He was great in Heat of the Night. He played a complex character who was flawed but basically a good man.

I knew he was almost my parents' age, so only option 4 could be correct.

Howard Groopman

This is about as trivial as a question can get. I knew the show began in 1971 and that he was middle-aged then, so 1924 had to be right.

Edie Koller

I loved watching All in the Family in the 1970's.

Jerry Kimball, in this area (American mid-west) Carroll is a common surname or a masculine name.

seane, Not true if you know that in the early 70s he was playing Archie Bunker who was about 50 years of age.

Almost impossible question to answer without googling and cheating. 25% chance or 50/50

Here’s another great question. When is Pat Richardson of Atlanta Georgia - Drivers License renewal date?

Jerry Kimball

Since he died in 2001 the correct question would have been "What was Carroll O'Connor's birth date?" And note that his first name has two l's.
