Mystery photo number nineteen

August 24, 2012 by Dave Knadler

They’ll charge you admission to get in.

This modest home has a strange painting hanging in the living room: It depicts a former owner of the house at the moment of his death.

For one point, where is this house and who was the former owner? For three points, name the actor who most recently portrayed the former owner in a movie.

More along these lines:

    IMDB says Jesse James was most recently portrayed by somebody called Lukas Behnken in the 2011 movie The Legend of Hell’s Gate: An American Conspiracy. But in case you were looking for a title role in a theatrical release, I think that would be Brad Pitt. If I only get one guess, I’m going with the first one.

      John gets four points, for a total of 13. (Again, you may want to double-check the accuracy of my totals.)

        13 looks right to me. I’m doing better than I realized!
