	X and Rabbit got me. Thought they were Patrick Stewart and Eminem... But a brilliant quiz.

	dummo:	May 1st, 2011 at 14:32 GMT		2 points
	I think the clue 'Chinese' is discriminatory, well maybe not discriminatory but to assume Jackie Chan should be singled out as the only famous chinese actor is naive thinking.

	RamSam:	May 1st, 2011 at 16:15 GMT		6 points
	@dummo: I don't think that the creator of this quiz is trying to suggest that Jackie Chan is the only famous Chinese actor, but rather that he is the first actor that comes to mind when you hear the word "Chinese." The same holds true of the "Scot" question: Sean Connery is not the only famous Scottish actor, but he's the first one that comes to mind. The current numbers show that over 70% of people thought of Jackie Chan when answering, so I would have to say that the quiz creator gave a fairly accurate clue. My only complaint with this quiz is that some of the clues are a bit vague. For example, "King," "Insane," and "Tragedy" (coincidentally the three least-guessed answers) could apply to any number of actors, and would not necessarily be automatically associated with the three answers that were given.

	@RamSam: The first Chinese actor I think of is Bruce Lee... second would be Jackie Chan and as you're allowed second guesses I got it, but it's still rather arbitrary. It's the same with some of the other ones you pointed out. Let's face it, 'king'could be a number of possibilities.

	It won't accept "Harrelson" for "Woody"!

	AlexRandom:	May 1st, 2011 at 20:09 GMT		9 points
	Nice quiz, some of the answers are a bit subjective but it can't be helped. As for me, when I hear Woody I first think of Allen, though I suspected it couldn't be that simple.

	debbiedoesnothin:	May 1st, 2011 at 20:52 GMT		5 points
	Woody makes me think of Allen and Harrelson. Insane made me think of Rourke and Busey and Bale. Scot made me think of Whitaker (Last King of Scotland.) King? Dicaprio wasn't even on the long list of names I associated with that. (How about Colin Firth who just won an Oscar for playing the king of England???) Westerns - Eastwood, Cooper, Ladd, Rogers, Autry. Nose - Depardieu, Durante, Hope. Entourage - Grenier, Piven, Conolly, Dillon. Rabbit - Stewart. Maverick - Garner, Gibson. Not a good quiz, IMO.

	maaxwell:	May 1st, 2011 at 20:58 GMT		-1 points
	Terrible quiz. Loads of the clues could have multiple answers - rabbit, pencil, entourage, tragedy, X, Scot, and Barker are all terrible suggestions for those actors. "Kimbel" is spelt wrong too.

	istalkblink182:	May 1st, 2011 at 21:59 GMT		2 points
	some of these are clever but a lot of them are either too obvious (i.e. not a lot of thought went into them) or too vague. nice idea, poor execution

	serendipity:	May 1st, 2011 at 22:32 GMT		6 points
	I made the quiz and tried to think of one word that would not be too easy or too hard, and for quite a few I needed to make compromises somewhere. Yes, Jackie Chan is not the only famous Chinese actor, there are many others, but I thought that word made people think of Jackie Chan. Also, John Wayne is one of the most famous western actors in history, so a word to describe him without clearly giving away that its john wayne would be westerns. Some may be too vague or too easy still, and if you guys have any suggestions, I'll make more changes to make the quiz better.

	serendipity:	May 1st, 2011 at 22:36 GMT		4 points
	Also, some words are supposed to fit for more than one person and some are supposed to be vague and make you think. The word rabbit could make you think of a lot of different things, but I believe one of the most significant movies with a rabbit would be Donnie Darko, and throughout that entire movie, Jake Gyllenhaal's character has a very strong connection to the rabbit. It might not be the first answer you think of, but it is not vague enough to not be thought of.

	Jesuslovesusall:	May 1st, 2011 at 23:19 GMT		5 points
	I think the quiz is good, the whole point is to guess and think...if the clues were easier the quiz would be no fun. I loved Stallyn, Pencil, and Barker. Also I disagree with some of the people who dislike this quiz saying many have multiple answers. maaxwell said pencil rabbit barker x and scot were all terrible suggestions, but when you think about it, there are really only one or two actors that fit the word well. Yes, rabbit could be Stewart or Gyllenhaal, but the beauty of sporcle is you can type in more than one guess. Pencil doesn't really apply to anything except Ledger's line. Same with x barker and scot. great quiz

	@Jesuslovesusall perfectly stated. this quiz should be published!

	debbiedoesnothin:	May 2nd, 2011 at 00:04 GMT		2 points
	@serendipity: I think it's got good potential if you get rid of some of them that are too vague and add a few more. Some suggestions: Duke for John Wayne (his nickname), Noon for Gary Cooper (High Noon), Yippee kay yay (however that's spelled) for Bruce Willis, Shirley for Leslie Nielsen, Frankly for Clark Gable, Attica for Al Pacino, Trigger for Roy Rogers.

	everybody has a nose

	dummo:	May 2nd, 2011 at 02:10 GMT		-2 points
	Also if you're going to use 'Wicker' as a clue, then the answer should be Edward Woodward because the original 'Wicker Man' film is actually good and memorable unlike the horrible Nicolas Cage remake.

	serendipity:	May 2nd, 2011 at 02:32 GMT		1 point
	I think the word Wicker is a decent clue because even though the movie wasn't great, Nicolas Cage is still thought of with the word "Wicker". I'm open to other suggestions though.

	I put Pat Morita for Miyagi

	kingfish:	May 2nd, 2011 at 14:29 GMT		3 points
	my first guesses: Miyagi=Pat Morita, Johnny=Billy Zabka(sweep the leg!), Flubber=Fred Mcmurray, Scot=James Doohan, Blondie=Debbie Harry, Passion=Jim Caviezal(gibson didn't act in it), Nose=Karl Malden

	someone_else:	May 2nd, 2011 at 20:22 GMT		3 points
	@ kingfish...I did the same thing for half of them. Sadly, I also tried Dante Basco and Dev Patel for "Zuko"...blush

	Canas:	May 2nd, 2011 at 22:29 GMT		-2 points
	THIS QUIZ SUCKS. you really should rethink your life and never make another quiz again.

	sexygenius292:	May 3rd, 2011 at 06:58 GMT		1 point
	Cool Quiz, should definitely be published. My only advice would be to change Miyagi to something else because Pat Morita is like an icon as Mr. Miyagi. Really really good quiz though!

	canuckliz:	May 4th, 2011 at 12:56 GMT		1 point
	I stopped playing part way through when Morita, Gibson, Garner etc were not accepted. Needs work.

	Derek_Agony:	May 4th, 2011 at 17:49 GMT		1 point
	This basically boils down to an opinion quiz, so it only gets one globe.

	roguetrader:	May 9th, 2011 at 03:47 GMT		1 point
	Ok, I realize that it's for fun, and that there are multiple associations with these clues. But come on! There can be only one "nose" and that's Gerard Depardieu!

	Canas:	Jun 2nd, 2011 at 04:15 GMT		0 points
	who the **** is gerard depardieu
