What's in a name?

Due to the enormous success of the movie quote quiz I posted a couple of weeks ago I’ve decided to create another quiz for my multitude of adoring fans. I’m sure all four of you will enjoy it.

This time you need to identify the actor. I’ve provided 10 groups of character names. Each group contains 4 characters that were all played by the same actor in different movies. It’s up to you to figure out which actor played all 4 roles in each group, resulting in 10 actor names.

For bonus points, identify the movie each character is associated with.

Obviously the idea of the quiz is to see how good your movie-character knowledge is; not how good your internet research skills are. So avoid using the internet, or any other source, to identify the actor names and movies. After all, if you all used the internet to do this quiz, you would all get 100% and where’s the fun in that? So raise your right hand and repeat after me: ‘I will not cheat. I am not a cheater. Cheaters never prosper. Cheaters get scratches all over their DVD collections and there is never enough butter on their popcorn.’

Email your answers to this email address and I’ll pick a winner by July 13th, 2006. Good luck!
