1. Carl Lee Hailey accidentally shot me and this resulted in my leg being amputated. Who played me?
From Quiz Who Played Me in "A Time to Kill"?
Answer:
Chris Cooper
Cooper, born on July 9th, 1951 in Kansas City, Missouri, was cast as Dwayne Looney. Dwayne was the Deputy Sheriff in the county where the film took place and was a victim in a major scene in the movie. Carl Lee Hailey, in a moment of rage, took a gun and shot dead the two men accused of raping his daughter, Tonya. During the shootout, he accidentally shot Deputy Sheriff Looney and this caused his leg to be amputated. In a later scene, Deputy Looney testified at Carl Lee's trial for murdering the two men and stated how he held no ill will towards Carl Lee for what happened. He also stated how he had a daughter and likely would have done the same thing had he been in Carl Lee's shoes. Cooper starred in the movies "The Bourne Identity", "American Beauty" and "October Sky". In 2003, he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the movie "Adaptation". Other Oscar nominees for Best Supporting Actor that year were Christopher Walken for "Catch Me If You Can", John C. Reilly for "Chicago", Ed Harris for "The Hours" and Paul Newman for "Road to Perdition".
