A sheep, a werewolf and a walrus walk into a bar.

JK Simmons
Maureen O'Hara
Robert Downey Jnr
Joaquin Phoenix

I thought we already had Maureen O'Hara this round, but looked back and it was Maureen O'Sullivan. I always get them mixed up. When I voted for O'Sullivan I thought I was voting for O'Hara. But still, against Scott Bakula I probably would have done so anyway though the reason given: "because she's probably the biggest Hollywood start Ireland has produced" wasn't quite correct.

We keep motoring on but now without Charleze Theron, Ron Glass, Matt Bomer and Hailee Steinfeld. Perhaps their day will come day in another tournament. 

A couple of interesting clashes again in this group. Will all depend on your favourite type of movie i think.

Julia Roberts - After George Clooney and Brad Pitt found out that she was going to be joining them in Ocean's Eleven (2001), they sent her a card that read "We heard that you get 20 per film" and in it was a $20 bill; the joke was that she reportedly gets $20 million per film. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000210/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

Zac Efron - that's a handy draw for Efron (who isn't awful tbf to him) but I genuinely have never heard of Annakafkakepkemagillicuddy...

Round 1 - Matches 209 - 212

Paul Giamatti - Has appeared in at least three remakes, Sabrina (1995), Doctor Dolittle (1998), and Planet of the Apes (2001).
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0316079/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

Judi Dench - Her father, Reginald Arthur Dench, was from Dorset, England, and her mother, Eleanora Olive (Jones), was from Dublin, Ireland.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001132/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
-----------------------------------------------
Jean Reno - Frequently cast in Luc Besson's early films.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000606/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

Catherine Deneuve - Interests include gardening, drawing, photography, reading, music, cinema, fashion, antiques and decoration.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000366/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
------------------------------------------------
Aidan Gillen - On his role as Tommy Carcetti in HBO's The Wire (2002): We follow Carcetti's journey as a minor player in city politics to a major contender in a mayoral election. He was a young guy who was considered an upstart, who saw an opportunity to do something, maybe effect some change. We see him open up and develop a conscience. I hope he's not just coming across as smarm. I'd say he's flawed, but driven. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0318821/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

Jennifer Jones - Her first Oscar nomination for The Song of Bernadette (1943) marks her first of four consecutive nominations, a feat she shares with Thelma Ritter (1950-1953), Marlon Brando (1951-1954) Elizabeth Taylor (1957-1960) and Al Pacino (1972-1975). https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0428354/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

Ben Affleck - He has played two comic book characters whose most famous story lines were written by Frank Miller: Batman and Daredevil.

Gene Wilder - In early 2001, Wilder was grocery shopping in a supermarket near his home in Stamford, Connecticut, when a mother approached him and asked him if she could tell her kids who he was. Gene said "Yes, if you promise not to say it loud". The mother whispered to her kids, "That's Willy Wonka!". She then turned to Wilder and said, "What a legacy!". https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000698/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

Randolph Scott - His image from his Westerns as an upright, outstanding sheriff or cowboy was so strong that it was paid homage to in Mel Brooks' classic comedy Blazing Saddles (1974). When the African-American sheriff asks the reluctant townspeople for their help in fighting the bad guys, they unanimously reject him. However, when he says, "You'd do it for Randolph Scott!", a heavenly chorus in the background sings "Randolph Scott!", and the townspeople change their minds.
