Very much semi-wine-related, itÂ’s more of a movie quiz.
I watched a film recently. One of the lead characters (LC1) in the movie goes by a nickname. But, he confesses to another lead character (LC2) that his real name is Robert __ Parker (I’m leaving out the middle initial to keep the Googlers away!). So, who is this character – the nickname, the movie, the actor?
IÂ’ll add clues as I can think of themÂ…! (The references to LC1 & LC2 are for the purpose of clues)
The movie is very loosely based on a real story, so the Robert Parker person did indeed exist.
The movie was nominated for Best Film & Best Director Oscars, but won neitherÂ…
The man playing LC1 has since been nominated for Oscars for both best actor & director
LC1 and LC2 are both alive, but the movieÂ’s director died within the last 3 years

cheers, Graeme
That just might be Tom Berenger as Robert Leroy Parker AKA Butch Cassidy?
Yes, Paul Newman. I had no idea the answer was given away in "The Early Days" - a film I've not seen. There you go. I'd envisaged having to give away heaps of clues for what seemed to me a rather obscure bit of information!
