Hmmmm.............a few of those are abbreviations of different names.

Abbreviations were not excluded under the terms of my question

Yes, but Samuel is not the same name as Samantha. Ditto Alexander/Alexandra, Andrew/Andrea and God knows what girls' names Johnnie and Jamie are supposed to be abbreviations of, but they're not the same names as the male name.

Locking Winston in the Fridge
A fun game that was very popular among the fans was locking Winston in the fridge, as he always followed you. Run into the kitchen. Open the fridge by using the button. Get inside the fridge and wait for Winston to appear. Then quickly run out leaving him and shut the door again. This can be done in Tomb Raider II and Tomb Raider III.

The role of Ruby Finch, the dim-witted, put-upon scullery maid in Upstairs, Downstairs forever dreaming of running away with Rudolph Valentino, brought Jenny Tomasin fame worldwide.

Anthony Hopkins isn't "a butler in TV, film or book fiction". What's going on there?

A fail surely?

as an actor, he played one

clever answer, and an ambiguous question by me

I don't get it. The question isn't ambiguous. It's a wrong answer.

Its a correct answer from a lateral angle, in my opinion
