What do these four actors have in common? #FourActorFactor
Replies
Either they all had pencil mustaches, or they all fought with a sabre (in The Mark of Zorro, Scaramouche, Captain Blood, and The Princess Bride)

It’s the sword-fighting I was looking for!

Stephen got this: After my “defenses” characters and “fences” movies, these actors were all the heroes of fencing movies. Or, at least, they all did some notable sword-dueling in those roles. (Zorro, Scaramouche, Dread Pirate Roberts, and Captain Blood) bsky.app/profile/spik...

In a slightly related question, what very specific thing do these four actors have in common? #FourActorFactor

Julie’s got this one: These actors, in these roles, all wield flaming swords. Pretty rad. bsky.app/profile/movi...

Leia’s got it: About five years before three of them were in the third X-Men movie, all four of these actors were in a computer heist movie called Swordfish. bsky.app/profile/leia...

Moving on in my chain of association, what do these six actors have in common? (I think this is a tricky one.) #FourActorFactor

I didn’t solve this one but I’ve got to say this one has been one of favorites!

I suspected that one would be up your alley.

Eric gets my tricky question, and even gives the details of the answer: These actors are all in movie scenes that provide the titles of other unrelated movies. bsky.app/profile/eric...

Louis has got this one: All these actors are playing a character named Michael. bsky.app/profile/loui...

OK, this is a tricky one. I got 3/4 but honestly wouldn't have gotten the last one without the questions that led into it and actually watching the scene from Horse Feathers, but let me suggest a possibility:

This is precisely what I was going for!

For the sake of honesty, I originally had this one and some qualms about the line not actually having been said, but then I remembered you'd focused on Claude Rains!

they all...sing...in a movie?

Does Vinnie Jones sing in anything? Anyway, I promise the uniting factor is much more specific than that.

They all make me question my heterosexuality?

I was going to mention that in the question. Crushes never count as an inherent shared factor :)

Were they all Robin Hood’s?

I don’t think Power or Granger was ever Robin Hood
