OMG RCW has caught Ballinoitis, I hope there is a cure

Pat Myers Dale

This is going to be the worst streak of questions ever! There are thousands of actors!

Louella Wilson

Another Ballino question, I immediately thought! Total dismay as I noted it was not!

Mark Gavin

The category for this question is "Movies & TV". That effectively rules out all the other options!

Competing with Ballino

wok

The flood gates are open. Let's all jump on the band wagon.

Denise Currie, Send RCW and Ballino to L.A. and give them their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! It's not a cure, but at least it will get rid of them for a while!

I think Chuck Lorre is great & he has a excellent sense of humor. My favorite shows are The Big Bang Theory (I learned a lot from the show), Two & A 1/2 Men, Mike & Molly , Young Sheldon & Bob Hearts Abishola. Sometimes mine in tears bc I'm laughing so hard.

Eric Shackleton

All the famous people seem to be American actors!

Christine Perfect

Never heard of him 🤔

Ray Knutson

if one answer has more detail than the others, pick that one if you don't know. Good teachers know not to do this.

That is Charley Sheen's BUDDY!!!!!

Lynda Daley

I'll get caught out one day, if actor is in the answer, that's my pick.

Eric Shackleton, Often, I tell commenters who complain of US-centric questions to submit their own; however, your comment strikes me as an appropriate response to the recent spate of "Movies & TV" questions. In this case, I suspect the subject is most famous for his feud with Charlie Sheen.

Mr. Lorre's vanity cards at the end of every show were always so amusing to read. There are hundreds of them and most can be found on line. Sometimes they were better than the show they followed.
