I think that's 18 questions. I am afraid that my initial pass on the visual arts question led some of you astray. I think it is fair for me to award an additional question or two.

Is this person mainly famous for their contributions to film or acting?

Here is another hint. I would be willing to bet that every single person playing this game right now is familiar with at least some of his acting work.

Hmm. But its not film, network TV or theatre, leaving really just streaming.

That's a pretty good guess - he definitely gets credit for lots of people being familiar with his work. But no. (He was born in Arkansas, and Spongebob was on television.)

You said this character was born in either Arkansas or Louisiana

Plus, as I understand the answers given thus far, he would be one of the stars of a network TV show. Nickelodeon may be cable, but my questions defined "network" as "non-streaming" (I defined it that way because ALL networks are cable these days, no one "broadcasts" over the waves anymore).

Is a clarification required here?

From the QM's earlier post, yes, Nickelodeon would have counted as network TV.

Is this person most famous for acting in a show or shows avaibale on a streaming service (one you need to pay for, not YouTube)?

No. Between this and previous questions, you have successfully ruled out any shows on anything like CBS, Nickelodeon, HBO, Hulu, or Netflix (obviously a non-comprehensive list).

So, my hunch is that this is an actor from an advertisement or PSA. But I can't find anyone who fits.

I pointed out that "Spongebob was on television" in my original response to the guess; that was my way of showing that Nickelodeon shows were ruled out.

Without offering an opinion one way or another on this, any guesses should be able to explain this, given the fact that I am well aware that we have participants from at least three different countries (Canada, UK, USA) playing this game:

I don’t always guess the Dos Equis Most Interesting Man in the World, but when I do I guess Jonathan Goldsmith.

Can't be, he was born too early.
