This is (obviously) the fictional edition of my other hit thread, Name That Dead Guy!
This has similar rules to the other one but with a few changes to make things fair. You are not allowed to use a dead from a book/movie/whatever as your dead guy and say he's dead only because the book/movie/whatever takes place in a time that ensure's he's dead by now. If you're doing someone from, say Lord of the Rings or Elder Scrolls lore however, then that's a different story assuming that they're dead by the time of another book/game.
It's not a rule, but please be considerate of other people. If you have any decency then you won't pick a character from a new and trending show/movie/whatever (I.E. try not to spoil things).
People who are dead in the beginning of a crime solving show and have no real part are strictly prohibited as that would just be cruel.
The other rules are in the other thread which I linked to. I can't think of any other rules at the moment, if I do I'll post them.
Right, so I don't read all that much, there are only a few fictional things that interest me too terribly much and some of that will be pretty easy, and I don't want that, so I'll probably be sticking mostly to obscure (but not too obscure) Elder Scrolls characters. Whether they are just in lore or in the games.
I am thinking of a dead lady from the Elder Scrolls, not exactly obscure, but I rather doubt it'll be quickly guessed. For this one, I even allow you to use the Elder Scrolls wiki as an aid for your guessing. Good luck and good guessing!
Sorry it's been so long since I've replied to your various queries...
@ pangtongshu No, that is not the movie in question!
Was the movie a comedy?
Indeed it is! A very famous one at that!
Action?
There is a fair amount of action in this film, but I wouldn't say it's the main focus!
Romantic?
Yes, it does sort of center around a love story. Though there are also various characters who have other quests they are looking to complete!
Is the book from which it derived still popular today?
I'm not entirely sure how popular the book ever was, but I think the movie is much more widely known than the book.
Was the character in the book or added for the movie?
No, this character was in the book as well as the movie!
Was the actor who played him a big name actor?
He's a pretty famous short character actor, with a very distinctive appearance and an even more distinctive voice. Probably one of the most distinctive voices in Hollywood today!
Is this one of those movies/books that has like a million redoes of it?
The movie has not yet been remade, and though rumors have spread, it doesn't look like they will be making one for quite a while... which is good, because the existing one stands alone just fine!
Was it a mystery movie?
Not really... I mean, plenty of movies have a few mysteries within the plot that don't get solved until near the end, but the centralized story line did not revolve around a mystery!
