Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly TRIAD: only for serious mindbending!

Did they all portray cannibals?

First guess at four days, but that's not correct, to my knowledge. Of course Anthony Hopkins did, but I'm not aware of the others doing that.

It does have to do with a commonality in a roll that each of them played. It was three different movies, three different characters, but a quite specific link between them, quite well known is certain segments of popular culture. A hint is that I'm quite confident they are the ONLY three actors to share this link in the movies. However, there would be others if you included television.

Each of them were in one of the Mission: Unwatc- ... I mean, Mission: Impossible trilogy of movies.

That's true, and that's most of the answer, but my thoughts were a little more specific than that. Remember, I said I cannot think of any other actors who share this link, at least in movies.

Basically, to take it further, what did their rolls in the Mission: Impossible movies have in common, that is shared by none of the other actors. It's something that would not be any big deal to anyone who isn't a fan of the TV series.

they all played versions of original series characters?

No, in fact none of them did necessarily (Jon Voight is the only person in the movies to play a character who was definitely on the original series). But they all had a function in the movie that was a key part of the original series--in fact, one of the most famous parts of the original series.

They did the voices on the tape that self-destructed?

That's it--definitely one of the most famous aspects of the original series. The differences here being that in the original series that voice was never a character, but in all three movies they were.

all three (diliberately or not) give Scientology Lad his missions?

More or less correct, Kent, but Lance had what I was looking for.

Ok, here we go...

They were all born in India.

Cool. I thought I was going to have to give hints.

(Actually, it's 'British writers born in India', but you got the important part.)

Take it away.

Zodiac

Serial killers? Or is there more to it than that?

Slightly more. Basically, they're all VERY well known...but just how productive were they?

I am pretty sure tha Jack only killed six people. So I would guess that they all only killed six people.

That's close enough - they all (as far as is known) killed less than ten people. Their notoriety far outstrips the actual damage they did.

Yours, Quis!

*fewer* than ten people. That's one of my grammatical bugbears, sorry. But it's now got to the point that I end up getting really wound up about it.

Bevis,

The thing that really sets my dad off is when people say "wicked good". Where I live, the word "wicked" is used as an adjective meaning "really" or "very".

Now back to the game.
