Who am I?

[Johnny Dangerously]

Tom Berenger?

After further review, I think this is the winner.

 

[Piotr Rasputin]

Penn won for Mystic River, when Robbins won for supporting actor.

Berenger seems a good guess. But I'll stand by . . .Reeve.

 

[DanOregon]

My guess is Tommy Lee Jones or Morgan Freeman

Tom Berenger?

I'm a dope. When did Berenger play a drummer?

 

[Chi City 81]

How about Morgan Freeman?

Sean Penn has never won an acting Oscar, but he has been nominated 3 times, as has Freeman.

Didn't Freeman win best supporting for Million Dollar Baby?

Val Kilmer

 

[Lester Bangs]

Tom Berenger?

After further review, I think this is the winner.

Eddie and The Cruisers

 

[HC]

My guess is Tommy Lee Jones

He won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for "The Fugitive".

 

[HC]

Tom Berenger?

He wasn't the drummer. He wrote lyrics.

Eddie and The Cruisers

 

[Johnny Dangerously]

Didn't Berenger's character in "Eddie and the Cruisers" play a variety of instruments, including drums and piano? I could be wrong.

 

[DanOregon]

Freeman's never won an Oscar, though everyone thinks he has. A true crime.

I suck for forgetting Jones' Oscar. And I double-suck for forgetting Freeman's. I remember an interview he gave before winning where he said everyone thought he already had one.

Samuel L. Jackson? He's been in enough movies to qualify at least partially for all of the clues.

Dennis Haysbert

 

[HC]

Freeman's never won an Oscar, though everyone thinks he has. A true crime.

He won Best Supporting Actor for "Million Dollar Baby".

 

[HC]

Dennis Haysbert

Does he qualify as a "movie star"?

 

[wedgewood]

What movie was Reeve ever a baseball player? Or a NY cop, for that matter?

 

[Chi City 81]

Freeman's never won an Oscar, though everyone thinks he has. A true crime.

He won Best Supporting Actor for "Million Dollar Baby".

Thank you. I knew I wasn't crazy when I posted that earlier.

 

[slappy4428]

Dennis Haysbert

Does he qualify as a "movie star"?

Jobu says so...

 

[Piotr Rasputin]

Not sure when Reeve was a baseball player or Cop.

But I gave up trying to match more than three categories: no Oscar plus two - and he was an action hero and a missionary.

 

[micropolitan guy]

OK, sorry I was alway so long. Didn't think this would draw this many responses so quickly.

Paythrough is the winner.

Have played, among others, a general (Gettysburg)
A drummer (Eddie & the Cruisters
A New York City policeman (Someone to Watch Over me)
a fundamentalist missionary (IN the Fields of the Lord)
a baseball player (Major League)
a sargeant (Platoon)
and an action hero. (The Big Chill)

Speaking of EATC, where's Frank Ridgeway been?

 

[wedgewood]

Hell, Chris Reeve is as good a guess as any. This question's buggin the hell out of me. I'd have to say Berenger, though can't say when he was ever a superhero.
