ReplyDeleteCuriously, an animal associated with a role played by this actor is never mentioned in either the Old or New Testament.
ReplyDeleteNice shot, David.
DeleteWell thank ya Paul!

ReplyDeleteThat definitely confirms my answer. May be TMI, though. Had I not already figured it out earlier, your post certainly would've done it for me. Check, please!

John Hurt played in the movie Alien and had a baby alien erupt from his chest. In the movie Spaceballs he lampooned that roll in a diner and when the alien broke through his chest he said "Oh no not again!"
DeleteIs this puzzle a punishment?
ReplyDeleteIn honor of Black History Month, here's a related puzzle. Name two actors with the same last name. The first name of the better-known actor is a book of the Bible, and the first name of the lesser-known actor is an anagram of another book of the Bible.
ReplyDeleteIf I had not hit on the better known actor I would never have been able to search for the lesser known actor.
DeleteMort, are you the type who likes to go around hitting on actors? LOL

ReplyDeleteThis actor once played someone from the bible.
ReplyDeleteNow that I've found it, I looked up in the IMDb the movie in which this actor played someone from the Bible. I found one movie that fits your clue, BUT C'MON!! - that movie's a comedy!
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteAs I posted near the end of last week's thread, I know of two actors, one famous and one not-so-famous, both of whom have their respective first AND last names BOTH each being books of the Bible - no anagramming of any of the four names necessary.
ReplyDeleteI know of one of the two.
DeleteHappy Valentine's Day to one and all. Apart from solving the puzzle--frankly, I am mortified it took me this long to solve--I also did manage, like Leo, to find one of the two actors with both first and last Bible-book names that Enya seems to have found, although the names Leo and I discovered could be different.

ReplyDeleteNot sure what film you're referring to. I was thinking of a synonym for the actor's name.
DeleteI hope I am not in violation of the Rule of Blaine. Legolambda might know.
ReplyDeleteThis week's puzzle is a good one because this actor's movies and personal background are so rich in detail. Had this person not held out against a disapproving establishment, we might have lost a great one. Oh, well...
Pax.
Well, I've currently found ONE name in the IMDb whose first & last names truly fit the bill. First name a book of the Bible, last name a true, non-trivial anagram of another book of the Bible, - only he's a director, NOT an actor!
ReplyDeleteI've found one who is a musician.
DeleteUWS
ReplyDeleteWell, there's two seconds of my life I can never have back. It was the second name I thought of. This actor also had an older sibling in politics.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, the 2nd name I thought of is someone who did not have an older sibling in politics. Though the actor did have siblings, at least one of which was a brother. I wonder if there are multiple answers. --Margaret G.
DeleteUnknown: Margaret G. i agree with your post. Was concerned for a minute about political brother. Thanks! I recall you from English man blogs site.

DeleteThe first name of the actor I actually knew is not a book of the Bible. But I won't win any actor trivia games. He's on the list but pretty far down.
ReplyDeleteFamous? Definitely prodigious! There are at least two other actors with entries in Wikipedia that have the same last name and different Biblical book first names.

ReplyDeleteI thought this would be really easy, but the only answer I have is for an actor who's no longer alive.
ReplyDeleteThe puzzle didn't mention dead or alive.
DeleteTrue. I seem to have injected that stipulation myself. Thank you!

DeleteI'm not stretching the truth at all. I haven't gotten the answer. Temperance my good woman, temperance.
DeleteAh yes. More Thursday.
DeleteWell, it can't be John Amos because his name doesn't require any anagrams and we know how Will adores them. I may watch a movie tonight that I've had queued up for decades which stars the intended actor.
ReplyDeleteEven though you have not given away the intended answer in your post above, you nevertheless have given away one of two actors to which I had eluded in a post of mine which you can still read if you scroll way back up.

ReplyDelete"The Seduction of Claude Debussy" is the fifth and final studio album by Art of Noise, released in June 1999 in the United Kingdom and the United States, and December 1999 in Japan. It features a line-up of Trevor Horn, Anne Dudley, Paul Morley and Lol Creme, along with other appearances from John Hurt, soprano Sally Bradshaw, Rakim, and Donna Lewis. As it had been 10 years since their last album, this album carries a completely different sound to that which had defined their four previous albums. The group blended the music of French impressionist composer Claude Debussy with drum and bass, opera, hip hop, jazz, and narration, to create a concept album which they described as "the soundtrack to a film that wasn't made about the life of Claude Debussy."

This puzzle initially stimulated a distressed feeling in me.
ReplyDeleteSorry, no clue here, just small talk. It's a lot easier to work with a list of books in the Bible than to have to pinpoint a single character.
ReplyDeleteBtw, speaking of Bibles, has anyone read the Revised New Jerusalem? It's been out about a year.
How about the English Standard Version? Anybody have any favorite versions? We can have a big Blainesville Bible study. We can discuss the verse where a man ties his ass to a tree and walks three miles!
That's a bit of a stretch I'd say. Ricoculous. I was taught in bible school he only walked on for 2 miles. Please check your facts before posting such nonsense.

DeleteI will state that it was first run during this current millennium.
DeleteNo. I hear the "Message " is good though i have not read it. Have you heard of Bible app U? recommended to me.
ReplyDeleteThe puzzle was a pain, but I did have fun coming up with names that *sound* like actors you've never heard of--Personally, I'd watch a buddy cop movie starring Jude Human and Esther Scat.

This puzzle made me feel bad.
ReplyDeleteIt hurt me.
DeleteIs it TMI, if someone told me if both testaments are involved?
ReplyDeleteYes. It is similar to indicating the gender of the actor. Both of these were not stipulated in the puzzle's presentation. Therefor TMI.
DeleteI was afraid you'd say that. Thanks SDB
DeleteC.a.p. Take the palm of your hand and smack your forehead - because that is what you may do on Thursday.

ReplyDeleteTake two Bible books, and append St. before the name of the second one to get another famous actor
ReplyDeleteToo bad there isn't a biblical book entitled Jill.
DeleteHint: If you take these same two books without any anagramming or appending the St, you already have the name of another actor (who I just learned of from this thread). Both are known for television.

DeleteNot being of the Christian faith, I needed some help. I had to look up the list of books of the Bible.
ReplyDeleteI have an answer. The book which anagrams to the last name is itself a first name. Also there is another actor with the same last name whose first name is not a book of the Bible. Add some punctuation to this actor's first name to get the stage name of a celebrity.

John Hurt and Ruth
ReplyDeleteMy Hint:
"Take the last name of the actor and then add the last name of another actor and add an R at the end to get the name of a movie of recent times." HURTLOCKER
That should be HURT LOCKER. I also forgot my first hint: "royal pain" indicating hurt.
DeletePaul just reminded me of another I hint I forgot:
Delete"How cold-blooded!" RUTHLESS
I was rushed (no pun intended) yesterday and failed to mention that Sondra LOCKE is the actor whose last name + R when added to the last name of our actor names the movie, HURT LOCKER.
DeleteJOHN HURT —> JOHN + RUTH
ReplyDeleteMy clue (which I hoped was sufficiently oblique and buried in a post long enough to make it invisible):
“…frankly, I am mortified it took me this long to solve….” “mortified” —> hurt
I thought, wrongly it seems, that if I had instead made reference to how “painful” it had been to solve (as, e.g., skydiveboy did in his “royal pain” comment, with a clever nod to Word Woman), I would have been Blaine-smacked.
To ron: the Mississippi John Hurt song I alluded to was “Stack O’ Lee Blues” (1928). Even though the first version I heard and was most familiar with was Lloyd Price’s, Hurt’s is, imho, the best. In case you’re interested, here’s the YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiMyrXzWp8M.
David wrote, “Curiously, an animal associated with a role played by this actor is never mentioned in either the Old or New Testament.” I replied (not realizing that this was exactly what he was hinting in his excellent clue), “Go to the Apocrypha...” Elephants (as in _Elephant Man_) are found in Maccabees.
ReplyDeleteJOHN HURT (RUTH)
ReplyDelete> Curiously, the actor's father was a vicar and the actor's brother was a monk.
I originally posted "... his brother was ...", but changed that when I realized the actor's sex was unspecified, which earned me a "Thank you, jan" from Blaine, right before he deleted my appreciated post.
> 40,000 in the U.S. annually.
Channelling my inner Dave Barry here. That's the number of toilet injuries ("john hurts") every year. Now, a lot of those are just the result of vaso-vagal syncope; when I was an EMT with my local ambulance squad, we often found victims in the bathroom, which is the most inconvenient place from which to extricate them. A doc in my practice once had a personal near-miss in the rest room in our office when the Flushmate toilet tank mechanism exploded. Shards everywhere!

* Seven Riffing-Off-Shortz-And-Mace puzzles, in which we shall ask you to open to the Book of Thespialonians.

My answer this week was John Hurt (whom I recall from "Midnight Express"). I didn't submit "James Hester."
LegoWhoAsks"DidAnybodySubmitJamesHester?"
"I may watch a movie tonight that I've had queued up for decades which stars the intended actor." --> JOHN HURT starred as Winston Smith in 1984, which is obviously set decades ago. I did have this movie queued up on Amazon Prime...not for decades...but it has since been unavailable to watch. :-(

DeleteJohn Hurt and the book o' Ruth.
ReplyDeleteSomebody pointed out that Hurt's father was a clergyman and his brother is a monk. I did a (Wikipedia) research and discovered that his brother is indeed a Benedictine monk. That was the source of my "Rule of Blaine" comment. And of course St. Cloud is close to Saint John's Abbey in Minnesota, that's why I dragged Legolambda into it. The "oh, well" at the end was supposed to be reminiscent of Orwell, that is to 1984, Starring John Hurt. He is one of my all time faves.
You dragged me more appropriately than you may have realized, Wordsmythe. I graduated from Saint John's University and from Saint John's School of Theology in Collegeville, MN, which is also home of Saint John's Abbey.
DeleteLegoMonastically
His brother had some legal issues accordung to what I read.
ReplyDeleteI submitted JOHN HURT (RUTH)
ReplyDeleteI also found the lesser known actor DANIEL O'SHEA (HOSEA)
And I also noticed JOHN AMOS, requiring no anagrams.
My clue was "believe it or not..." which pointed to Ripley. That was the name of Sigourney Weaver's character in Alien, the movie in which John Hurt had an extremely bad case of indigestion.
John Hurt --> Ruth
ReplyDeleteEarlier this week I posted, “This actor had some serious chest pains.” But Ben asked me to take it down as TMI – so I did. Anyway, my comment referred to that iconic scene in Alien when the alien offspring was born by bursting through Hurt’s chest.
Sorry to jump on you, Chuck. That scene is just too iconic, me thinks.
DeleteHere on this generous blog, I am always grateful on a Thursday for the answer that was unfindable to me. I am surprised that there was ever a question about the sex of the actor. There's only Ruth and Esther in what is reliably accepted as "The Bible." That's why Ruth and Esther get mentioned in the "Sabbath Prayer" in "Fiddler on the Roof." (DuckDuckGo the song and try not to tear up.)
ReplyDeleteRuling out women was a foregone cinch, thanks mostly to the A.D. 325 First Council of Nicaea. Before that, Mary Magdalene was a strong candidate for a chapter. In a more honest reality, it would be absurd to think she was a whore. To be fair, the people in 325 are no worse than we are today, so I'm just saying that I knew it wasn't a female after ruling out Ruth Gordon.
