The Who Am I Game?

[aquarius moon]

I'm setting myself a new challenge to make the game more interesting.

Will be posting one clue a day, and will try to make my turn last as long as possible.

Todays first clue, already posted.

Next one tomorrow. The clues will get easier as the days go by.

Aiming (would like) to last a week!

[aquarius moon]

2nd clue:

He was on a mission to self-destruct, and ended up killing himself

[El Pibe]

I was about to say Dominic Diamond, but I think he's still with us.

[Otta]

Sid Vicious?

Real bloke, but was a character in Sid & Nancy.

[aquarius moon]

Two no's I'm afraid

[aquarius moon]

3rd clue:

My character is from the most recent version of this film

[aquarius moon]

4th clue:

He has a good voice

[Otta]

Once someone gets this right, can they not do this one clue a day thing? It's kind of killing this thread to be honest.

[El Pibe]

Ian Curtis - Control

I just wanted to see if I could make it last a week, as a kind of experiment!

But, If you are desperate for more clues, I'll forget about it & post another shortly.

And no, not Ian Curtis

[Otta]

No, continue, but after this one can we go back to normal.

[aquarius moon]

I'm getting a bit fed up with waiting 24 hours too TBH, so quite happy to post another clue:

5th clue:

The person who played him had another career, apart from acting.

So did the leading lady.

[Otta]

Ned Kelly?

[aquarius moon]

No!

[El Pibe]

stuck on the Sam Riley theme, it wouldn't bbe Pinkie from the Brighton Rock remake would it?

[aquarius moon]

No EP.

Pinkie from Brighton Rock was one of my characters about 20 pages back.

I wouldn't do the same one twice!

[aquarius moon]

6th (penultimate) clue:

He was in for a bumpy ride, but may have set a track record.

[DulwichFox]

From first clue. He went down hill fast. I thought of Edie the Eagle.. but he is not dead..

bumpy ride, but may have set a track record. Tobogganing.. ???

Don't know

Foxy

[El Pibe]

I'm at a complete loss.

[aquarius moon]

I'll post the final clue in a few hours.

[Otta]

Yeah I was thinking cool runnings but no one died.

Then I was thinking non actors acting which led to Mick Jagger in Ned Kelly.

I was even looking at the filmography of Dwaine "The Rock" Johnson!

No idea.

[El Pibe]

"I was even looking at the filmography of Dwaine "The Rock" Johnson"

snap!

[aquarius moon]

I just wanted to see if I could post 7 clues, without losing my turn & it looks like I achieved it!

It's actually really hard to post relevant clues, without giving too much away at once.

So, the final, giveaway clue:

Watch Closely Now

and you will reveal the character!

[El Pibe]

can't say as I've seen this film I'm afraid

but John Norman Howard from A Star is Born with Kris Kristofferson and Barbara Streisand.

I can't say as I was a milion miles away with some of my thinking, but I was going down the route of real life music stars played by singers.

He was much better in Blade ;)

Bah, tough one.

[aquarius moon]

1) This characters rock solid career went downhill fast!

He started off as a famous, successful rock singer & threw it all away

2) He was on a mission to self-destruct, and ended up killing himself

At the end of the film, he crashed his car ( I cried!!)

3) My character is from the most recent version of this film

There were two other versions before the 1976 one

4) He has a good voice

He was the lead singer in a rock band

5) The person who played him had another career, apart from acting. So did the leading lady

Kris Kristofferson was a singer before he became an actor, so was Barbra Streisand

6) He was in for a bumpy ride, but may have set a track record

His band was called 'The John Norman Howard Speedway' The 'track' record also referred to music!

7) Watch Closely Now and you will reveal the character!

'Watch Closely Now' was the bands theme song & one of the films most famous tracks.

I think I could've kept that one running for another week!

Well done EP. You got there in the end!
