4. Not primarily associated with the grey countries on the demograpghics sheet.
5. Not a real non-human, nor a fictional woman.

9. Not primarily appearing in animated form.
10. First portrayed in a medium intended to be read (book, magazine, comic book, etc.) and was later portrayed by an on-screen appearance in movie(s) or TV?

SCRATCH this guess. The actor's nationality part is wrong. Anthony Hopkins is Welsh and Mads Mikkelsen is Danish.

Dang.

Wouldn't this mean the character was created after 1990, though? Reacher's in '97, I thought.

This may be stretching the definition of “read,” but to get a free guess in before Q20: Waldo (Where’s Waldo?)

We haven't really narrowed the genre down enough. Should Q20 be about genre?
