Round 2: Tossup 6

Description acceptable. After this character says “only 24 hours,” a woman’s voice is heard in the background exclaiming “24 hours is, like, three weeks!” In 2016 and 2022, Boris Johnson hailed this character as the “real hero” of the film in which he appears. (15[1])This character is the best-known role of an actor who played the protagonist’s revived friend Charlie in Seconds, the bartender in Anatomy of a Murder, and Mr. Robinson in The Graduate. This character says “I’m sorry … she’s wrong” after watching a grieving woman (*) slap (-5[1])a man in the face, but the man tells him “no she’s not.” A viral tweet from 2017 notes that the fact that this character retains his position in a sequel should motivate one to vote. This character, whose most notable attire is a suit with anchors all over it, tells a news crew that “Amity … means friendship.” For 10 points, Murray Hamilton played what politician in Jaws? ■END■ (10[1])
