About Troy Heinzman Expertise I have a wide area of expertise in movie trivia. I am knowledgeable in a variety of movies released in the last 20 years. I am accurately able to name actors, character names and even specific scenes from a given movie. I have an uncanny ability to retain actor and character names from numerous movies. I can`t hear someone talking about movies and asking questions without wanting to answer them. My friends have banned me from playing Director`s Cut because I win so often.
Experience Watching movies frequently. Browsing movie websites. Keeping up to date on new releases. Constantly looking for new pieces of trivia about my favorite movies.

Question Troy, I need help with a daily trivia question. Here it is...what actor was nominated for an Oscar, a Tony and an Emmy for playing the same character? He won the Oscar and Tony. HINT: the character was eventually updated on screen by a Saturday Night Live semi-regular. If you could answer this question today I would greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely, Mike
Answer José Ferrer won the very first Tony Award for performance for his Broadway turn as Cyrano de Bergerac in 1946, and won the Oscar for the film version 4 years later. He was also nominated for an Emmy for playing Cyrano on television in 1955, but lost that award to Lloyd Nolan playing Captain Queeg in the TV production of The Caine Mutiny Court Martial.
Steve Martin updated the role with his turn in "Roxanne".
