Quiz Description

Identify the Shakespeare character from the actor and year of release of two separate movie portrayals of that character. Note that while no two characters will appear in multiple answers, different questions can ask about different characters from various film adaptations of the same play. Also note that some of the film adaptations in these questions are indirect ones, with situations and character names changed to different times or places from the original play. This can also include film stories of backstage productions, where the film role is of an actor playing a specific Shakespeare character. Again, the answer to each question is a Shakespeare CHARACTER name as it appeared in his original plays, even if one or both actors in the question played characters with a different name in their adaptations.
