Primarily portrayed on screen (movie or TV) by an American actor who was over the age of 25 when he first portrayed the character?
I will pass on this because it's worded in a way that could be answered differently depending on how it's interpreted.
Then I will word it more precisely.

I'm confused, are we really on 19? It looks to me like we're on 16. But I also don't see any duplication except in that summary?

Yeah, I don't know what "duplication" you're seeing, Jamie. The summary looks good except 17-19 shouldn't be there.
