7. "Battlefield Earth" (00), "A Civil Action" (98), and "The Dumbwaiter" (89) are three movies starring which actor?

Answer: John Travolta

 Travolta had a small part in the motion picture "Carrie" which starred Sissy Spacek. Travolta turned down roles in "Days of Heaven" (78), "American Gigolo" (80), and "An Officer and a Gentleman" (82), all roles in which Richard Gere starred.

Answer: Joe Pesci

 Joe Pesci appeared with DeNiro in "Goodfellas", "Raging Bull", and "Casino" (95). Pesci has also portrayed Leo Getz in the "Lethal Weapon" movies since 1989, which of course stars Mel Gibson who by now you know was the answer to question #1. Joe Pesci recorded an album in 1960 titled "Little Joe Sure Can Sing" but it was a flop. Robert DeNiro was not in the movie "8 Heads In a Duffle Bag", thus making him the wrong choice for this question. Sorry, wanted to stump you on this one!
