I initially tried "Phillip Seymour" for Hoffman. He won Best Actor in 2005.

There's a lot of ambiguity as to who's "more famous" on many of these quizzes, and I think this is yet another one of them.

It doesn't matter at all who is "more famous." Dustin is still a (and in this case THE) correct answer to the question.

I tried to find last names that were not shared by multiple A-List actors. Phillip Seymour Hoffman never crossed my mind when selecting Dustin Hoffman. I would say Dustin is the much more famous of the two, but your point is definitely valid.

Dustin was the first guy I thought of as well but these days I think Philip Seymour is at least as well known and well respected, if not more. Dustin's career peaked quite a while ago.

Thanks for adding Philip Seymour Hoffman. Kalbahamut made a good point.

Made some changes to clear out some ambiguity. As soon as QM approves.

Good quiz. Got 26 out of 28. Not too bad. Don't know who Peter Dinklage is though. Can't believe i missed viggo mortensen...he's a really talented actor and there's like four or five good movies i saw him in....oh well.

Quite a few of these are common first names (Ben, Paul, Christopher etc). So a tougher challenge would be to name the actors in order.

For Dreyfuss, my first thought was "julia louis" from Seinfeld and Veep fame.

haha, didn't read the caveats, just the title "Actors by last name" and the term actor is used for both male and female, perhaps the title should reflect the fact that it's only males.

I could only think Alfred for the Dreyfuss hint. History is great.

You should check out a wonderful book called "Baby Steps" by Dr. Leo Marvin. It was featured on Good Morning America.

One of the rules of movie-related quizzes here seems to be that there must be a Princess Bride connection :)
