Point of clarification: question 14 asked about starring in a film. Did this person star in the film referred to in the answer?

I'm not sure at what point you would consider someone starring as far as just appearing in it.

I'll say that he's not the main character, but was on screen for a good portion of the film and is an easily recognizable character.

FYI there are 44 movies that fit, and here is a quick link to them for further research as the game continues: http://www.imdb.com/search/title?box...e_type=feature

Also each movie in that list shows a list of "stars" - perhaps use that as the qualifier?

Thank goodness Tyler Perry was born in 1969. I was going to have to kill myself if the answer was Tyler Perry.

According to this list, he would be considered a star.

And if we filter that down to comedies we are left with 15:

http://www.imdb.com/search/title?box...e_type=feature

Then getting rid of the animated movies, there are 9 left. Of course, this assumes that the movie he was in was a live-action comedy, but it's a fairly reasonable assumption to make imo.

My hero shot is Rob Coddry.

I wouldn't jump the gun on the movie being live-action or a comedy.

Not jumping the gun, but I do think it's worth asking if it's one of those 15 movies on that list.

Ah, for sure. I though you were already going to base future questions on those assumptions.

Based on this spew, I think it almost has to be Andy Samberg or James Franco now?

Actually it can't even be James Franco because he is in Alien: Covenant.

So, unless I interpreted that spew wrong, it has to be Andy Samberg.

If it isn't Andy Samberg, then this will be the third straight game I've been involved in where we've been led astray when it should've been locked up.

Is it Andy Samberg?
