The Lemon Fool

I only have one name, but I starred in several blockbuster movies.

Who am I?

Eventually Barry Humphries' pseudo namesake, originally a lawyer.

Yay

I was idley scrolling though IMDB last night when Jaws was on. (I like finding out if there were any prominent modern day actors in minor roles and then spotting them. It keeps me happy, ok?)

Anyway....

At least Bruce got a mention.

The poor pooch seen below wasn't listed anywhere -

That was Elma, a cute little dog owned by a guy called Steven Spielberg at the time of filming...

...and I'd just like to point out that Ted officially changed his name to Ted Clubber-Lang in the movie (in homage to Mr T's character in 'Rocky 3')

And just, for those curious (if any!) about my reply:

In Finding Nemo Barry Humphries voiced "Bruce", the (non-fish eating) great white shark, which was named after the animatronic shark in Jaws, which itself was named after Spielberg's lawyer, Bruce Ramer.

There's only one Bruce and that's Bruce (Campbell), he even fronted a parody about his own career

"My Name Is Bruce"

....do you need any more evidence than that?

OK, sometimes people think he's really called Ash, but that's a different story.

Always, Make Love! The Bruce Campbell Way

I get the feeling I will be tested on this at the end of the week and my KPI's could fall dramatically based on a poor result

OB joke

They say 50 is the new 30.

The police still gave me a speeding ticket though

“A cannibal once took my sister to see a Russell Crowe movie?”

“Gladiator?”

“No I really miss her.”

The sun is just appearing here is East Yorkshire. Will still need more than shirt with the wind though.

Thanks for the fun facts
