Round 5: Tossup 20

A film starring this actor was the subject of a successful script plagiarism lawsuit against Paramount by Art Buchwald, which led to more careful Hollywood accounting. This actor’s first scene on film depicts him singing along with a Walkman playing “Roxanne” by the Police. Upon wrapping a scene in which this actor says “I’m your worst nightmare” after a bar fight, the director Walter Hill said “we’re rich.” In a 1987 film shot by Ernest Dickerson and directed by Robert (*) Townsend, this actor impersonates an Italian-American who has just seen Rocky. This actor wrote “no, motherfucker, I didn’t forget” in the liner notes of an album he recorded to win a 100,000-dollar bet with his mentor. Boyz II Men wrote “End of the Road” for a film starring this actor, who debuted in 48 Hrs. This actor is described as “raw” in the title of (10[1])the highest-grossing stand-up comedy film. For 10 points, name this actor who sang “Party All the Time” (10[1])and played Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop. ■END■
