	Any quiz that features Batman, God, AND Miss Marple gets a thumbs up from me.

	Great quiz!

	Nice quiz idea. Be aware that it does not accept "Jane Marple" as a valid answer :(.

	Good Quiz, but I think you should accept John Ryan as well, since that's the characters real name. Oh, and Jane Marple.

	Great quiz, but in your clues, you misspelt Laurence Olivier.

	@Drebin31 and @AnotherSchmoe; while David Niven never portrayed James Bond in the official series, he did so in "Casino Royale", a spy spoof from 1966.

	BobMillahhh: For your information, "The Pink Panther" was never the name of the character. It was originally the name of the diamond that was the subject of the first Clouseau film. Name calling doesn't make you sound smarter, either.

	Thanks for the suggestions on Miss Marple and Jack Ryan, and Olivier, but once the quiz is published, apparently I can't edit it.

	Very clever quiz. I agree about the Niven comments. Oh, @BobMillahhh, regarding your comment: This is Sporcle. Get with the program. Your upbringing is showing.

	Great quiz! I'm really bummed I didn't get them all. :)

	Guy Madison played "Wild Bill" Hickok, not Wyatt Earp.

	mrgenova:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 15:40 GMT		2 points
	Tried for a while, but then i just started typing random historical names. That seemed to work pretty well.

	bruceN:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 16:42 GMT		4 points
	You are absolutely right, CptColumbo - Hugh O'Brien played Wyatt Earp on TV, not Guy Madison. My bad - will have to get Sporcle gods to fix it though.

	A TV version of this would be fun.

	Fun quiz, with challenge. How about a sequel?

	rct:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 19:55 GMT		2 points
	For a sequel, you could even reuse a few characters, such as Joan of Arc (Jane Weidlin, Renée Jeanne Falconetti from "The Passion of Joan of Arc", and Florence Delay from "The Trial of Joan of Arc") and Jesus (Jim Caviezel and many others).

	how can james bond be included without sean connery as one of the actors listed?

	daHOOK:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 20:48 GMT		2 points
	I tried 007 and it was not accepted.

	bruceN:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 21:31 GMT		5 points
	Leroy573 and daHOOK: I deliberately left Sean Connery out of the "James Bond" list to make it a little less obvious. Also, I tried not to repeat any actors in the quiz - Connery appears in another clue. I don't think 007 should be acceptable - I'm looking for names.

	David Niven played Bond in a non-EON film. Even though he did play a version of James Bond, I think George Lazenby or Timothy Dalton should take his place in this quiz.
