	I really did enjoy this quiz a lot.

	It's good, if a little short.

	"The irony is that one day perhaps of of these great actors will have a biopic for themselves." That's not ironic.

	Without Limits is from 1998...

	@tubagirl4eva: But Billy Crudup didn't star in the movie "Prefontaine", Jared Leto did. Should I have accepted Frank Langella for "Nixon" even though he portrayed Richard Nixon in a different movie ("Frost/Nixon")? Or Toby Jones for "Capote" even though he portrayed Truman Capote in a Capote biopic called "Infamous"? I think that would defeat the whole point of the quiz. Anyway, thanks for your comment.

	I agree with Movie Dynamic. But, at least you leave the door open for sequels. So please do!

	George C. Scott was good in Patton, but it was nothing compared to his Oscar winning role in "Man Getting Hit By Football" a.k.a. "Football in the Groin".

	"Ahhhh! My groin!" Also, "Wilde" is just a terrific movie, even though it's only tangentially related to the line from George C. Scott on The Simpsons.

	Don't know actors too well. Only got two.

	No love for Cromwell or the supremely underrated 1973 Dillinger? The fabulous performance by ___ ____ in Romero? There's probably a few more. I think you covered all of the most popular ones.

	okay so the couple of sentences underneath the link to the quiz said something about Brad Pitt (I skimmed over it) and for some reason I thought the picture of Gandhi was of Benjamin Button. Threw me off for a few seconds

	Crudup should be a bonus answer

	jtrichey:	Jan 7th, 2010 at 04:33 GMT	1 point
	Funny there is a definite breakpoint in % guessed right between Silkwood and Prefontaine. I happened to get every answer right from SIlkwood and above and every answer wrong from Prefontaine and below

	@beatrixkiddo and willy1273 -- I'm afraid I disagree with you. Billy Crudup and Frank Langella just don't fit the quiz topic. Yes, they were both in biopics, but they were not in biopics whose title is the surname of the subject. It would be like having a quiz on state capitals and expecting that Tbilisi should be a bonus answer because, hey, it's the capital of Georgia, just the country not the state. Anyway, the issue is moot. Once a quiz gets published on the main page, the quiz creator no longer has control of the content.

	Even though "Raging Bull" was only Jake LaMotta's nickname, I was hoping to see DeNiro as a bonus answer. Enjoyable quiz though.

	Thank you for including Cobb on here! Tommy Lee Jones played Ty Cobb perfectly.

	I'm probably being too picky, but I wouldn't call Serpico a biopic. It was based on a true story, but I think that's a stretch.

	I kept wanting to type Jordan Catalano for Jared Leto and I knew that wasn't right!
