Neo, if you don't mind, here's a quick one
This french actor played in more than 70 movies in leading or supporting roles. His choices in movies are very eclectic. He played in some american movies.
He was nominated 6 times at the César but never won any. _________________ my SF saga (novels in french!): https://tinyurl.com/PerleDeRubis |

Lambert Wilson - it took me a while looking
Ok, next question for the group:
This actress was born Mary, but you wouldn't know her by that name now. She was trained as a dancer, and studied at the School of American Ballet in NYC. While a successful actress, she has had her problems, having been replaced on at least three major projects by other actresses. (personality issues and injuries).
Who is this mystery woman? |

Okay, I think this shouldn't be too difficult:
In 1992 he invited his friends, who he had not seen for ten years, to his countryside manor for a weekend.
In 1994 he was the fiancé of the relative of a famous scientist.
In 1997 he was a famous author who had to spend some time in prison.
In 2001 he was a rather clumsy inspector who had to solve a murder mystery in an old-fashioned country house.
Who is the actor? |

I'm sorry, I did not think it would be that difficult. I don't want to give away the solution yet as maybe someone else has an idea already, but maybe it helps if I add some details to the hints:

In 1994 he was the fiancé of the relative (= niece) of a famous scientist, who was born in Germany.
In 1997 he was a famous Irish author who had to spend some time in prison because of his "way of living"
In 2001 he was a rather clumsy inspector who had to solve a murder mystery in an old-fashioned country house.

How about this? If you still dont have a clue, I'll make it more obvious |

And Stephen Fry it is! Congrats, anya!!
I was considering whether to add the hint:

Every time the score of this movie is playing at SST, you can see me screaming in the chatroom

But that truelly would have made it too obvious, I think |

Oops! It was my turn!
My career really started after a movie (comedy) in which I had the leading role and I had to gain weight for playing the character.
I was nominated once at the Oscars and I received a Golden Globe (not for this movie).
I've played in more than thirty movies and different TV shows.
Who am I? What's the title of the comedy? |

The movie in question was made in this century. The filming locations for this movie are in Germany, Morocco and Finland. Danny Boyle was developing the story with one of the screenwriters but then stepped out of the project. The actress playing the main character was once nominated for an academy award (not for this movie!).
What's the title of the movie? |
