Answer: Jeffrey Jones

Jeffrey Jones started his career in theater, before moving to film in 1970. He has appeared in movies such as "The Hunt for Red October", as Skip Tyler, "The Crucible", playing Thomas Putnam, and the TV series "Deadwood", where he played A.W. Merrick.

Answer: Bill Duke

Bill Duke has directed many episodes of TV shows since 1982. Two of his recent documentaries were nominated for the NAACP Image Award. He was appointed by former president Bill Clinton to the National Endowment of Humanities, and to the California State Film Commission by then-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

4. I was cast as the warden on "Prison Break", appeared in "American History X", "Escape from L.A", and "Grey Lady Down". Who am I?

Answer: Stacy Keach

Stacy Keach also appeared in the cult favorites "Up in Smoke" and "Nice Dreams" as Sergeant Stedenko. Another long-running role of his was Mike Hammer in the various "Mike Hammer" TV series and movies.

5. Who am I? I've portrayed an army captain in 1976, a submarine captain in 1990, and an FBI agent in 1991. Many wondered what happened to my FBI character because I wasn't in the sequel.

Answer: Scott Glenn

Scott Glenn didn't return as Jack Crawford in "Red Dragon" or "Hannibal". In the "Silence of the Lambs". In special Edition DVD extras, Glenn says he was given a tape of two serial killers by John Douglas, the FBI agent Glenn's character was based on. The tapes and the movie plot so disturbed him that he refused to play Jack Crawford in the sequels.

Answer: Linda Hunt

Linda Hunt has also appeared in some horribly bad movies, such as 1991's "If Looks Could Kill". She is also the narrator of the presentation that starts the public tour at the International Spy Museum.

Answer: Sean Bean

Sean Bean has played over 20 characters that have been violently killed, mostly while playing the bad guy. In fact, he played the villain so often that he took the roles in "Troy" and the "Lord of the Rings" movies specifically because they weren't the villains.

8. You've seen me in the "Harry Potter" movies and in 1991's "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves". One of my first major film roles was that of Hans Gruber. Who was I?

Answer: Alan Rickman

Alan Rickman said of his role as Hans Gruber, "As far as I'm concerned, I'm not playing 'the villain'. I'm just playing somebody who wants certain things in life, has made certain choices, and goes after them."

Answer: Wilford Brimley

Wilford Brimley's Liberty Medical commercials have become a cult hit, and have been spoofed countless times. For those of us old enough to remember commercials from the 1980s, John Roselius was the guy from the first "This is your brain on drugs" commercial, and John Moschitta Jr. did the fast-talking Micro Machines and FedEx commercials.

Answer: Andrew Ridgeley

Yes, he's none other than "The Other Guy From Wham!". His acting credits include 1984's "Wham!: Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" and the announced upcoming film "I am Khama", slated for 2018.
