Quiz : Who is this guy?

Watching an old movie, I’ve spotted a familiar face. If it wasn’t for the smile and a suit, I’d probably never realized where I saw that face. Gladly, I did and IMdb confirmed.

Here are my questions for you:

Who is that?
What’s his recent popular work?
What is the name of the movie?
Have you seen this movie? And if you did, what do you think about it?

Write your answers in the comments. I’ll update this post later with my own.

Update:

OK, a collective mind figured it out. The answers are:

Robert Sean Leonard.
He is well known for the role of Dr. James Wilson in TV series “House M.D.”.
The movie is “Dead Poets Society” from 1989.
I’ve seen the movie yesterday. I really liked it. Very inspirational. Review pending.

Mark Malkoff : Apple Store Challenge

Here is a funny short video where Mark Malkoff tests how far Apple Store will let you go.

Things that he tried and got away with are:

Pizza delivery.
Romantic date.
Darth Vader iPhone repair.
Bring in a pet goat.

That’s pretty cool. The biggest surprise for me though is not with Apple Store, but with that pizza delivery service. If it wasn’t the crew, then I am pretty impressed. I’ve never heard of pizza being delivered to a visitor of a shop. But then again, I’m sure many services exist in the States that don’t in Cyprus.

P.S.: I wish it was on YouTube. It would have made so much easier to embed. I tried the code that is on the site, but it doesn’t work for some reason with my blog. And I’m too lazy to look into it.

@stepanov I know what you mean. That's tough even on parents who are introduced to the feature gradually, with plenty of training. :) #
Today's power cut came slightly later and lasted only about one and a half hours. Interesting. #cyprus #limassol #
@ektagon much agreed. Power cuts hurt the productivity a great deal. #

@titanas take it easy, man. Or you'll end up on No-Fly list or FBI most wanted. :-) #
