trivia: This goo was part of Do-Over Week, having been inspired by a previous goo that was frequently guessed wrong.

Incorrect guesses for Robert Patrick included Eleanor Donahue, Sharon Stone, Clark Gable, Shirley MacLaine, Brendan Fraser, two for Tobey Maguire, three for Linda Hamilton, and nine for Reese Witherspoon.
