1. Pierce's film career began in 1980, when he was credited as 'first Irishman' in which Bob Hoskins gangster film?

From Quiz Pierce Brosnan On Screen

Answer: The Long Good Friday

'The Long Good Friday' was the first starring role for Bob Hoskins, with Helen Mirren as his co-star. Much of the film's plot involves dealings with the Irish Republican Army (IRA), so Pierce would have been able to use his native accent. All the options listed included Hoskins in the cast, but not Brosnan; nor were they all gang related, although 'Mona Lisa', from 1986, did touch on the seedy side of life.

Answer: The beaver

Grey Owl was probably one of the first environmentalists. He was an Native Indian conservationist from Canada who wrote books and gave lectures all over the world. At the time (1920's) he was very influental. The ironic part was that 'Grey Owl' the Indian was not an Indian at all, but a guy from London who had always wanted to be an Indian. As soon as he could he left home, travelled to Canada and spent years living with the Indians until he became an adopted part of the tribe. The sad part was that when the truth about 'Grey Owl' came out everyone got carried away by the sensationalism of his lie and forgot about his environmental message.

Answer: Renee Russo

While both McQueen and Brosnan played a character named Thomas Crown, the insurance investigator in the original film was named Vicki Anderson, with Renee Russo portraying Catherine Banning. The crime committed in each film was different too, with the first one being a bank robbery and the second an art theft, but the motivation was identical, with Crown enjoying the thrill of outwitting police and other investigators. Faye Dunaway was in the 1968 film. Question by Rockette: rossian

Answer: Volcanic eruption

This 1997 film also starred Linda Hamilton. Brosnan played a volcanologist, Harry Dalton, who is sent to investigate what has long believed to be a dormant volcano, called Dante's Peak. Although Dalton warns his superiors that the volcano is likely to erupt, his concerns are dismissed, leading to disaster when the townspeople are caught in the lava flows correctly predicted. Critics panned the film, but it was moderately successful with the public. Question by Rockette: rossian

Answer: Ian Dunross

With a liberal dosing of talculm powder in his hair and his hand firmly planted in his pocket, Pierce played the lead character of Ian Dunross in James Clavell's "Noble House". Ian Dunross was the taipan (chief executive) of the biggest and most powerful company in Hong Kong (which is traditionally called the 'Noble House'). During the course of the mini-series he had to cope with natural disasters, fires, completely implausable occurences, overly dramatic music swelling at the slightest opportunity, truly bad acting from the supporting cast, unnecessary close-ups and the fickle ups and downs of the stockmarket - and the mini-series time frame only spans one week! A truly stunning mini-series and the epitomy of the eighties mini-series genre.

Answer: King Arthur

'Quest for Camelot' was an animated musical about the Arthurian legends, but was based on the novel The King's Damosel by Vera Chapman. It follows the story of how the daughter of one of King Arthur's knights (Sir Lionel, voiced by Gabriel Byrne) and a blind hermit named Garrett (Cary Elwes) manage to end up with their own seats at the Round Table. King Arthur himself was voiced by Pierce Brosnan (although Arthur's singing was done by another actor), while the magician Merlin was voiced by Sir John Gielgud. Question by Rockette: Fifiona81

Answer: Deathtrain

While "Deathdunebuggy" is intriging and I would personally love to see a movie with this name, it is not the right answer and we are stuck with the bad action thriller called "Deathtrain". "Deathtrain" involves Pierce Brosnan trying to get the better of some wacked out terrorists and their nuclear bomb by getting on their 'train of death'.

Answer: Mimi Rogers

Mimi Rogers played Claire Morgan.

From Quiz Pierce Brosnan On Screen

Answer: The Matador

'The Matador' starred Pierce Brosnan as hitman Julian Noble and Greg Kinnear as a businessman named Danny Wright. The pair meet in a bar in Mexico and strike up an unlikely friendship, albeit one that suffers when Julian attempts to enlist Danny's help with some of his 'jobs'. In the end Danny helps Julian with the assassination of his boss - which frees Julian up to enjoy a peaceful retirement. Although Brosnan was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a musical or comedy, he lost out to Joaquin Phoenix's portrayal of Johnny Cash in 'Walk the Line'.

From Quiz What Does James Bond Do In His Spare Time?

Answer: Cassandra Harris & Cassandra & Harris

Cassandra Harris was Pierce Brosnan's first wife. She was Australian - Yay!, loved the sea (being an Australian - Yay!) and had two children from a previous marriage. Together Pierce and Cassandra had another child called Sean. Sadly, Cassandra died of cancer in 1991. Pierce eventually remarried a journalist called Keely and has had another two boys called Dylan and Paris (poor kids... I forsee years of therapy to get over those names). No offence meant to any person called Dylan or Paris, Mr Brosnan or his lovely wife.

Answer: Mrs Doubtfire

The film is among the best known of many to star Robin Williams. In 'Mrs Doubtfire' he dresses up as an elderly housekeeper so he can spend time with his children. His estranged wife, played by Sally Field, has acquired a new boyfriend by the name of Stu Dunmeyer, which is where Pierce Brosnan comes in. All the options listed starred Robin Williams, but only 'Mrs Doubtfire' also included Brosnan in the cast. Question by Rockette: rossian

From Quiz Pierce Brosnan On Screen

Answer: SOS

The plot of 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' flitted backwards and forwards between the present day and the events of the 1970s that were hinted at in the original film. In the present day Pierce Brosnan's character had become one of the three possible grandfathers of Sophie Sheridan's new baby (in addition to being one of Sophie's three possible fathers in 'Mamma Mia'). In the past, the story covered how a young Sam (played by Jeremy Irvine) had met and lost Donna Sheridan, was portrayed. Brosnan's performance of 'SOS' - particularly the lines "When you're gone, how can I even try to go on" - were about Sam's attempts to come to terms with living without Donna in the future.
