"Hollywood and TV Shows" theme!

Hi friends

It's been such a long long time since I actually made a quiz I almost forgot that I was a part of quizzing at all!

Please find some questions that I made for a quiz in my college. The theme is Hollywood and TV Shows. Please send the replies in a week i.e. before 3rd January, 2009 EOD to the email vrs_nitk@yahoo.com with the subject as "Re: "Hollywood and TV Shows" theme!" Answers and scores will be posted in the comments section and also sent to the quiz groups (Quiznet and Quizkrieg) on January 5th.

Each question carries 1 point each. No partial marks will be given.

Please do not leave it as comments to this post.

Questions:

1) Cast of which classic TV Show.

2) One of the good movies starring Tom Cruise in a very unconventional role. Name the movie.

3) Identify this movie. (Hint: It was made into a Bollywood movie too, which flopped)

4) Before Mel Gibson walked in and told him/her what the movie was actually about, X thought that the movie was a laid back, surfing film. X was accidentally whipped twice during the filming of that movie and this has left a 14-inch scar on his/her back. X has also admitted to being struck by lightning while filming a scene and during the “death scene”, he/she is said to have experienced hypothermia during the dead of winter in Italy. Who is X?

5) Identify the two characters shown below.

6) "X" played three different roles in the same movie. Identify X and the movie. (He is shown below in the 3 different roles that he played in that movie)

7) At the time during which the movie "The Matrix" was being conceptualized, X was quickly becoming one of America's favorite movie stars and was offered the lead role. X declined, instead doing another sci-fi flick Y in the same year (1999), which perhaps became one of the biggest disappointments in Hollywood. You can call it fate, but X’s wife had a good role in the two Matrix sequels. Who is X and which movie was Y?

8) Easy as it goes - Identify the actor on the right.


9) This scene is from one of the final clips from the last episode of which cult-classic TV Series?

10) Ending with an easy one. This TV show was perhaps one of the most popular shows that had a female actor as its lead role. It is listed in TIME 100 best TV shows of all time. Which show?
