An introduction to the Pro Evolution Actor Battle and its first ever (recorded) tournament player draw.
James and I both chose our 16 favourite actors and we picked them Draft Style with James taking pick 1, me number 2 and so on down to 32. There were a few we both wanted and that certainly led to some conflict! Hello to you, Jessica Chastain. Hear all the action in this episode.
Is it Top Trumps with actors? No! Legally no. But yes. As proven (but not legally your honour) with this Pro Evo Actor card:
These 10 categories were the initial ones we used in the first tournament but for variety and increased entertainment that nmber soon swelled to include:
Academy award nominations – class act
Acting credits on IMBD – Hardworker - the 'Nicolas Cage'
Wins a fight – Golden Gloves
Niceness – the ‘Hanks’
Net worth - the 'Clooney'
Marriages
Golden globe nominations
Quiz team
Eating competition
Funniest – chat show gold
Swordsman
The chameleon - Actor Transformation
Highest career Metascore – One Hit Wonder - the Pacino (100)
Average career Metascore – Consistent Charlie
Accent variety - the ‘George Mackay’
Height
Legal issues Wikipedia – Hot water
Kids ahoy – most kids
Best James Bond
Bond Bond Villain
This group of categories is ever changing so if we think of another one we will discuss it on the podcast and debate their merits before possibly adding it to the list. Categories will also disappear if we are bored with them. We had a 'Nice Pad' category that involved us looking up google images of the star's homes but we soon had enough of that.
