Nominated for an Oscar in 1970, this actor is reprising a role in a 2019 film that he first performed in a 1994 film of the same name
If the J! writers were to make it a FJ! clue then they would probably do it with the math variety they like to use of 2019 and 25 years after.
My coin landed here over posting in current events. If someone thinks it is worth it over there as well then beside the correct response of Spoiler
James Earl Jones, voicing Mufasa again, there is also Donald Glover voicing Simba & Beyonce voicing Nala.

DESCRIPTIVE NAMES
This 9-letter word from Greek, normally a verb, is a fitting first name of the man who fathered Dennis Rodman and at least 25 other children. Spoiler
Philander
I did not know that trivium. Thank you. That said, I bet they wouldn't let this clue on the show. A little too spicy and it throws some shade at a living person and his powerful relative.
[EDIT: should've checked the archive first. Back in 2000 we saw this clue
#3638, aired 2000-05-31 "PHIL" IN THE ____ $1000: Dennis Rodman's father, who reportedly has 27 children, has the first name ____, which means "to womanize"
That might be a skosh tamer in that it doesn't moralize on the name being "fitting". But it's pretty similar.]
Tangent: What's the spiciest and/or shade-throwingest clue anyone can remember that did make it to air? A quick check tells me they never talked about Slick Willie except to refer to the "original" of that name, bank robber Willie Sutton. But Tricky Dick has been fair game since November 1997 (three and a half years after Nixon's death).

Even though I see they've done it 7 times since 2011, I'm always surprised when they refer to the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch...considering what the "inch" signifies...

This season, on October 1, with the category NO FILTER, "This ever-quotable man put in a brief but memorable 10 days in 2017 as White House communications director". I remember watching and being mildly surprised that Alex accepted "The Mooch".
As for Philander himself? His tale gets even weirder. Apparently he ran off to the Philippines, and even without ever meeting Dennis until 2012, he had widely capitalized on his son's fame, opening a restaurant called Rodman's Rainbow Obamaburger (not a typo) with the #91 jersey prominently on display, and introducing himself as Dennis's father. Hamburgers there are available in red, green, and yellow, an homage to Dennis's hair colorings.

Chuck Berry's Ding-a-Ling has two hits (though most recently in 2002).

BEST PICTURE OSCAR NOMINEES
These two men were each the subject of a different 1942 Best Picture-nominated film with "Yankee" in its title Spoiler
Who are Lou Gehrig and George M. Cohan?
I like it. Way too complex for regular game play. And too much even for a DD. But with FJ time at my disposal I was able to put it all together. This is what an FJ clue should be. (Still, outside a TOC or similar, I'm predicting most contestants would miss it. Which makes it the perfect FJ for my first game when I'm almost but not quite locked out.)
