	got stuck trying to fit will arnett and patricia arquette

	For Adam, "comic actor" might be stretching it at this point.

	shazzbot:	Apr 23rd, 2013 at 05:51 GMT		6 points
	That was really fun, with a good mix of names and some funny juxtapositions. Mexal, it can't be Will Arnett because he spells his name with two L's.

	One of the most unique quizzes I've played. Must have taken a lot of work and it was worth it. Thanks!

	serf_in_USA:	Apr 23rd, 2013 at 10:03 GMT		13 points
	Had a lot of fun on this one.

	All I could think of was, "William T. Riker? That can't be right, well done brain..."

	When I saw a clue featuring someone with the forename Elgin, my first thought was that his surname must be Marbles.

	Love this quiz! For those of us that can only get answers on the tip of our tongue but can't quite spit them out (AKA Old Age), the rhyming answers gave me the boost I needed!

	S_Curve:	Apr 23rd, 2013 at 13:28 GMT		6 points
	I hate guessing letters in a name when the correct one turns out to be "Y."

	hawksdd:	Apr 23rd, 2013 at 14:28 GMT		4 points
	So apparently I know how to spell Luhrmann and Zoeller but not Mailer.

	matt01:	Apr 23rd, 2013 at 14:40 GMT		1 point
	That is far too difficult for a non-American, I didn't even get half of them.

	U.S. President Zachary QUINTO / Pulitzer Prize winner Norman BATES / Thanks, pop-culture-obsessed brain! //// For the record, since I'm not a US citizen, I confess I don't know more than maybe five or seven US presidents. But since they pop up in quite a lot of quizzes, I should've learned them by now! (I do give up on the sports-related questions, though.) Excellent quiz, @survivor! Please make more.

	Oddish:	Apr 23rd, 2013 at 16:26 GMT		2 points
	If you're willing to be lenient on Olsen/Olson, then you should be with others 'difficult' spellings (Luhrmann and Zoeller come to mind)

	DamnSporclitis:	Apr 23rd, 2013 at 16:57 GMT		0 points
	Wheadonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! Also Zach Morris was never president? Dang.

	zuzu65:	Apr 23rd, 2013 at 17:16 GMT		7 points
	I hate when I know it, but cant figure out the spelling! This one was fun for sure.

	Reykjavik:	Apr 23rd, 2013 at 17:41 GMT		3 points
	Why are Xolotl123 and matt01 being downvoted? This quiz IS very US-centric. Sometimes I'll look in the comments for warnings of this before deciding whether or not to play. As these comments were downvoted I thought they must be wrong this time. But 46 americans out of 54 answers says they are right.

	Statto2:	Apr 23rd, 2013 at 18:55 GMT		1 point
	Agree that this is a little US-centric but I still did better than most and the only one I got right by guessing was Bailey. Might have got Heaton and Wheaton if the clues had been singer Paul and tennis player David!

	No offense, but quizzes made by US citizens are going to be US-centric. Just as quizzes made by UK citizens would be more UK-centric. The individual is making a quiz based on their knowledge. If you don't like it, find another quiz.

	bugsy2301:	Apr 23rd, 2013 at 23:29 GMT		2 points
	Just an FYI but there's a comic actor called Ben Miller in the UK (well, he's been in a few fairly big movies too - Johnny English, for one)

	While it's definitely better when everyone can play, if you have to have a US Centered quiz to do something different, like this one, I'd say it's worth it. Of course, I'm from the US so my approval on this may not actually mean anything.

	MaggieJaneD:	Apr 24th, 2013 at 16:44 GMT		3 points
	Don't you hate it when you think you did really well and you end up in the bottom 8th%

	Reykjavik:	Apr 24th, 2013 at 18:56 GMT		2 points
	I wasn't criticising people for making US-centric quizzes. I was criticising idiots who downvote people who accurately labelled this quiz US-centric. As I say, I find accurate labelling helpful.

	DeepThought:	Apr 24th, 2013 at 19:23 GMT		2 points
	I think the quiz was too people-I've-never-heard-of-centric. I don't know if that's cause I'm Canadian, or if it's just that I'm that bad with celebrity names. Haha :P

	gamer2000:	Apr 26th, 2013 at 01:13 GMT		0 points
	I hate to say it because I almost never feel this way, but maybe there's too much time allowed. I had time to guess the last 10 or so that I wasn't sure of
