cryptic actors quiz

Something a bit different, which is fun for me to write and hopefully fun for you to do!

Below are cryptic clues to the names of actors and actresses e.g. Boris Karloff [not one of the list!]

The / means that the two sounds are connected. 

The - means they are all part of a single word.

Have a go folks! Just ONE per reader for now. Ta!

    3. Nonono - Bill beat me to the punch by 8 minutes, so he was first. I'm not well up on saints whatever they may carry, so I was fact-checking during that time. Fair's fair.
