I spent a long time wondering why it wasn't accepting Jason Bateman for the Arrested Development/Juno answer. He's in both and should be an alternate answer.

Seth Rogen is spelled incorrectly, that's probably why no one is getting him.

Entourage actor did a lot of film before he did TV - Gross Pointe Blank, PCU, Say Anything. He's kind of the opposite of this quiz, as opposed to Tom Hanks, who should be up here for Bosom Buddies.

I agree that Jason Bateman should also be an alternative answer, especially since he had more screentime than Michael Cera.

I missed Rogen, not because it's spelled wrong, but because when you think Seth Rogen, why would you ever think "The 40-Year-Old Virgin"? Not "Knocked Up" or "Pineapple Express" or "Zack and Miri", but "Virgin"? Hell, he's got a more important role in "Superbad", and he even co-wrote that one.

you confuse me. It does not name virgin up there, it names pinapple express for seth rogen and I spelt it with an 'a' and it still accepted it. I also typed in jason bateman and it came up as michael cera. I have no idea what you people are talking about.

This may be nitpicking on my part, and there is no technical mistake here, but I think Tim Allen is way more known for being Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story movies than Santa Claus in the Santa Clause movies.

21/30 - would have only been 20, but typing in "Fox" for Michael J. also gave me Matthew, which I'd have never got, so that was nice. Probably also would have picked up on Applegate had you put Samantha Who as the TV show

great idea for a quiz - and well done for not picking the really obvious films - this makes you think a little harder and earn your score.

i don't know why people assume the part an actor is most well known for must be the clue used. I have seen this logic in other quizzes as well. I would say more people know David Spade from Saturday Night Live than from Just Shoot Me. Which is why the later makes for a better question. Why should it all be obvious?

At first I was going to complain about people like jeremy Piven because he has done many movies before entourage-it didn't give him his start. But then I realized the "Quiz goal" says to name the actor/actress that appeared in each show and movie. The title/description of the movie just makes it seem like it's actors whos shows launched their careers. That may want to be considered for change. Fun quiz regardless

I don't understand why the answer appears in the list spelt correctly as 'Seth Rogen' but it doesn't accept that it only accepts 'Rogan'. I agree about Jeremy Piven. He was a well known supporting film actor well before 'Entourage' started. He's done the opposite to everyone else in the list by making the transition from film to television.

Philadelphia is the WORST movie you could've picked for Denzel. He's been in sooo many more. He was the only one I didn't get. A more current movie would be better, especially since St. Elsewhere is so old.
