Who is it?

That is a tough one Jackson. Maybe you would allow 10 questions, with just a yes / no answer? If so, I would kick off with - Is he alive?
Mike, good idea, keeps the tempo up. Answer to your question is no.
Answer to Anssi is also no.
-
okay...
was he an actor?
-
Pete, Yes.
-
That's only two questions as Anssi's doesn't count because it was after the fact. So he was an actor, now dead. Mmmm, only 8 questions legt so had better ask clever questions.
Questions 3! -
OK, time for a slightly cryptic clue: His name and nationality would confuse a Cold War observer.
-
Dear Jackson,
To be Frank(enstein) with you, I think it is Boris Karloff. One cannot forget the eyes!
Regards,
Bob -
I'd say it was Groucho Marx...with a real moustache.
-
Aye! Spot on!
-
OK, Take a shot at this one. This guy's no movie star...but he's been portrayed by one, as the principal character.
You've already had a clue.
-
Looks like an Irish politician.
-
Sorry Pete...wrong on both counts.
Second (cryptic) clue: Beatles lyrics; Naaah...Naaah...Naaah...na na na naaah.
-
Vasily Zaytsev?
-
Obviously the clues were too easy. Well done Jackson.
-
From the "shot" clue I thought it might be Simo Häyhä, but "Jude" got me on the right track.
-
Oh, I should also say that yes, it was Groucho Marx- a slightly more familiar photo of the elderly comedy genius below.
-
Yeah Alan, it was a cryptic clue for me. I had to read up to figure out the Jude (Law) connection. Must check out the movie now
Anyone else care to upload a picture?
-
Clue: he was young here.
Should be easy as he has very distinctive looks that stayed constant with age.
-
Yup, that was too easy.
-
Omar Sharif.
I was completely thrown at first as his uncanny resemblance to Joaquin Phoenix playing Johnny Cash in "Walk the Line" had me googling away in completely the wrong direction.
-
OK, keeping a theme from Pete's pic here's another one.
Excuse the heavy cropping of the image- uncropped it would be waaaaay too easy.
