Title: Young/Old Game
Post by: el_chode on Feb 17, 2012, 01:42 PM
Simple: post a picture of someone famous from when they were younger. First to guess correctly gets to go next. If so inclined, provide a non-giveaway hint.

You're getting close. He asks significantly more questions than Thomas, and entirely different kinds of questions than Marshall

These clues suck!

Kind of looks like a wrestler so I'm going to throw Koko B Ware out there as my incorrect guess.

Final hint: He's still got the mustache, but not the muscles.

Post by: Crispy on Feb 17, 2012, 03:07 PM
DOH. Did not realize Exene got around that much.

Post by: Crispy on Feb 17, 2012, 03:49 PM
Okay, I'm back from cheating and discovered it's Viggo Mortensen. I liked that New Zealand hint. NOW I'll have my go again:

Jon, I see a resemblance, but it's not Hines.

I don't actually remember the earlier hints, just recognize him.  He had a distinctive look, I suppose.
