Discuss Mission: Impossible

I thought it might be interesting to have a trivia thread to test our knowledge of our favorite tv show. Shall we begin?

1) Name the two episodes where Cinnamon poses as a physicist.

Two questions:

1) Name the city in California where most of location shooting took place.

2) Name the female cast member who got a Best Supporting Actress Oscar and the movie she got it for.

@klondike6 ::😀: The quiz is back! Name the female cast member who got an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress after she left the show and the movie she got it for.

Lesley Anne Warren; "Victor Victoria" (1982)

@Jetfire59 grin Correct! I thought didn't see that movie. Did you?

Next question: Which actor made the most appearances on Mission Impossible?

Yes, I saw "Victor Victoria" once or twice.

If you count the 1988 series as well, it's Peter Graves. If NOT counting the 1988 series, it's Gregg Morris.

Here's one about our beloved Peter Lupus. What personal/ professional accomplishment did he acquire at age 75?

@lima-2, @Jetfire59 ,@ jahyn1111, @klondike6 sunglasses The quiz is back!

Name the season six episode Elizabeth Ashley appeared in.

Name the 1966 movie that Helen Funai and Benson Fong (who where both in the season five episode Butterfly) appeared in.

@lima-2 :🎆🎇✨✨🎈: Of it does! Now on to the next one: Name the actor who plays the ailing Prime Minister in the first season episode The Train and was one of evil, but well meaning scientists in the movie we just talked about.

BTW, I just corrected my horrible writing on this post. My apologies.

Next questions (with much better spelling):

1). Name the actor who probably made the most appearances as a bad guy or a henchman of a bad guy. Bonus question: Name the James Bond movie this actor appeared in (playing a henchman of the film's villian, of course).

2). This English actress played an enemy agent in the season four episode Lover's Knot, AND a similar kind of character in the British SciFi cult TV series UFO episode The Responsibility Seat. Name her.

  1. Anthony Zerbe

  2. Jane Merrow

Here's one: Why did Steven Hill leave the series after season 1?

@Jetfire59 : Although you're right that Anthony Zerbe was in about 5 episodes as a bad guy and appeared in License To Kill (AND Star Trek Insurrection), I was referring to Sid Haig, who was in about 9 episodes and appeared in Diamonds Are Forever.

2). Correct!

And in answer to your question, when Steven Hill was hired to play Dan Briggs, he informed the producers that he was a practicing Orthodox Jew and would not work on the Sabbath. Apparently the producers didn't believe that he was serious about this.

What short lived series did Martin Landau and Barbra Bain star together in post MI?

Bonus: What does that series have in common with Star Trek? Hint: It's a bad thing.

It was a British SciFi TV series called Space: 1999, and the thing it has in common with Star Trek is that BV Space: 1999's second season was produced by Freddie Freiburger, Star Trek's third season was produced by Freddie Freiburger.

Very good! I'm impressed!

Thank you!

Your turn to post a question. Although it's been so long since I saw MI, I probably won't know the answer.
