Guess the Star ?

First topic message reminder :

Simple game really , a lot of ' Stars ' are known by different names to the ones they were born with ie the singer Albert George Dorsey is better known as Englebert Humperdink or the actor Carlos Irwin Estevez is better known as Charlie Sheen .

So simply post a STARS real name and then someone with their more commonly known name , it can be a singer actor sportsman any star


I will start off with

Issur Danielovitch Demsky

You probably wouldn't know they were brothers, as they chose different surnames - supposedly choosing the surnames from 2 members of the New York Dolls, then changing the spelling a bit.

Had to have a look , wouldn't of got that

Shall I give the answer?

Yes , i dont think anyone is going to get it

Are you going through the phone book? Let me know if you'd like another hint.

Was he in any Carry On films? Sid James?

Yes he was in Carry On films.

He always seemed to play the hapless romantic... out of his depth and often in a very awkward and compromised situation. Does that narrow it down?

I can see his face - tall, bulky bloke, sort of a hang-dog expression, thinning hair?

That sounds like him... not so much bulky though.
He often got his head sandwiched between Joan Sims' and Angela Douglas' bosoms... things like that.

He also narrated the Harry Potter audiobook series...

Jim _ _ _ _

Dale?

Correct. Jim Dale.

Phew. The picture in my head was Bernard Bresslaw

Those actors wore lots of wigs. I see what you mean about the hang dog expression though.

I did not know that , and ive read his autobiography !!

Who was that other actor who threw a cup or something at his nurse on his deathbed when she asked for a final autograph... the queer little guy with glasses?

Was that Charles Hawtrey?

Yes

So fire away Mr Marx...

Good one Kenny... I love 'Fools & Horses'.

No, but first name is very close/similar to that.
