Gerald Ford? (connected to Watergate via his pardon of Nixon)

Gerald Ford held more than one political office so it couldn't be him anyway.

That's a requirement not a disqualifier.

Neon is someone I invited so be nice to her.

I'll try and be noble.

Indicted in connection to Watergate?

I think he would pass the dartboard test!

Gonna take a stab at John Mitchell.


If wrong, were they convicted in connection to Watergate Scandal?

Connected to "Watergate"?

Dead?

I haven't heard of him either, and it was kind of sneaky damo how you quietly changed the "dart" rule

Jamie previously changed it to brick. That method is very dependent on where you are. And 50% way too high anyway (for 20 questions anyway).

I'll go George Sanders I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yep.

As I said most will have heard him - as Shere Khan in Jungle Book.

I’ll go with Hugh Griffith then as a random stolen free guess.

John Houseman?

No

JH has 2 things in common with the target which none of the other guesses have.

I've had my free guess but someone else might like to have a go at Sir John Anthony Quayle. He meets all the criteria but I don't think he'd pass the 50% dart test tbh. I don't recall seeing a reference to darts in the latest interpretation of the rules. A Wikipedia article is now the suggested ben...

Regarding the "well known" ness I doubt there are many on here who have not heard him.

With the info to hand it is easy to come up with a finite list (about half an hour's work at a guess).

I believe there is still one question remaining.

I didn't say I checked them all, I checked all that looked familiar. So my conclusion is I don't know the guy.

Fair enough. When I looked it up the first year for supporting actor is 1936. The first one I looked at was Basil Rathbone. Fits the bill.

I just went through the entire list of nominees for best supporting actor and clicked every name that looked familiar. No Brits that died between 1950 and 2000, so I guess I am out.

Didn't do a good job then.

I found one in less than a minute.
