Did this person appear as a main cast member of a television show or movie that was released in the past year?

Nicely done conq!

I’ve learned a valuable lesson today about leaning on Wikipedia for guidance.

I guess use that if my guess if the answer was yes to the self-improvement question.

Curious to hear his answer, Stephen Covey could be a fit.

Doesn’t fit the dies after 2000, but I like the way you’re thinking!

It isn't Dr. Seuss as some of his works have been adapted. Same for Roald Dahl etc. That's a good point. Do you think this counts as an adaptation of Very Hungry Caterpillar? The wikipedia page for this references it as being adapted for television, which generally we've been using as our first sou...

Oh, yay team!

Happy to have been the ball passer on that one.

Very interesting narrowing, A presumably comedy/dramatic pairing from a movie with some extraordinary situation that seems appropriate for kids and adults alike. Maybe like a Back to the Future or Ghostbusters or Bill and Ted type thing. Except those don’t work since one is a team and the others are...

For sake of summarizing. 1. Fictional 2. Human 3. Two males 4. First appeared in video form (tv, movie, video game, etc) 5. Not related 6. Presented as good/heroic 7. Do not wear masks 8. Has not appeared in more then four movies/video games/tv seasons together 9. Not primarily known for video games...

Worth exploring further to narrow down. Is their relationship to each other based off an occupation based connection? (i.e. co-workers/associates, entertainment duo, crime solving detective and his assistant, police partners, tour boat captain and incompetent first mate, nutty doctors who work toget...

Both of them are human.

. Abort! Abort!

Have they appeared as a duo in their original video-based medium four or more times?

i.e. movie franchise with 4+ releases, 4 different video games, tv series with 4+ seasons, etc

Human?

I've already used my free guess, so I have an idea that I want to throw at the group: Harry Houdini. The "etc" part of the theater question (and the hint about being a performer) made me think of the U.S. Vaudeville scene and I started looking through lists of performers and came across Houdini: He...

Alexandre Bisson

That asterisk is throwing me off. I think we need to use our last question to try and figure out what it means. Anyone have any ideas?

I’ll add a little more clarity to the asterisk after the last questions been asked.

And I just noticed the number was off and we skipped 13, so still one more question in play. 1. Real person 2. Male 3. Not currently alive 4. Involved in politics or arts 5. Not native English speaker 6. Died before 1st Jan 1990 7. Not primarily known for being involved in politics 8. Not a painter,...

I guess I'll take the last question.

Were any of his works written in or first performed in the Americas?

If so, I'm going to guess Federico Garcia Lorca.

Yes.

But not Federico Garcia Lorca

1. Real person 2. Male 3. Not currently alive 4. Involved in politics or arts 5. Not native English speaker 6. Died before 1st Jan 1990 7. Not primarily known for being involved in politics 8. Not a painter, sculptor, or architect 9. Died on or after 1st Jan, 1900 10. Not born in the Americas 11. Ha...

Nothing so far presents the candidate from being in mainstream English-speaking entertainment... (just not a native English speaker) Was he ever nominated for a Tony Award, Olivier Award, Critics' Circle Theatre Award, Irish Theatre Award, Academy Award (Oscar), BAFTA, or did he win a Nobel Prize? ...
