1. Richard Harris played this magical man for the first two movies in the series, before succumbing to Hodgkin's Disease in 2002. Michael Gambon took up the role upon Harris' demise.
    Albus Dumbledore
    Severus Snape
    Bilbo Baggins
    Gandalf


2. After donning a series of rather silly looking wigs, Gene Hackman bared his pate to play this evil villain in 1978...or was that really a skull cap? Kevin Spacey's bald head, when he reprised the role in 2006, looked a lot more convincing.
    Lex Luthor
    General Zod
    The Joker
    Darth Sidious


3. Morgan Freeman handed the powers and duties to Jim Carrey, but the role had been previously played by George Burns, Alanis Morissette and voiced by Graham Chapman, to name a few.
    Answer: (One Word - three letters)


4. Eccentricity was the key to both Gene Wilder's original performance and to Johnny Depp's reprisal of this role.
    Tarzan
    Dr. Dolittle
    Willy Wonka
    Charlie Bucket


5. Standing at 6 feet 2 inches, Michael Caine would have had more trouble squeezing into that Mini in 1969 than Mark Wahlberg would have when he reprised the role in 2003. Wahlberg's height of 5 feet 8 1/2 inches would have made all the difference in the world!
    Charlie Croker

    Ann Darrow


8. This valiant champion of the oppressed has been played, in varying degrees of seriousness, by Errol Flynn, Kevin Costner, and most irreverently by Cary Elwes. Brian Bedford even lent his voice to the Disney animated version.

9. The 1943 version of the film starred Claude Rains as former violinist Enrique Claudin, who adopted another identity after being disfigured by acid.
