As you can see, this week's trivia question deals with jobs, since tomorrow is Labor Day. I strated to wonder, what do movie characters do for a living? How do they support their families? So simply name the movie, the character and what thier job is. And as a bonus, name the actor (this is probably the easiest part.) (And be careful, some things may not be as they seem)

Okay, Wow, what a response (Thanks for the Birthday song Kim)
So, as Kim says, back to the trivia:
A. X-Men - Ororo Monroe (Storm) played by Halle Berry, is a teacher at Xaviers school for gifted children.(Kim and Impman combined to answer right, I thought someone would answer superhero or something, WD Impman! And Kim too for getting her real name, Ororo)
B. ? (Not Our Man Flint, but close) - James Coburn as Derek Flint - ?(Not an Accountant)
C. Starship Troopers - Carmen Ibanez, played by Denise Richards, is a trainee then a spaceship pilot
D. The Running Man - ? played by Richard Dawson, is Game Show Host. (Gee, Richard Dawson as a game show host? That was a stretch!)
E. Coyote Ugly - Violet Sanford, played by Piper Perabo, is a Coyote (bartender/dancer on top of bars/wanna be singer) at the Coyote Ugly Bar.
F. ? (let me just say, Y'all aren't even close, except that it is a racing movie)
G. Josie and the Pussycats - Josie, played by Rachael Leigh Cook, is the lead singer of a rock group.
H. The Abyss - Virgil 'Bud' Brickman, played by Ed Harris, is an underwater drilling rig capitan/Alian liason (Kim, I like the Alian liason answer! WD)
So, as you can see, Kim and Imnpman got most of them, but we are still missing some, for B the movie and the job, for D the name of the character, and...ahem...all of F. (The car provides a small clue, very small)
I love the quizes that take a while to answer! Whoo Hoo!
Opps, Josie's full name is Josie McCoy.
Is it "In like Flint"?
Still stuck on the racing thing, is it something to do with Turkey's??
B. In Like Flint (the second Flint movie - James Coburn as Derek Flint - ?(Not an Accountant)
Nope, not turkeys, think early eighties comedy.
Only thing I can think of for early eighties comedy involving driving is The cannonball Run.
Flint was called out of retirement as a spy, and was the only agent in the original film to be considered good enough. The president ordered Flint to be taken on.
Running Man host Damon Killian
And how about Ned Beatty as Clyde Torkle in Stroker Ace? Who is a Sports Promoter
A. X-Men - Ororo Monroe (Storm) played by Halle Berry, is a teacher at Xaviers school for gifted children.(Kim and Impman combined to answer right, I thought someone would answer superhero or something, WD Impman! And Kim too for getting her real name, Ororo)
B. In Like Flint - James Coburn as Derek Flint - Retired Spy
C. Starship Troopers - Carmen Ibanez, played by Denise Richards, is a trainee then a spaceship pilot
D. The Running Man - Damon Killian played by Richard Dawson, is Game Show Host. (Gee, Richard Dawson as a game show host? That was a stretch!)
E. Coyote Ugly - Violet Sanford, played by Piper Perabo, is a Coyote (bartender/dancer on top of bars/wanna be singer) at the Coyote Ugly Bar.
F. Stroker Ace - Ned Beatty as Clyde Torkle, but he wasn't a sports promoter, he was the car owner and Fried Chicken Magnate, he made Stroker Ace dress up like a chicken.
G. Josie and the Pussycats - Josie, played by Rachael Leigh Cook, is the lead singer of a rock group.
H. The Abyss - Virgil 'Bud' Brickman, played by Ed Harris, is an underwater drilling rig capitan/Alian liason (Kim, I like the Alian liason answer! WD)
Whoo Hoo! Thanks guys, this was fun.
