Thanks Sandy.  Another [I think.] easy one.  Who is this ?

He was usually a "Bad guy" in the Movies he was in.

Absolutely right Dorian.  Nice to see you in the game.  Who are we looking for now ?

Jack Palance (/pælns/ PAL-ns; born Volodymyr Palahniuk (Ukrainian:  ); February 18, 1919 November 10, 2006) was an American actor.^[1] Known for playing tough guys and villains, he was nominated for three Academy Awards, all for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, receiving nominations for his roles in Sudden Fear (1952) and Shane (1953) and winning almost 40 years later for his role in City Slickers (1991).

Born in Lattimer Mines, Pennsylvania, the son of Ukrainian immigrants, Palance served in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. He went on to briefly attend Stanford University before pursuing a career in the theatre. He made his film acting debut in Panic in the Streets (1950). Following his roles in Sudden Fear and Shane, Palance starred as Count Dracula in the 1974 television film Bram Stoker's Dracula, and played crime lord Yves Perret in Tango & Cash (1989). He also served as the host of the ABC television series Ripley's Believe It or Not! (19821986). In 2006, Palance died of natural causes at the home of his daughter Holly in Montecito, California.

Who is this?

I think he's an Actor.  If he is, I've only seen him in one Series, and I can't remember his name.

Not Omar. He most famously portrayed a detective in a long running TV comedy series. His character was always in the company of a female assistant who would help him deal with his many phobias and obsessions.

If I were any good with PhotoShop, I would frame his photo and hang it up slightly askew.

Is there a rule that if nobody comes up with the right answer, I go again? If so, how long do I wait?

With those clues is he Adrian Geoffrey Monk

 That's the character he portrays, not the actor.

Anthony Marc Shalhoub.

That's him. Your turn.

Thanks Dorian. Who is this fella

Just had a thought Sandy.  Would that be Barak Obama ?

No, but he looks like him here. Our man is an actor.

Wesley Snipes ?

Not Wesley Snipes but you would definitely know an older photo of him. I'll post some more clues tomorrow.

OK it's clue time our man is not only a well known actor but is also a narrator my wife recently recorded a series of documentaries from SBS1 that he narrated. That photo of him is as a young man he is 84 now and has a beard and mustache he has a skin condition called Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra a skin condition that creates dark raised areas, most often in people with darker skin tones. This makes him look as though he has a few freckles on his face. 

Morgan Freeman ?

You've got him Sheba, over to you for a pic.

Morgan Freeman^[2] (born June 1, 1937) is an American actor, director, and narrator. Noted for his distinctive deep voice, Freeman is known for his various roles in a wide variety of film genres.

In 1992, Freeman starred alongside Clint Eastwood in the western revenge film Unforgiven; this would be the first of several collaborations with Eastwood. In 1994, he starred in the prison drama The Shawshank Redemption for which he received another Academy Award nomination.

Thanks Sandy.  That last clue was the clincher.  Here's an easy one.

Claude Rains

That's him BG.  Who's next ?

William Claude Rains was a British actor whose career spanned almost seven decades. After his American film debut as Dr. Jack Griffin in The Invisible Man, he appeared in such highly regarded films as The Adventures of Robin Hood, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, The Wolf Man, Casablanca and Kings Row, Notorious, Lawrence of Arabia, and The Greatest Story Ever Told.

Thank you Sheba. This is an easy one...

Sure is BG, but I have to stay with friends tomorrow night, after a hospital procedure tomorrow, so I won't name him.

I reckon it is William Franklin Beedle Jnr.

I understand he didn't like Fords, preferring an Australian motoring icon 

That's the one Ted, better known as William Holden.  I note you are at Manly West Qld. I actually grew up in Manly West. Haven't been there for years.

Over to you:

Big Gorilla,

Manly West has changed over the last few decades. Much of the open ground is now housing estates. You may remember the old Hargreaves/Edgells food factory. It has been gone a while with land now an well-off estate with houses to match. Look on Google Maps and Street View to check the area out.

Anyway, for a post here. This Australian man has been doing well in his field in USA. I have posted a very early photo of him as youngster, following a recent childhood pic of Audrey Hepburn. Probably will need to post a more recent photo as a clue later.

This aussie is currently in the USA and likes to stir things a bit.
