Stump the LAMBs Movie Trivia Quiz Answer: Barry Corbin and Tommy Lee Jones

Thanks to my brother Steve for the last question, which no one got right. Had I left it in the form he sent it -- it indicated that the movies were from 2007 -- I'm sure at least some people would have guessed the answer. But that would have been too easy, so I removed that minor point!

Here's the question again:

Which two actors played sheriffs together in one movie and ex-Army buddies in another? (Hint: The movies were released in the same year.)

The answer:

The actors are Barry Corbin and Tommy Lee Jones.

In 2007's No Country for Old Men, Barry Corbin played Tommy Lee Jones' father. His character had also been sheriff before Jones' character held that job. Additionally, Corbin played Jones' Army buddy in In the Valley of Elah.

Here's the next question:

On April 12 I posed a question about a female hoofer who danced in a back brace. This time I'd like to know the name of the male dancer who broke a rib while filming a dance scene but didn't stop dancing until he knew the scene was in the can.

Please include the following information in your response:

1. The actor's name
2. Your name
3. Your blog name
4. Your blog URL
