My wife and I between us did pretty well--I can't ever recognize anyone famous, and she can't get names right. So she'd point and say, "Oh, that's the guy, Brokeback Mountain, he has a sister," and I'd type in "Gyllenhaal", spelled correctly on the first try. Or, "Oh, that's Gabrielle Sibadee," and I'd get "Sidibe" right away.

My friend and I used to make a joke of them by slamming the keyboard: "Did you know he's played by Arnold Schwarnegrnegragnrgrengr?" or "That movie's with Zach Galifrnairnakurkus, isn't it." Also, "Nicole Sherezirzingerer" is quite hard, but maybe that's just me.

A bigger problem for me is that, having a pop culture IQ of about 12, I wouldn't know almost any of these people if I tripped over them in the mall, except for Anna Kournikova, who I'd deliberately trip over and then ask as we fell to the floor, "Did I spell your name right?"

Strombo! A celebrity in Canada, maybe, but does anyone know him anywhere else?

I wouldn't say knowing all of these people is easy. I had no idea of who three of them were. Great quiz, though.

Interesting quiz, though I think the last 7 or so people are harder because no one knows who they are than because their names are hard to spell. And Fichtner isn't even hard to spell.

@kidcanada: Well, sure! Strombo was the host of the ABC-TV series that mixed American Idol singing with Big Brother 24/7 camera surveillance call The One.
It ran for, let me look this up...
Uh, two episodes.

I can NEVER spell McConaughey correctly! I even had to double-check the spelling in this post so I wouldn't be made fun of for butchering the man's name!

So it appears at least 1.5% of Sporclers are from Canada.

Also, as a Greek, I feel for both #13 and #24 and my name is easy compared to theirs.

I suspect Cary Elwes isn't here for a spelling challenge. Rather, it's because all Sporcle quizzes must relate in some way to either The Princess Bride, Monty Python, or Kyrgyzstan. :)

Only 12 right? That stinks! Oh wait...there's another row on the bottom I haven't looked at yet. And after that I have...12 right.

There are quite a few names for a sequel, like the aforementioned Roethlisberger, Ioan Gruffudd, or even Tony Kornheiser.

My problem wasn't spelling, it was recognizing 8-10 of those people. Even after seeing the answers, I don't think I've ever heard of 4-5 of them.

Ditto what Cecispanda said. Could you give us the first names, possibly with last initial?

22.7% got Anna Kournikova, and all 22.7% were guys like me that grew up in the 90's.

It's not that I don't know how to spell names, it's that I don't have a clue who 75% of these people are. The ones I do know who they are, aren't even those people. How is that not Bradley Cooper?

First 4: "this is easy!"; Arnold: "I'll come back to him..." Avril & Shia: took me 2 tries, but I got them; Milla: "spelled just like it sounds..". Then up pops the mocking face of Jake Gyllenhowever.

I thought #1 was bradley cooper, #4=Justin Timberlake, #9=Andrew Ciciliano from the Red Zone Channel on DirecTV, #10= Lady Gaga, #20=Gywneth Paltrow,and #25= Akon. Then I realized almostnone of them were hard to spell. ..PS.. #13 also has the beard of Ryan Fitzpatrick, but I knew who it was.
