It doesn’t negatively impact the ability to complete the quiz, but Jamie Foxx’s surname is misspelled. (Although it appears the Name box isn’t checked for him.)

And it won't just take his last name. Have to enter the full name for some reason.

So let me complain--and I know I'm not the first--that when you accept "Fox" instead of "Foxx" that means that the next answer I type in starts with that "x" that is part of the previous answer, making the next answer incorrect until deleted.

Same with "O'Tool"--and somehow I don't think he would have liked being called that. Too bad we can't ask him.

Two possible conclusions from the observation that three of the most iconic biographical movie roles - Spartacus, Lawrence of Arabia and Patton are near the bottom of the list and below 50% guessed: (1) a lot of quiz takers are young and haven't seen or heard of these classic movies, or (2) since they are the the earliest and therefore last on the list, a lot of quiz takers don't make it that far before time runs out. Although the second is difficult to believe, given that the four minutes allotted for the quiz should be more than ample for folks to get through the entire list.

Spartacus is one of the few movies I have seen on this list, but I could not remember his name
