New Game: IMDb Names!
Okay, once upon a time I made a lot of music memes - name the song for the lyric or song snippet. And then I stopped. But I did a search for something on IMDb recently that suggested a whole new meme.
If you search for a person without their complete name, the IMDb will give you a list of possible matches. To help you figure out which person matches, they give you one feature on which they have worked in the past. Sometimes, the answer isn't what you would expect.
As an example, if you look up Quentin Tarantino, his feature is "Actor, Pulp Fiction"
So, below is a list of 20 actors and actresses. Your task is to list what IMDb associates with them as what I'll call their "signature role". Post a comment with your guess, if you get it right I'll reveal. You are not allowed to search the IMDb for the answers (at least not before you make a guess) and if you were in the car when we developed this game, you must recuse yourself for any actors that appear in this list that you know the answer to.
Also, you may notice some patterns to the names, that was only because that was how I chose who I'd include, it doesn't necessarily reveal anything about the answers.
