I forgive you, Dave. 8-) Now try these:

1990’s
1. SL (1993 – Bio/Drama/History – LN)
2. TEP (1996 – Drama/Romance/War - RF)
3. TAL (1991 – Adventure/Crime/Drama – SS)
4. EWS (1999 – Drama/Mystery/Thriller – TC)
5. SAS (1995 – Drama/Romance – ET)

The last two actors are definitely NOT ‘Top Cat’ and ‘ET’ :lol:

2. NOTLD (1968) - DJ
3. WG (1968) - IO
4. TB (1963) - TH
5. FCW (1967) – PC
