mega movie trivia (#5)

so this week i've mixed it up a little. there are three sections and there are multiple chances for people to win points. hopefully i won't have people complaining about not being able to get to the points fast enough...suck it up. it's just a game! :)

with that being said, you know how to play...if this is your first time, or if you need a refresher, check
out the rules here.




all grown up...
these actors were fairly well known at one point in time, but where have they gone? some of them are still around, but some, not so much in the entertainment business.

multiple points for each picture are available for these questions. 1000pts for the name of the actor or actress. 500pts for the name of the movie or character they played (some have been in multiple movies or tv shows so this is how you can rack up some points).


1. no one got this, so i'm giving myself 500 points for it (i'm only counting his well known stuff).

the correct answer is bug hall


hercules (voice) .... little boy
the munsters' scary little christmas - eddie munster

just a reminder - these answers have to come from your head...not from the internet. i'm not accusing anyone of cheating, i'm just amazed at the knowledge in some people's brains. it's almost unbelievable.

#1 is not jonathan brandis or c.thomas howell.
