I have not won an Oscar yet, but I have the face of someone who will. Meanwhile, when the category is Actor or actress, I play with this cheat sheet: actors and actresses for every letter, A to Z.

How to use this list in Stop

Actor or actress is one of the categories Polar Games’ online Stop already knows. It comes in a ready-made TV theme, and you can add it to your own list too.

Stop! only draws letters that have known answers in the round’s categories, and a letter never repeats in the same match.
