    Did you know that the sequel, Staying Alive was directed, co produced and co written by Sly Stallone?

    <laugh> It think it may have been the lighting in the studio.

    I did know that about Stallone and Staying Alive.

    Actually, JT looks a bit like Rambo in the picture below.

    Last quiz before my holiday.

    One of six children, I was born in the USA during the early 1950s
    Early on I was interested in art and flower arranging, but my mother, an actress, persuaded me to attend community theatre
    I’ve won one Golden Globe and one British Academy Award; I’ve been directed by the likes of Milos Forman, John Huston and David Lynch
    I’ve lent my voice talents to computer games a record by a Norwegian pop duo, and a well known horror film character

    Born in South London during the early 1950s, I am a former England cricketer
    I stayed with the same county cricket team for over 20 years; I made my England test debut in 1978; and I was once named Wisden Cricketer of the Year
    My large build and lack of footwork meant I was often derided in the field, yet I did hold batting records for England; I once took 12 wickets in a single day
    In addition to after-dinner speaking engagements, I coach a cricket team in southern Asia; I was recently diagnosed with cancer

    One of nine children, I was born in the USA during the early 1980s
    My father, a Muslim owner of karate schools and army surplus stores, taught me how to use an AK-47; we lived next door to a crack house, yet I did well at school and soon developed a love for poetry and jazz
    I’ve won one Grammy and been nominated for a further 12; I’ve collaborated with the likes of John Legend and Kanye West; I’ve sold over 30 million records
    I own two clothing lines and have designed trainers for Reebok; I am an outspoken critic of Obama

    Stepping in for Ponds and if the abuse and ridicule is not severe I may continue:

    Born in Dublin in the late 60s,I was raised Catholic in Glenageary by my adoptive parents. I attended St Michael's College in Dublin and hold a master's degree in English Literature from University College Dublin.
    I am a elected TD(MP) for Dún Laoghaire since 2011, currently for the Anti-Austerity Alliance–People Before Profit. I am chair of the Irish Anti-War Movement and on multiple occasions have been cited on war issues in the Irish media. I opposed the Iraq War and helped organise protests against it in 2003, amid concerns that the war would lead to thousands of unnecessary deaths.

    Born in Belfast in the 40s to an Orange Order member who outlived me.My first job was where I excelled in my profession and never really hit those heights again.I struggled with alcoholism all my life and which led to my early death.After my death there was many memorials in my name including a million commemorative five pound notes.

    Born in the late 40s to an accountant father,I have 1 brother and 1 sister.Educated in Dorset,I was the drummer and harmonica player in a four-man school band and from there went to train at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.One of my first major roles was acting opposite David Essex in Godspell.I started to gain parts in television and 1981 played a part which brought me to a wider audience and gained a Golden Globe nomination though not successful that time I did win 2 of them along with a Emmy and an Oscar.I support many charities and have donated to the Labour party as well as being outspoken on many issues.I live in a castle in Ireland with my wife and 2 sons.

    Link please gentlemen,

    I'm not sure it is within the rules to have a new quiz when the answers haven't been given from the last quiz. I shall let it slide this time though.

    Interestingly enough it was Stallone who helped Travolta bulk up for the role.

    One of four siblings, I was born in the USA a couple of years before WW2. During my childhood my father was away a lot as he served in the US armed forces. At school I was very good at sports and was clever but preferred clowning around than studying. When I dropped out of school I got a job in a shoe repair shop. I then left that and joined the Navy for four years. I soon became involved in stand up comedy and got huge exposure after appearing on The Tonight Show. I am most famous for my role in a TV sit com, where the ratings were unsurpassed. These days I am best known for being a "Ladies' man"


    I was born in Australia in the late 80s. At a very young age I attended classes in ballet, hip hop, contemporary dance and tap dance. My first acting role came in an Australian children programme in where three teenage girls turn into mermaids. In 2011 I moved to LA to pursue my acting career. I was cast in a supernatural drama series that premiered to over 3.5 million viewers. I am getting pumped by a guy who stars in The Vampire Diaries.


    I was born in the latter half of the 70s in the USA. I am one of four siblings. I grew up on a dairy farm that my parents owned so we got to drink as much free milk as we wanted. I like milk. During my school and uni days I was very good at American football and had a trial with the Minnesota Vikings. I was dropped pre season. I soon took up wrestling. I won the NCAA wrestling championships and amassed a 106-5 win record in four years of wrestling. I joined the UFC in 2007.
