. (A
Google search may require less knowledge since you can search for the key words in the description, but is also less targeted to the needs of this game, so feel free with that too.)
Here I'll try to keep a running list of who has been done. You can duplicate a person if you want, but you may want to look here:
