    I wondered. Game shows aren't really "Arts," I think - not like literature, movies, sitcoms, painting, dance, photography, poetry, etc.

    S it is.

    IQs:

    Did some call you Curunir?
    Did you consent to be captured by a young king as part of a grander scheme?
    Were your brothers Robert and Renly?

    Previous IQs:

    Were you a hard-boiled American detective? Mickey Spillane was an author, not a detective himself. I was thinking of Sam Spade.
    Were you a fictional British prime minister? - Simon Kerslake, in Jeffrey Archer's excellent political novel First Among Equals.
    Were you a fictional White House chief of staff? - Sam Seaborne (if that's who you mean) wasn't WH chief of staff in The West Wing. But I misphrased the question, so I'll try again.

    DQs:

    American?
    First appeared since 1964?

    IQs:

    Did you play a fictional White House chief of staff?
    Did you create the French detective Maigret?
    Did you once describe yourself as an "Aberdeen pub-crawler"?

    Thanks. You can also cut and paste rather than "Reply with quote," which looks better IMHO.

    Previous IQs:

    Have you played an author, a wife with secrets, and an apartment dweller? - Sharon Stone, in Basic Instinct, Total Recall and Sliver.
    Have you played a Southern belle, a slayer of the undead and the young sweetheart of a superhero? - Don't think Sarah Michelle Gellar ever played that third role. This was Emma Stone, in The Help, Zombieland and The Amazing Spider-Man.
    Are you a handsome TV journalist with a "rocky" name? - Yes, Stone Phillips.

    Stone x3!

    DQs:

    First appeared after 2000?
    Appeared in more than one movie?

    IQs:

    Are you a country singer who had a hit with "Innocence"?
    Were you Lincoln's first SECWAR?
    Were you his second?
