I don't know if this has been done here before (I got the idea from an old issue of Games magazine). The idea is to come up with a two (or three) word description of a role, where the first letter of each word of the description matches the initials of the character OR the actor who played the role. For example:
Mafia Boss = M.B. = Marlon Brando
Here an easy one to start with:
Lightsaber Swashbuckler

I'm going to take a really wild guess here and go for Luke Skywalker.
OK, Let's try this one: Throat Crusher.

In some cases, it seems to have gone off track from this towards general descriptions of people. |

O.K., this is a bit of a stretch, but... agent provocateur.
Take me to be using this metaphorically, in the sense of someone causing others to act rashly in order to bring things out into the open. |

O.K., that was Am�lie Poulain: the use of French was supposed to be a clue.
So here's a nice easy one instead to get things going again: black-winged. |
