Question 1 of 10
1. Getha Scoop is the reporter for the "Quincy Quibbler", who previously featured in my quiz "Hello Goodbye". She is back for a project on action film actors, but as she went over the travel budget of the newspaper on her last project she is now only allowed a simple one star hotel in the city of Quincy to have her interviews. This is not an environment Getha is accustomed to and she looks slightly out of place in the shabby hotel in her designer outift, but she will have to make do.

Already her first guest announces himself. From his charming accent Getha deduces that he has a European background. He tells her that he was a strong man back in the day and has now chosen a very different field than acting to further his ambitions. Getha does notice a certain barbaric quality about him and fears he might terminate their appointment at any moment. But as her guest continues she notices a more gentle side to him that would appeal to children at a kindergarten. Who is the first guest that Getha is speaking to?
Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Already her second guest arrives and Getha does notice that he comes in empty handed. "He could have at least brought some chocolates, as the country he originally comes from is known for those." Getha is a little afraid of this fierce kickboxer type, but realises she has nowhere to run. The man looks a little like a street fighter, but when he begins to speak she notices a more gentle side. He surprises her by demonstrating a few nice ballet routines. Who is Getha speaking to in her second interview? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. Getha feels that the interview session might be something of a rocky ride, as she watches her third guest approach. He seems to be a pleasant and well groomed man though. He has slighty slurred speech, as he begins to explain to Getha about his career. His performance might not be worthy of an Oscar and somewhat over the top, but she does like it when he seduces her to dance the tango with him. He turns out to be a specialist at most of what he does. Who is the third guest of Getha? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Getha's fourth guest seems very peaceful. She is surprised when he plays the guitar for her. She wonders if there are still macho action movie heroes. Knowing his reputation, she does realise he would be hard to kill. As he stares into the sun, she sees he can also be a dangerous man. She would like to be under siege with him by her side. Who is the fourth guest that Getha has invited to her hotel room? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Getha is almost half way done with her interviews. Her fifth guest looks like he is very skilled in a fight, yet manages to charm her with his sweet smile. He looks clean shaven, so he obviously manages his razor blade well too. He asks to go through the questions quickly, as he has a money train to catch. Getha nearly reaches the boiling point while staring into his charming eyes. Who is the demolition man she has invited as her fifth guest? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Getha's next guest makes quite a fast and furious entrance, appearing to be on a limited time schedule. He bounces up and down the room a bit. Getha tries to act as a pacifier and tries to calm the man down a little. The iron giant seems to find himself again and begins to talk to Getha about his career. But suddenly he rushes off explaining that he is on a mission to save Private Ryan. Who is the sixth actor to act as Getha's guest? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. The next man that enters the room has Getha wondering if he could be doing a little moonlighting on the side. He does seem to be quite the tough guy though, who would die hard. He would come back with a vengeance probably. Her sixth sense starting to kick in, Getha realises that this man is nobody's fool. The man looks like a perfect stranger, but who is her seventh guest? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. Getha is ready to receive actor number eight. The man who enters somehow reminds her of Elvis. He could easily be the strongest man in the world as well. She is vaguely reminded of the tango steps she did with another guest, but this man seems more interested in cash. After answering all the questions, her guest has a bit of a breakdown. He is late for another appointment and it is still 3000 miles to Graceland. Who is actor number eight? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Getha is nearing the end of her interview sessions. Her ninth guest is a fresh-looking man with something of a royal air. He is dressed in black, which makes him look like quite a bad boy. He might even be an enemy of the state. But as he begins to rap, she is immediately taken in by him and is ready to go into the wild, wild west with him. Who is the ninth guest in Getha's hotel room? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. Getha is a little tired by now, but still has enough energy left to receive her tenth guest. She notices by his slight accent that he is again a man with a European background. He looks like a true master of the universe. A man who might be about to have a showdown somewhere in Little Tokyo. Getha tries to avoid direct contact, but still finds herself enchanted by her last guest, although he may have a hidden agenda. He could be both punisher and peacekeeper. Who is the last guest to grace Getha with his presence? Hint

Answer: Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in 1947 in Thal, a village in Austria near the town of Graz. From an early age he was into sports and he started bodybuilding from the age of 14. He won several bodybuilding competitions, including the Strongman competition held in Munich in 1967. He later became Mr. Olympia at the age of 23.

He wanted to pursue an acting career, but it proved difficult because of his accent. His first part was in the 1970 movie "Hercules in New York". He had his breakthrough performance in 1982 with the movie "Conan the Barbarian". Later he starred in popular films such as "The Terminator", "Total Recall" and "Last Action Hero". He was not just an action movie hero; he also starred in much gentler movies such as the comedic movies "Kindergarten Cop" and "Junior".

Arnold had political ambitions as well and had already stated earlier that he was a Republican. He was a candidate for the post of Governor of California in a 2003 recall election, succesfully defeating governor Gray Davis to acquire the position.

One of the meanings of the word "karate" is said to be "empty hand". Jean-Claude has also studied ballet for about five years. Van Damme moved to the United States in 1982 to pursue an acting career. He had his breakthrough role in the 1988 film "Bloodsport", in which he played the part of Frank Dux, a real life martial artist. He would go on to star in movies like "Kickboxer" , "Nowhere to Run" and "Street Fighter".
