An interactive quiz feature is coming soon to STVC!
In the meantime, here are the answers to the Summer 2020 Newsletter Mini-Quiz – the correct monikers for each of these 3 faces whose given names are usually billed by initials only.
(left) H.M. Wynant: This non-stop veteran is my absolute favorite kind of actor – solidly crafted with a jam-packed career that spans decades. His “Howling Man” episode is always included in Syfy’s Twilight Zone marathons. You can catch his off-beat good looks in multiple Perry Mason segments on FeTv, or his seasoned personae in works like Footprints (2009), a paean to Hollywood Boulevard (the street, not the movie).
(middle) R.G. Armstrong: Here is a career to match Wynant’s – decade-spanning, though he made his final exit from this mortal coil in 2012. His television presence is so familiar that, for many, it’s like looking at some old uncle you keep forgetting about until he comes to visit. What he’s probably best remembered for would be hard to say; IMDb seems to think it’s his role as a general in Predator (1987).
(right) C.C.H. Pounder: This crafted, sought-after ace pro is surely familiar from TV series such as NCIS: New Orleans, Sons of Anarchy, and Law & Order: SVU. But Carol Christine Hilaria Pounder is not as easily recognizable as Mo’at, Neytiri’s mother and spiritual leader of the Omaticaya clan in Avatar. (Look out – I see there is an Avatar2 set to be released next year, and more to follow through 2027! Meet you at the Tree of Souls?)
