The “Holdovers” Actor: A Crossword Clue Challenge
This week’s crossword clue has thrown me for a loop! It’s a classic “actor’s name” clue, but with a twist that’s making me scratch my head. The clue reads:
“Actor in ‘The Holdovers’ who won a Golden Globe for ‘Sideways’.”
Now, I’m not one to shy away from a good challenge, but this one has me stumped. I’ve been staring at this clue for what feels like hours, flipping through my mental rolodex of actors and their roles.
The movie “The Holdovers” features a stellar cast, and I can’t seem to pinpoint the actor who fits the description. And while “Sideways” is a well-known film with an equally impressive ensemble, the Golden Globe win for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy adds an extra layer of complexity.
If you’re a crossword enthusiast like myself, you know that feeling. The frustration, the sense of accomplishment when you finally crack the code, and the pure joy of filling in the blank square. So, fellow crossword solvers, join me in this quest to decipher this cryptic clue!
Let’s brainstorm:
Is this a tricky play on words? Maybe a hint within the clue itself reveals a key to the answer?
Are there any other films or roles this actor is known for that might help us identify them?
What about the character they play in “The Holdovers”? Could their personality or the film’s themes provide a clue?
