Hey Dan…..thanks for these trivia lists on Cary Elwes. I have been a fan of his since seeing him in The Princess Bride. What a role to introduce yourself to American audiences. Not surprised he has a spot on the Oracle list….as he has been very very busy for other 30 years. Good trivia about his connection to the Pope. Looking at the first list…lots of people tied with being the most frequent Oracle co-star with 3 movies with him. For some reason I connect him to Charlie Sheen the most….I guess Hot Shots stuck with me…..so I will give the tie breaker to Sheen for most frequent Oracle co-star. 27 Oscar winning co-stars is pretty good….but probably a slight bit below average. Good stuff as always.
Great UMR Page
Thank you Mike.
