	One of the icon ideas for this quiz was another SNL character doing an impersonation, but they decided to go with one from a movie. (The original was this: http://images.sodahead.com/polls/002512589/167872658_s_ANDY_SAMBERG_SARAH_PALIN_large300_xlarge.jpeg)

	alright I'll say it.. Just for a glance I thought Ben Kingsley was Tobias Funke...

	You mean it's not Robert Deniro as Tony Danza?

	Great idea for a quiz (though I wish "Bertie" and "smart math guy" were accepted answers, because I really struggled to recall their actual names...). I'm not one of those folks who is hung up on how similar the actors look to the person they are portraying, but DAMN, some of them are virtually indistinguishable. I think I know what Meryl Streep looks like pretty well, but if shown either photo on its own would be unable to tell you if it was her or Thatcher. In fact, I might not even consider it was anyone BUT Thatcher. A few others like that as well. Sheesh!

	Slightly off topic but every time I see a pic of Fidel Castro I think I'm looking at Liam Neeson! :D

	Gary Busey really does look like Buddy Holly. He doesn't even look like a creepy weirdo!

	The Buddy Holly Story was an excellent film, especially since it was shot before Gary Busey started eating heaping helpings of crazy on a daily basis.

	Oh, and even though it's not a true biopic (more a roman a clef), Mickey Rourke as Charles Bukowski in Barfly would be good for a sequel.

	Fun quiz. For the longest time, I forgot that Stewart portrayed Lindbergh and was stuck with Glenn Miller in my head.

	I never knew that Gary Busey played Mo Rocca playing Buddy Holly. That's what it's about, right? Mo Rocca's dream of making a biopic?

	So many tip-of-the-tongue answers that stumped me. Awesome!

	Very fun quiz!

	I really think that you should take Sir Ben Kingsley as well. Maybe not his real name,(Krishna Bhanji) because no one in the public calls him that, but at least the Sir from him knighthood.

	Holy carp, that IS Gary Busey! I never would have guessed him, but now that I see the answers, I can kind of see it in his face...

	eab21:	Aug 1st, 2012 at 21:31 GMT		1 point
	Streep-Thatcher, Firth-George VI, and Busey-Holly are definitely the best.

	My God, that pic of June Carter! If I hadn't recognized Reese, I wonder if I would have gotten it. Man, this is Oz, people come and go so quickly...great quiz BTW.

	Grr, I forgot there were so many Georges. I tried through George IV, then decided that must not be right and tried a bunch of other names. And I really wanted to type "that guy who looks like Michael Cera but isn't" but managed to restrain myself.

	surprised more people didn't get La Bamba. That movie is on TV every other minute.

	Random comment: Almost didn't get Richie Valens because for some reason I typed out his real last name "Valenzuela."
