I cheated... good question. Is it Matt Damon? Did he win an oscar? He did in good will hunting right?
Lord of the Rings - what was Gollum's name before he became Gollum and what race is he?
yes, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for Good Will Hunting.
Gollum was Smeagol..... I dunno what he is...
Do tell!
I'll go with another question related to the above...
Why did Matt and Ben start writing Good Will Hunting?

Gollum/Smeagol was a hobbit. Don't know the answer to Tina's question.

Ironically, what short lived sitcom did George Clooney star in shortly before getting his big break on ER?
