TORQUEMADA: The Game.
All pay heed! Now enters his holiness, Torquemada, the Grand Inquisitor of the Spanish Inquisition.
Torquemada - do not implore him for compassion.
Torquemada - do not beg him for forgiveness.
Torquemada - do not ask him for mercy.
Let's face it - you can't Torquemada anything!
Torquemada - do not implore him for compassion.
Torquemada - do not beg him for forgiveness.
Torquemada - do not ask him for mercy.
Let's face it - you can't Torquemada anything!
Here's another game of mine. This one I created along with my brother Delano. It's called Torquemada and was inspired by the realization that...
Mel Brooks
and Marlon Brando
have both played the role of Inquisitor General Tomás de Torquemada, in History Of the World Part 1 and Christopher Columbus: The Discovery respectively
The game can be played by two or more people. It works like this. One player names two actors who have played the same part. The other player or players then have to name the part. Of course the first player must already know the answer. Don't just name two random actors.
In some cases, David Niven and Pierce Brosnan for example, the two actors may have more than one part in common. (Hint: one is a spy and the other is a betting man.)
Obviously many roles have been played by more than two actors. If you know more than two you might give out more names as hints if the other players are having trouble.
Here are a few more examples. If you know the answers, post them in the comments section.
Tim Curry & Charlton Heston (two roles. One role has also been played by Vincent Price)
Mel Brooks & Lord Lawrence Olivier
Jack Palance & George Hamilton
George Hamilton & Anthony Hopkins
Tom Baker & Michael Caine
Willem Dafoe & John Hurt & Will Ferrell
So there's the game, enjoy.

Point of Clarification: It has to be the same character, not necessarily the same part or role. Nitpickers might consider Rosencrantz in "Hamlet" and Rosencrantz in "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead." to be two different roles, but they are the same character, and so would count for this game.
Here's one of my favorites:
George Burns and Bill Cosby
Burns and Cosy have both played the Devil.
Peter Boyle and Benecio Del Toro
This is one of those trick ones that calls for a ruling from the judges. Boyle played Carl Lazlo, Esq. in Where the Buffalo Roam and Benecio Del Toro played Dr. Gonzo in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Technically, the characters have different names, but both are fictionalized versions of Oscar Z. Acosta, Hunter S. Thompson's "attorney."
I'd say it counts, but if you pulled this one out in a game your opponent might rightfully complain.
