Not fair, he is a Dutch painter, you know. We don't say "De Leeuwenkoning" instead of "The Lion King" either ... uhm ... never mind, point taken .

Were you president of the USA when they got involved in WW2? Darn, I think you've got me there. I know it's Roosevelt, I know there were two Roosevelts, but I don't know any first names.

Did you play the David Helfgott as a man in the movie 'Shine'? Never heard of it ... Kurt Russel?

Were you a prominent anti-war activist and hippie icon in the 1960's? Can we go back to WW II ? Have yourself a general.

Beats me, ask away.

General: Are you European?
Yes

Stumper : Are you the British actor who has played - 'Den Perry'( a rival nightclub owner in Phoenix Nights) and The lead singer of Creme Brulee in the series 'The League Of Gentlemen?
I can see you have great taste in comedy . But I assume you mean someone other than one of the four actors since none of their names start with an "R". So, I have no idea. Take a general.

This is difficult to answer. If I'd take this question literally, the answer would be no. But that would bring you guys on the wrong track. So I'll answer Yes (although she did contribute to sports too).

No

Stumper: Are you a Russian Monk?
Raskolnikov ? Again, a general.


Stumper : Have you just lost your Heavyweight Boxing Crown to Roy Jones Jnr?
