There's a reason I rewrote a couple of the rules before this round.

Sorry! I only had a couple of minutes earlier, and was prioritizing easy ones to answer.

This is a tricky one. I think that he would be famous regardless of whether or not he has or has not gone missing*, and I found a Wikipedia list of people who have disappeared mysteriously; he is not on the list. But obviously something is unusual here given my "pass".

*Compare Harold Holt: being prime minister of Australia is obviously a big deal, but the main thing I know about him is that he disappeared.

Has it been alleged, at one time or another, that this person was replaced by an impostor, or that this person was an impostor themselves?

Oops, that was a second question in a row.
Two questions in a row by the same person are allowed (but not more); would you like me to answer it?
No harm in it, I think.

After a night's sleep (and seeing your most recent question), I worry that my answer to this question was misleading. I think most people would say the answer is "Yes.". I can offer a question refund if you would like (though I think that someone will get it before you hit 20 questions).
