The Trio Game

Vampy is correct. In Benchley's book, the captain of the Orca died very much like the captain of the Pequod. But in Jaws, the movie, it was changed. Also, part of the tricky clues is the difference between a mammal and a fish, ha ha ha.

Your turn, Vampy.
 
1.) starred in over 1,000 films
2.) appears in the Guinness Book of World Records
3.) a TKE member

I think he was that UK stunt guy in Trivial Pursuit who died two years ago but still holds the record for film credits: Roy Alon?
 
Okay, I had to look up TKE. A frat, so I checked with my frat, Sigma Nu. Tau Kappa Epsilon's most infamous member is Ron "Hairy" Jeremy, a porn guy now subject of a documentary. There was a photo. If this guy's a star, there must be such a thing as comedy porn.

Ron Jeremy?

Finally! Yep! :)
 
Good one, Vampy. Took a lot of research. This game is an education.

1. First serialized in 1929 and ‘30 editions of Black Mask, a magazine of “Western, Detective & Adventure Stories.”

2. Made into three noir films in 1931, ‘36, and ‘41 . . . the 1941 version the best, nearly word-for-word from the popular book.

3. In print, the killer used a Webley-Fosbery .38 calibre 8-shot revolver. There was a six-shot .455 version of the experimental automatically cocking revolver. But the 1941 film writers had Bogey misidentify the handgun shown as a “Foresby .45 automatic . . . 8 shots . . . they don’t make ‘em anymore.” Truth is they got it wrong, but the erroneous phrase “automatic revolver” was born and never died thanks to hack mystery writers.
 
Right you are. No literary puzzle gets past "The Bott." Your turn.
