Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who released his first album in 1973, entitled "You Know the Name But Not the Face" and has gone on to release a further ten studio albums as well as 2017's greatest hits package, "All The Best" which includes a duet with his elder brother?

Answer: Chris Jagger

Chris is, of course, younger brother to Rolling Stones front man Sir Mick but has always been in his brother's shadow, despite releasing some great blues songs, as well as experimenting with country and zydeco. He may not have the fame that his brother has, but like Sir Mick, he attracts beauty, having married former model and actress Kari-Ann Moller in 1981.

2. Who appeared as Sheriff Hendricks in horror movie "The Appearing" (2014), as Jesse James in a 1994 episode of "The New Adventures of Superman" and bizarrely as his older brother in the 2017 "Family Guy" episode, "Don't Be a Dickens at Christmas"?

Answer: Don Swayze

In the "Family Guy" episode, Peter is left home alone while Lois visits her parents at Christmas. After falling asleep while watching a movie, he wakes to find Patrick Swayze (voiced by Don) as his ghostly guide to help him find his Christmas spirit in a modern retelling of Charles Dickens classic "A Christmas Carol".

3. He has Golden Globes for his acting in "King Of The Gypsies" (1978) and "Star 80" (1983) as well as an Oscar nomination for "Runaway Train" (1985), while his younger sister has an Oscar ("Erin Brockovich" (2000)) and Golden Globes for "Steel Magnolias" (1989), "Pretty Woman" (1990) and "Erin Brockovich (2000)). What is his first name?

Answer: Eric

Eric Roberts, brother to the stunning Julia, has also appeared as a Mafia boss in "The Dark Knight" (2008) and a rogue ex CIA officer in "The Expendables" (2010) as well as appearing on TV in shows such as "Suits", "Heroes" and "Grey's Anatomy". He has also appeared as a cop in music videos by Ja Rule, Rihanna and Akon featuring Eminem.

4. In the 1984 Hong Kong spy comedy "Mad Mission 3", Jean Mersant played the role of James Bond, but which Scottish actor played the part of Mr. Bond?

Answer: Neil Connery

"Mad Mission 3" was titled "Aces Go Places 3" in Hong Kong and told the tale of a master thief being duped by the Queen of England and James Bond to steal one of the Crown Jewels from a Hong Kong Police Headquarters vault. If this sounds bizarre, Connery, brother to Sir Sean, also starred in "The Body Stealers" (1969), in which he investigated why paratroopers were disappearing in mid-air!

5. Frankie only released two albums between 1979 and 1990, but he did record the song "It Takes Two" in 1989, with Kim Weston, 23 years after his brother had. Who was his better known sibling?

Answer: Marvin Gaye

Frankie Gaye released his debut album in 1979 and then waited until 1990 to release the follow up. Following the commercial non-success of those two albums, he released "The Very Best of Frankie Gaye" in 1996. His experiences during the Vietnam War, in which he served as a radio DJ, led Marvin to write the song "What's Happening, Brother".

6. His song "Far From Over" was a USA top ten hit as well as being nominated for a Golden Globe. He is also an actor, playing the lead in "Order Of The Eagle" (1989) and the part of Black Knight in the "Roller Blade Seven" series of movies. Who is he?

Answer: Frank Stallone

The "Roller Blade Seven" movies tell the tale of a sword-wielding roller skater and his battles against evil and is of course set in the future! Frank has also appeared in "Rocky" (1976), "Rocky II" (1979), "Rocky III" (1982) and "Rocky Balboa" (2006). I suspect he may be closely related to Sylvester Stallone.

7. This is an impressive filmography. Who has appeared in "Cocoon" (1985), "Parenthood" (1989), "Backdraft" (1991), "Apollo 13" (1995), "The Missing" (2003) "Frost/Nixon" (2008) "The Dilemma" (2011) as well as many other movies?

Answer: Clint Howard

Clint is the younger brother of former "Happy Days" star turned director Ron Howard, who coincidentally, directed all of the movies in the question. To be fair to Clint though, he doesn't just appear in movies that his brother has directed. He has also been in titles such as "Far And Away" (1992), "EDtv" (1999) and "Curious George" (2006), all of which his brother produced, as well as many more.

In 2018, he can be seen in "Solo: A Star Wars Story", a film starring Woody Harrelson and Warwick Davis, directed by Ron Howard.

8. Joey has appeared in "Beverley Hills Cop III" (1994), "3 Ninjas Kick Back" (1994) as well as on stage in "Guys And Dolls" and "West Side Story". His brother isn't "The General's Daughter" but he does know how to "Be Cool". What is the last name of these siblings?

Answer: Travolta

John is of course the star of, among many others, "The General's Daughter" (1999) and "Be Cool" (2000). Joey also starred in the 1993 movie "Beach Babes From Beyond" which also featured Joe Estevez (Martin Sheen's brother), Don Swayze (Patrick's brother) and Jackie Stallone (Sylvester's mother).

9. Between 2009 and 2012, Michael Buscemi (brother of Steve Buscemi), played God in eight episodes of which comedy/drama starring Edie Falco?

Answer: Nurse Jackie

The first episode of "Nurse Jackie" which saw Michael cast as God was directed by Steve. He has also appeared in the movies "Trees Lounge" (1996), "Animal Factory" (2000), "Lonesome Jim" (2005) and "Interview" (2007), all of which were directed by Steve.

10. In 1977, David founded a rock band with his brother Mark. After two hugely successful albums, David left in 1980, to concentrate on his solo career. Mark and the rest of the band have had hits worldwide, including "Money For Nothing". David has not. What is the brothers last name?

Answer: Knopfler

The band is of course Dire Straits who are known the world over, whereas David has, up to 2016 released 14 albums, none of which have had commercial success, but that didn't stop him writing a book in 1996 entitled "Bluffers Guide to the Rock Music Business", about how to successfully negotiate the pitfalls associated with the business.
