In the answers, I'll identify the first movie and first TV series
where the indicated actor played the person, giving the title only
once it if was the same.
> 1. Movie, Gary Oldman; TV, Ben McKenzie.
(Commissioner) James Gordon ["Batman Begins" (2005); "Gotham"
(2015-)]. 4 for Stephen.
> 2. Movie, Mark Ruffalo; TV, Bill Bixby.
Dr. Bruce/David Banner ["The Avengers" (2012); "The Incredible Hulk"
(1977-82)]. 4 for Joshua (the hard way), Calvin, and Dan Tilque.
3 for Bruce.
Sorry to those who said "the Hulk", but it's a wrong answer: when
David Banner turned into the Hulk he was played by Lou Ferrigno.
> 3. Movie, Robert Downey Jr.; TV, Jonny Lee Miller.
Sherlock Holmes ["Sherlock Holmes" (2009), though I'd rather say
that that was a different character of the same name; "Elementary"
(2012-)]. 4 for Joshua, Gareth, Björn, Calvin, and Stephen.
> 4. Movie, Armie Hammer; TV, Clayton Moore.
John Reid, aka the Lone Ranger ["The Lone Ranger" (2013; 1949-57)].
4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, Gareth, Bruce, Pete, Jason, Stephen,
and Dan Tilque.
I hadn't heard of Armie Hammer before playing this round in
the original game. His real first name is Armand and he's the
great-grandson of the business tycoon of the same name. However,
the brand name Arm & Hammer is unrelated (except that Armand Hammer
eventually bought a portion of that company and tried to buy a
controlling interest).
> 5. Movie, Gary Oldman; TV, Sir Alec Guinness.
George Smiley ["Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" (2011; 1979)].
4 for Joshua, Gareth, and Stephen.
> 6. Movie, Christopher Lambert; TV, Ron Ely.
Lord Greystoke, aka Tarzan ["Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord
of the Apes " (1984); "Tarzan" (1966-68)]. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua,
Bruce, Pete, Jason, Calvin, and Stephen.
> 7. Movie, Bruce Greenwood; TV, Greg Kinnear.
John F. Kennedy ["Thirteen Days" (2000), "The Kennedys" (2011)].
The first name was required. 4 for Joshua and Stephen.
> 8. Movie, Daniel Day-Lewis; TV, Hal Holbrook.
Abraham Lincoln ["Lincoln" (2012; 1974-76)]. 4 for Joshua, Pete,
Calvin, and Stephen.
> 9. Movie, Gene Hackman; TV, Michael Rosenbaum.
Lex Luthor ["Superman" (1978); "Smallville" (2001-11)]. 4 for
Dan Blum, Joshua, Gareth, Pete, Calvin, and Stephen.
> 10. Movie, Bradley Cooper; TV, Dirk Benedict.
Lt. Templeton Arthur Peck, aka "Face" or "Faceman" ["The A-Team"
(2010; 1983-87)]. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, Gareth, Jason, Calvin,
and Stephen.
