Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Played Forrest Gump, Jr., in 'Forrest Gump'?

Answer: Haley Joel Osment

I didn't realize it until I saw the movie recently, on cable. This must have been one of his first significant roles. IMDB shows his credit for this film as Osment, however to be fair I will allow both spellings.

2. His character was crucial to the third 'Star Trek' film, but this actor only appeared in the last few moments?

Answer: Leonard Nimoy

Leonard Nimoy directed 'Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.' He only showed himself during the last few moments of the film, from the time he and Kirk are beamed aboard the Klingon Bird of Prey until the end.

3. He played King Richard in 'Robin Hood: Prince of Theives'?

Answer: Sean Connery

He appeared at the marriage of Robin to Maid Marion at the end of the film. That's a small cameo, for a huge actor.

4. He played King Richard in 'Robin Hood: Men In Tights'?

Answer: Patrick Stewart

A funny parody by Mel Brooks. I think it is better than the original.

5. General Thade's father in 'Planet of the Apes'?

Answer: Charlton Heston

He got to repeat his line from the original film, 'Damn them all...damn them all to hell!' And, then he died.

6. The voice of Darth Vader, in 'The Empire Strikes Back'?

Answer: James Earl Jones

James Earl Jones overcame a stuttering problem to become one of the greatest orators ever. He was the voice for Darth Vader in all the films in which this character has appeared in black costume to date (March 2002). I consider the role small because James is never seen, only heard. David Prowse physically played Darth Vader, except for Revenge of the Sith where Hayden Christensen physically played Darth Vader. Frank Oz was the voice of Yoda.

7. This Rat Packer played himself in 'Moon Over Parador'?

Answer: Sammy Davis, Jr.

An awesome talent in song and dance. A true entertainer. Witness to the 'death' of the dictator played by Richard Dreyfus, during the carnival celebration. He sang the Parador National Anthem (to the tune of 'Beseme Mucho').

8. In 'Rocky IV' he entertained the crowd before the first fight?

Answer: James Brown

The hardest working man in show-business scored a last hit with 'Living In America,' from this soundtrack.

9. He played the county clerk in 'The Blues Brothers'?

Answer: Steven Spielberg

Friend of the director and fellow director, himself, makes a cameo.

10. He played the recording engineer at Jim Morrison's final sessions in 'The Doors'?

Answer: John Densmore

The Doors drummer makes a cameo as the recording engineer during a recording of Jim Morrison's poetry sessions.
