Friday Funday Trivia: Don't You Know Me?!

 

Below are 3 montages containing 15 photos of performers who are best known for playing characters in which they altered their normal physical appearance (heavy makeup, wigs, etc.). You have to correctly identify the performer.

I'm going to be a little lenient on this quiz. If you are unable to come up with the performer's name, you can still earn half credit if you can at least identify their most famous role in which their physical appearance was altered. For example, if you don't the name of the actor in the first photo, you could say something along the lines of:

That's the actor who played (insert the name of the character). For all you smartasses, don't even think about trying to get half credit for any of these by actually saying "That's the actor who played (insert the name of the character)"!

To enlarge the montages, click on them.  Below the montages are the point values for each photo (40 pts total). Along with the values for each photo, there are 3 bonus questions as well totaling 10 pts.

 
If you are a Friday Funday Trivia virgin about to be touched for the very first time, please read the following rules before playing:

* The game is pub style so looking up the answers, using friends/family/co-workers, etc. for help,  is not allowed.

* If you are the only player to correctly identify a photo/photo set, you earn 5 bonus points. The first player to submit their finalanswers to me will earn 2 bonus points.

* Please do not post your answers in the comments section. Instead, send them to ultfan@gmail.com no later than Friday night (9/28) at 11:59 PM EST. The answers will be posted on Saturday, September 29th.

Not an official rule: If you have no clue, feel free to come up with an intentionally funny answer. Although you won't get credit for a correct answer, you'll get a thumbs up from me for originality, execution, and showmanship. What can I say, I love to be entertained and I'll take it any way I can get it!

Have fun and good luck!
