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

That is actually true, but Rockhpper is much closer to the one that I was looking for.

I'm actually off on my hols tomorrow so I think I should give it to Rockhopper so as not to stall the game. The link is actually that they were all partially dubbed by Marni Nixon. She did some of the top notes in Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend, parts of The King & I and parts of Moreno's singing in West Side Story (she also dubbed all of Natalie Woods. At points though she was dueting with herself and Moreno and Betty Wand who dubbed some parts).

Obsidian
The Owls
Sake

Rice?

Wow! That was fast!

Obsidian is Todd Rice.

Rice University's teams are the Owls.

Sake is made from fermented rice.

Go Quis!

I knew Obsidan and Sake. Didn't know about The Owls.
Hmmmm.........

Alexander Hamilton
Benjamin Franklin
Salmon P Chase

All are (or have been) portrayed on US currency, though none were ever President.

I thought that might be easy. I assume Salmon P Chase gave it away.

That pretty much is his claim to fame.

Elvis Presley
Groucho Marx
Sebastian Cabot

Hint: Think an urban legend (or perhaps a superstition) about celebrities.

They all were "sighted" after their deaths?

They all died within the same week (3rd week of August, 1977).

That's it, Exnihil. All died in mid-August of 1977. Elvis died on the 16th, Groucho on the 19th and Cabot on the 22nd.

It's a classic example of the old "celebrity death happen in threes" thing.

Your turn!

Ted Lange
Lorne Greene
Sir Laurence Olivier

All appeared on "the Love Boat"?

Oh, dear God, I hope not!

(Double checks just to make sure he didn't overlook the obvious.)

No, only two of the three ever sailed on the "Pacific Princess." Sir Larry, of course, was the odd man out on that one.

All played bartenders?

To the best of my knowledge, no. (If you know for certain that they all did, just let me know.)

I will give a hint: you guys are on the right track regarding roles, but it's not so much what they played as who.

Well I know Lorne Greene played Commander Adama and Ted Lange played Isaac the bartender. SO I would say they are know for playing charaters with biblical names.

Not quite it. Another hint (kind of a gimme): I mentioned before than the answer lies in who they played. Well, although the question references 3 actors, the answer will reference only 1 role.

They have all played the title role in "Othello"?

That's the one.

"Othello" ranks among my favorite of Shakespeare's works, and it warms my heart to no end that it links Laurence Olivier and "Isaac" of the "Love Boat". Lorne Greene, on the other hand - though I've not seen the performance - apparently turns in one of the worst interpretations ever of the "Moor of Venice".

Control of the board passes to you, Bicycle Repair Man.

Next:

Sir Bailey Barre
Sir Wilfred Robarts
Horace Rumpole

Fictional British barristers?

That was quick!

Sir Bailey Barre is from Gilbert & Sullivan's Utopia, Limited.
Sir Wilfred Robarts is from Agatha Christie's Witness For The Prosecution.
Horace Rumpole is of course from the Rumpole of the Bailey series by John Mortimer.

Over to He Who Wanders.
