Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This "Frisco" from General Hospital has actually recorded 5 albums and even hit #2 on the Billboard charts in 1985 with "All I Need"

Answer: Jack Wagner

Wagner is also well-known for his role as Dr. Peter Burns on the nighttime soap "Melrose Place" airing in the 1990s. Rick Springfield, who played Dr. Noah Drake, was Wagner's General Hospital co-star in the early 1980's and has recently reprised that role as well. Springfield is certainly the more well-known singer of the two having hit #1 with the infectious "Jessie's Girl" in 1981.

Answer: Bruce Willis

Similar to the effect Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" had in revitalizing John Travolta's career, "Pulp Fiction" also revitalized Bruce Willis' acting career. After flops such as "Hudson Hawk" and "The Bonfire of the Vanities," Tarantino gave Willis the supporting role of aging prizefighter Butch Coolidge, which further launched Willis to roles in "Twelve Monkeys," "The Fifth Element," and later, "Armageddon."

Answer: Party All the Time

The first time I heard this song it sounded like "my girl wants to potty all the time." The song has actually been parodied by Weird Al Yankovic and remixed by the house music DJ's Deep Dish in 2006.

4. This actor's 1987 hit "She's Like the Wind" hit #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was included on the soundtrack to a very popular 1987 movie he also starred in.

Answer: Patrick Swayze

The "Dirty Dancing" soundtrack actually spent 18 total weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart and went platinum eleven times over in the U.S. alone.

5. "Heartbeat" which reached #5 on the Billboard charts in 1985, was the only hit single for this cool actor forever linked with pastel t-shirts and light-colored armani suits.

Answer: Don Johnson

Maybe Don got his singing inspiration from the numerous singers who guest-starred on Miami Vice. These artists included Phil Collins, Glenn Frey, James Brown, Willie Nelson, Gene Simmons, Ted Nugent, Sheena Easton, Little Richard, and Frank Zappa to name a few.

6. This former child actor actually recorded an album entitled "Former Child Actor," his 3rd album in 2002 and promoted the album in a Battle of The Bands competition on the Howard Stern Show.

Answer: Corey Feldman

Corey is mostly known for his association with fellow actor Corey Haim and the various movies they did together, including "The Lost Boys" and "Dream a Little Dream." However, Corey is also known for his somewhat unusual link to Michael Jackson. At one time, Corey could be seen dressing like Michael and imitating his dance moves.

However, their friendship did not last and Corey actually testified at Michael's molestation trial.

Answer: David Hasselhoff

Due to the subject of the song ("Freedom") and the timing of the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the song was very popular in Berlin at the time and I'm sure we all can remember the television reports showing Hasselhoff atop the Berlin Wall singing his anthem in a leather jacket with flashing lights.

Answer: Jennifer Love Hewitt

Hewitt was once quoted as saying "they love perky music," in response as to why her music was so popular in Japan. Hewitt's biggest success on the US charts was her "BareNaked" album recorded with singer/songwriter Meredith Brooks. The album peaked at #37 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Answer: Joey Lawrence

Joey, of course, got his big break on the TV sitcom "Gimme a Break!" with stage actress Nell Carter. Joey later was known for his catch-phrase "Whoa!" while starring on TV's "Blossom". Most recently, he finished 3rd on the 2006 version of "Dancing with the Stars."

Answer: Barry Williams

Barry Williams, aka Greg Brady, actually took the stage name "Johnny Bravo" during an episode of "The Brady Bunch" where Greg was planning a solo singing career. As of 2008, Barry currently hosts his own show on Sirius Satellite Radio simply called "The Barry Williams Show."
