Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which actor plays the part of the calm, helpful, debonair night manager?

Answer: Tom Hiddleston

A British gambling site had to suspend betting on who would follow Daniel Craig as the next James Bond because so many people were betting on Tom Hiddleston.

2. From healing to dealing, which famous actor once played a doctor but then played the dastardly arms dealer Richard Roper?

Answer: Hugh Laurie

Among his many credits, Laurie was Gregory House on "House." He is a multi talented actor, director, comedian, musician, singer, and author. Ironically, he wrote a book called "The Gun Seller" in 1996.

3. The night manager's name is Jonathan Pine, but he also uses other names. Which is another identity he assumes?

Answer: Andrew Birch

Roper gives Pine his new identity; Pine has no choice in the matter. For a short time, Pine is also known as Quince.

4. Scenes go from isolated spots to desert locales to crowded streets. The locations are identified on screen as which countries?

Answer: Spain, Egypt, and Switzerland

All the scenery, whether lush, snowy, or arid, adds to the exotic storyline. Pine works at hotels in Egypt and Switzerland. Roper's villa is identified as being in Mallorca, Spain. Some scenes are in England, but Canada, Italy, and Sudan are not in the story.

5. At first, Pine seems content to be a hotel manager. Why does he get involved with trapping Roper?

Answer: Roper was responsible for killing a beautiful lady in the hotel where Pine worked.

Pine had promised to protect the lady that was killed and he felt guilty because he had failed. As an ex soldier, he also knew what destruction Roper could cause by selling weapons.

6. Roper was very leery about the people around him. Then why did Roper accept Pine as part of his gang?

Answer: Pine saved his son from a kidnapping.

The kidnapping was faked by British agents so Pine could pretend to save the son and get into Roper's good graces.

7. The story starts with Pine as a well-trained night manager at a luxury hotel with what name?

Answer: Nefertiti Hotel

The story starts and ends at the Nefertiti Hotel. When Pine has to return to the hotel with Roper, he is afraid that someone will recognize him and reveal his true identity. Pine had deliberately not told Roper he had worked at the hotel. The Hatshepsut is the suite where the lady was killed.

8. Roper's girlfriend Jed appears as a typical flighty party girl, but what secret is she hiding?

Answer: She has a child.

Jed does not want anyone to know that a long time ago she left her child with her sister. She spies on Roper to find out what kind of man she is living with , but there is no evidence that she is spying for Russia or China. She begins a relationship with Pine, not Corky.

9. In the opening scenes of the show, items morph into radically different items. What does the sparkling chandelier change into?

Answer: Exploding bomb

The exploding bomb points to the mass destruction which Roper can cause by selling illegal arms. The pearls and champagne point to the life of luxury he lives.

10. Which prolific author, known for is espionage thrillers, wrote the book that "The Night Manager" is based on?

Answer: John le Carre

David John Moore Cornwell writing as John le Carre wrote over 20 books, many of which were made into movies. His knowledge of espionage comes from working with British Secret Intelligence Service years ago.
