Your bio entry gives rise to a trivia question as a side dish: Besides The Men, in what other film did Brando play scenes in a wheelchair? was it in the odious Bedtime Story ? edit ... it was  Indeed, it was. Have you seen Bedtime Story? Not many have.

Isapop Saw it ages ago and remember hating it which resulted in my never bothering watching the remake .... despite the excellent cast. "Remade into "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" with Steve Martin & Michael Caine, almost word for word the same - except for the 'twist' ending."

It was Marlon's feeble attempt at comedy.

It was Marlon's feeble attempt at comedy. Well, I take the less fashionable view. I found it funny when I saw it many years ago. Today, you'd have to make allowance for pre-feminist time it was made. From the NY Times when it first opened: "Bedtime Story" is a very funny picture, and Mr. Brando is first-class farceur.

Easy one--
I made a living as a detective for awhile, then I hooked up with a rich dame and basically lived off her money for years. We had what looked like a happy marriage, but I have to admit I had kind of a drinking problem and got her hooked on the stuff, too, and we began to realize the whole relationship was based on our codependency. After we eased up on the binges, we went our separate ways--last I heard, she'd moved to the suburbs and married some guy and had about a dozen kids or something. I eventually married again, this time to a religious woman who was always trying to convert me. We had a couple of kids, but when World War II broke out, I decided to join the Navy to do my duty (and get away from the wife's nagging). I was really too old for the military, even though I lied about my age (I told them it was the drinking that prematurely aged me); I ended up assigned to some cargo ship in the Pacific.

That was sort of screaming Jack Lemmon at me. But the rest didn't fit. Then I realized....William Powell. (The Myrna Loy "dozen kids" route helped.)

No one else ? k then ....
Once upon a time, I played a Prince and everyone thought that it was pretty funny when it wasn't supposed to be. But I got them, I abandoned my pretty boy looks and got nominated for an Oscar !
My real life wife and I dabbled in some on screen magic. Not known for spy movies, I was undercover in at least three (extra credits for naming the movies) and lie-ingly claimed to be the star of the film (a blockbuster.)

Edit ,,. I see you edited ... my U-turn accomplished TWO to go now
