Speaks Volumes Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Guess Who

I am an American actor and most say I have charm.
I’ve never been in horror movies that bring people harm.
I’ve played lots of parts and fans call me versatile.
I have been told that my ability to act makes directors smile.

I create my parts and make the characters as real as I can.
Oh, I nearly forget to tell you that I am an American man.
Between 1980 and 1982 I was in a sit-com wearing a dress.
Called Bosom Buddies, but probably won’t help you guess.

I am not a good looking guy like Swayze, Depp or DiCaprio
The name “Ryan” has come up as a movie I was in, and also,
As one of the lovely ladies I have acted with, I am 6 feet tall.
My wife kept her last name Wilson, it’s the name of a  ball.

Playing a pilot and a war hero, prison warder and professor,
I am starting to hope that this sponsor is a good guesser.
I was offended for all women by a guy named Trump .
My most famous role was a guy with initials F. G.

Andrea Dietrich March 23, 2024 at 8:39 AM This wasn't way too easy for me but I saw someone's answer below. You should have mentioned how he played a mentally challenged guy with a box of chocolates. Haha. I think my entry was way too hard to make the list. Congrats on making it! Speaks Volumes March 23, 2024 at 9:26 AM The last two lines indicate that a character he played rhymed with Trump and had the initials FG... lol I thought THAT made it easy lol ........... But you are right Chocies would have clinched it..
