Who Am I?

[mgk]

How can you think of three, Matt?  And, how can Frannie be related to someone who has only been in one Eastwood film?

I'm confused.  

[KC]

Think, mgk ... Frannie has a father, who has been in a whole bunch of Eastwood films ... all of 'em, in fact (except the ones he only directed) ... and a mother, who was in three Eastwood films ...

Who else is she related to?  

[Matt]

If Frannie is related to Clint, then all of Clint's other children would be related to Frannie, right? Three of them are in his films. Now, I just remembered that Kyle was in BOMC, but I had forgotten that above. Alison didn't appear with Clint in MITGOGAE, but I did forget her brief appearance in Absolute Power too, I was thinking only Tightrope.

Guess that leaves Kimber Eastwood, as the tour guide in Absolute Power.

(This is what I get for being away from the board and the trivia section for so long.   )

Frances Fisher??

[KC]

Dannyman, Frances Fisher was in three Eastwood films (Pink Cadillac, Unforgiven and True Crime).

Matt is correct ... Kyle was actually in at least two other Eastwood films (besides Honkytonk Man and The Bridges of Madison County): The Outlaw Josey Wales and Bronco Billy. And Alison was in Bronco Billy, as well (she was featured in the montage of bits from Eastwood films that ran on the awards show of the BFCA the other night).

[mgk]

Think, mgk ...

That's hard to do.    I haven't been away from the trivia but I do seem to be "away."

Good job, Matt.

[Matt]

D'oh! I forgot those too.

Okay, here's the next:

I appeared with Clint in only one film.

Believe it or not, I was an English teacher before appearing on screen.

Who am I?

[Matt]

(This new one may be a bit difficult, so ask questions before knocking yourselves out.   )

[KC]

Matt, I think I got it, but I got it by knocking myself out ... ... is there anyone out there who just happens to know the answer?  

[Dannyman]

Where were you an english teacher?

[Matt]

Where were you an english teacher?

In New York. But I think that information will only help if you already have an idea of who I am.

KC, did you want to post and see if you're right?

[Dannyman]

Yeah KC, go ahead make our trivia day

[KC]

Are you Carroll O'Connor?  

[Matt]

Way to go! That's who I am!  



How'd you get that, KC? I learned O'Connor was an English teacher from one of my English teachers over twenty years ago. It always stuck because everyone in class was so shocked that "Archie Bunker" taught English, of all things. It gives me more respect for his acting abilities, that's for sure.

In any case, you're up!

[KC]

As I said ... I did it by knocking myself out!  

I searched "Bios" in the IMDb for "teacher" ... then paged through the hundreds of results looking for Eastwood co-stars. They came up alphabetically, and before I got to O'Connor, the only one I saw was Liam Neeson ... and he studied to be a teacher, but they didn't say that he ever actually taught.  

Gimme a few minutes to think of one ...

[KC]

OK, how about ...

In one Eastwood film, I talked a lot ...
In another Eastwood film, I hardly talked at all!

(Applies to an actor who played two different characters in two Eastwood films ... I hope that's clear!   )

[Matt]

Never doubt KC's researching capabilities.  

Ooops, I see KC has snuck in there and posted the next. I'm off to bed, so I leave this game back in the hands of Dannyman, Gant and anyone else who'd like a go.  G'night all.

[Dannyman]

How many Eastwood films were you in?

[Matt]

I think KC already told us that... two.

And, I think I know this one.

Are you Joseph Egger, the old prophet in For a Few Dollars More who never shut up, and Piripero the coffin maker who barely said a word in A Fistful of Dollars?

[KC]

Nope, I'm not him, though he and I were of an age!

And, the answer to Dannyman's question is indeed two!
