Q: What makes Sylvester Stallone's voice so much different? Is it an accent? I've seen his lips sort of droop at times -- is that related to it?

You're right in thinking his facial expressions are related to his distinctive voice. With his slurred speech and droopy face, Hollywood superstar Sylvester Stallone is proof that curses can turn into blessings.

During his birth, the doctor had to use forceps, which accidentally severed a facial nerve. The impacts on his face and voice might seem to be a disadvantage to someone pursuing an acting career. Unless, that is, he's writing his own parts.

Q: Who is the man that does the Trivago commercials? Is he related to former president George W. Bush? He sure looks like he could be.

You aren't the only person to notice the resemblance between Trivago pitchman Tim Williams and former U.S. president George W. Bush, however there seems to be no actual relation.

There are a few sources for the similarity: Both seem to suit the salt-and-pepper hair they're sporting, both manage to look casual in whatever they're wearing, and then there's the facial expression -- what media industry blogger Brad Warthen called "the patented 'W' smirk."

Q: I loved the movie "Tenth Avenue Angel," but I never see it on TV. Why?

Author:

There's one pretty simple reason why most movies appear in theaters and then rarely, if ever, show up again. If you look at the entertainment pages of your newspaper, you'll see at least two new film releases every week. Add those to the 100-plus years of cinematic history behind us, and you have a body of work that's too big for TV to cover.

However, there's an extra reason why "Tenth Avenue Angel" doesn't show up: It was terrible.
