Although Sam was in my rushmore of standups, he is not the answer to this one.
He was the lead in movies so this is a yes.
This century?

No, although she has been an actress, an author, and is on the radio frequently.
I don’t believe so. At least that’s not what she’s famous for.

Berkeley California. But he's better known as a Masshole.
Not a scientist.
Does his fame come from his family?

Is he a scientist?

Is he a businessman/entrepreneur?

Is this guy an actor?

Smashing good answer! Played Dr Frankenstein and Van Helsing in multiple movies, played Dr Who twice, was in Star Wars with Alec Guiness, and his likeness was CGI’d in Rogue One.
Blimey, you’re up.
Well, I had the wrong guy in mind, which is even funnier. I got the clue but in reality didn't pay attention to "the doctor." After you said who it was it occurred to me, damn pay attention. I thought it was Boris Karloff.

He’s from England and has an English accent, so I would think most people would say he was an English actor.
I never thought of him as English. I thought of him as Not American. Maybe the parts he played made me think he was not English.
BTW, you give great clues, I really like them. I had to go back to see if you were the one giving clues for "Girl, dead" about 10 pages back. When I asked if she was American
you answered North American. I racked my brain for a half hour thinking Canadian or Mexican. I did Canadian first and couldn't come up with a single thought. Thought about Mexican for 10 seconds and figured I know no one. So I started thinking North American could mean before America, and that lead to only two possibilities. I didn't feel like giving clues so I asked "Native American" to make sure I had it correct. The subtlety of "North American" was just so good. Same with this person but maybe a little less subtle.

Not sure, but he would have been a fit. Two of his roles he played in multiple movies were German characters.
No, live action. The tv character has been played by many actors over the years.
I can’t say. His role as a doctor could probably bring life to the answers.
I believe I know who it is. Your clues have been sneakily good.
So I will ask, I think most don't think of him as an English actor?

Not George. This person also starred a couple of times as a character who has been on tv since the 60’s until now.
No, but they appeared in a popular movie together.
Did this guy play a German Nazi in one or more movies?

I see a face but can't recall his name. It may not be him. Taking a break to let the sub-conscience work on it.
The game is better with more players.

No, but he was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. The characters were in three different movie series, not all in one.
I have no idea of that honor. The first guy I thought of may be in the running yet but I really only think of him has being the primary character in a long running movie series.
So since you started this thread, I have been running a line from a Kinks song through my head. I am a big Kinks fan. So if it is not this guy, I think it is someone like him.
Here is the line.
"If you covered him with garbage
George Sanders would still have style" -

Yes, I can think of at least 3 characters.
I had someone in mind but the 3 characters has thrown me off.
Was he knighted?

No, just the opposite. His likeness was even used in a movie after he was dead.
Was he in a series of movies with the same character?

You don’t really “throw” a basketball. Calvin Murphy?
When you go to the foul line, what is that called? Sometimes clues are tough.
I couldn't say Buffalo related because he was at Niagara. Courier defined the time.
Calvin is the man. Better yet, I can go to bed.
Your up.

I think the answer better than the one I gave is he is related to WNY.

Yes
A good look at the clues would reveal there are not many that meet the criteria.

Nothing better than the ends of a good loaf of French or Italian bread.
