Who am I?

[Jchillin]

If you had left out the Beach boys reference...maybe...LOL.

"I was born in 1887 in Oklahoma. I participated in athletics in school and someone noticed that I possessed some very unique skills. I entered the 1912 Olympics and won gold medals in the Decathalon and Penthahlon. In college, in set records in football. I played major league baseball and managed a professional football team.

My career was rocked with controversy when I was stripped of my Olympic medals. A lot of people felt that it was because of my ancestry. No problem, years after my death, my medals were returned to my heirs." I was given a title that if I were alive when it was awarded, I would have probably turned it down because of my modesty."

[Toirtis]

Heh, thanks.

OK, now gotta think up something that will pose a challenge.

 

[Rach101]

[Toirtis]

I would, but anyone under 40 has no real history to mine for hints.

 

[Rach101]

..z.z come on man im only thirteen give me a break lol

 

[Jchillin]

Don't ya worry Rach...I promise on my next turn, I'll give something a little more modern (maybe the 70's or 80's).

 

[Rach101]

jeez.. 70's is old for me even lol.. thats like twenty years before i was born lol

 

[Toirtis]

jchillin can have my turn...I can't think of anything just now, and am up to my eyeballs in stuff for the auction that I am running in 8 hours.

Don't mind if I do:

"I was born on January 31, 1981 in Memphis, Tennessee. At the age of 11, I appeared on the show "Star Search", and even though I didn't win, it didn't dampen my ambitions. I also appeared on "The Mickey Mouse Club" TV show. My co-stars included Christina Augliera, Britney Spears and another guy who would join me later on to form a very popular music group. We attained unparalled success, almost every song hit #1 on the music charts.

I left the group to go solo. I got into some hot water over a year ago regarding a wardrobe accident at a televised sporting event."

I would have got Gein, Kemper, or Fish pretty quickly, too...

My first name is Lenny (after my father), and I am the child of a Brit and an Irishwoman. I hated my sisters and school, but taught myself piano. I have been in the Royal Shakespeare company, and appeared on kid's shows, American sitcoms, blockbuster movies, and more. I play a lot of villains and anti-heroes, have been married and divorced 3 times, and have one child.
