My acting career turned out well, even though I was a dropout from New York's High School of Performing Arts and turned down major roles in several notable films. I worked odd jobs before breaking into theater, eventually winning both an Obie and two Tony awards. An early screen part as a junkie got me an audition for 'The Godfather,' and I would star in many crime dramas over the next 30 years, playing both criminals and cops. After many nominations, I won an Academy Award in 1993. Who am I?

I am an avid soft contact wearer (the kind you put in solution at night and throw out after 1 month of use) who will be flying over seas soon. My whole travel time will be about 40 hours and I was wondering if it is safe to leave my contacts in threw my flights, even though I will be sleeping? I am an Australian pending to go overseas to England. One of my grandparents was born in England, and one of my grandparent's grandparents was English as well. How long would I be able to live in england if i got my passport and visa? I was a spy plane pilot, a park ranger and spent a semester at Oxford where I wooed an English novelist, and met my wife in the Mindo-Nambillo forest of western Ecuador. I'm fairly well learned and spoken. I'm happy to hand out advice, though those asking don't always understand the true meaning of my wisdoms. Who am I? WHO AM I... Born in the usa, one of two children whose father was an accomplished musician and producer. I grew up around music and could play the piano as a young teenager. My father recognised my singing talent and encouraged me to concentrate on singing. He sent a demo tape to the group I would eventually join. Liking what they heard they sent me a song to record for another demo (which would later be a #1 hit for us). Growing up, I was always a bit of a rebel which was evident recently when I made an outspoken political comment that caused a bit of a furore. Becoming an accomplished singer/songwriter and multi talented musician with this group, who have recorded numerous #1 singles and albums with sales in the millions....I AM?

See how some famous English or American people would be called if they were Italians. Some translations are stinkers, be warned.
