Usually, the movie round at the Old Pequliar produces a list of nine movies and asks what actor or actress appeared in all of them. This week, I reversed the polarity — the first nine questions are clues about actors or actresses, and the final question is what film they all have in common.

It was a grand experiment, but I’ll be going back to the regular way of doing things for the foreseeable future.

3) Who played a mail carrier on a popular sitcom and also got to sweat through an appearance with Sharon Stone during cinema’s most famous upskirt video?
4) Who played a famously crusty producer for WJM-TV and editor for the Los Angeles Tribune, and also the guy who enslaved Kunta Kinte in the miniseries Roots?

9) What major Hollywood star, who now owns most of a casino in Deadwood, South Dakota, drank his own urine in a film sometimes ridiculed as Fishtar?
