"I couldn't name a single film!"

Sean admits he couldn't name a film today's quiz answer starred in. But he'd know him if he offered a pint.

Today’s Barney Sloan quiz question: I was a very famous actor, a film star born in 1918. I was in the top ten box office draws six times in 1950s, and once was the top draw in America. Nominated twice for an Oscar and won once. My Oscar acceptance speech of four words is the shortest in history, and I was a Best Man for a president of the United States.
Frank the Spurs Fan has the right answer.
“You know something,” Sean says, “I don’t think I could name a single film this actor was in. But I think I would know him if he walked through the door with a pint for me.”

With music from Little Richard, George Strait, Paul Anka and others.
