What ancient calendar will run out in 2012?

Could that be the Mayan Long Count calendar that will run out very soon?

You get to come up with the next question.

Okay, here's another tv trivia one.

In the tv show, Rhoda, remember Rhoda's dad? What character did he play in a movie with Paul Newman?

Would that be the movie Harper?

Harold Gould played Sheriff Spanner in that movie.

Nope. Wrong movie. Think more along the lines of Newman and Redford. (big hint there)

I'm guessing Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?

Nope. That certainly does narrow it down, though.

Harold Gould, The Sting
Gould had worked in television and film for almost 15 years before his career really took off with his portrayal of Kid Twist in The Sting. Twist's dignified, dapper appearance and manner put Gould into the ranks of memorable character actors, but he did not seem to be typecast and never lacked for work. He had parts in the Woody Allen movie Love and Death, as a villain in Silent Movie (directed by Mel Brooks), and made guest appearances on television shows such as Hawaii Five-O, Petrocelli, Soap, and The Love Boat.

In 1972, Gould was cast as Martin Morgenstern, the father of Mary's best friend Rhoda, in an episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. He reprised the role the following year and was hired as a regular when Rhoda was made into a spin-off in 1974. After Rhoda ended, Gould appeared in short-lived series such as The Feather and Father Gang and Washington: Behind Closed Doors. In the 1980 NBC miniseries Moviola, he portrayed Louis B. Mayer and earned an Emmy nomination. He appeared as Chad Lowe's grandfather in Spencer, and played a Jewish widower wooing the Christian Katharine Hepburn in Mrs. Delafield Wants to Marry. Other roles included a married man having an affair with another member of his Yiddish-speaking club in an episode of the PBS series The Sunset Years, and as the owner of a deli grooming two African-American men to inherit his business in Singer & Sons. [4] Gould received Emmy nominations for his roles in Rhoda, Mrs. Delafield Wants to Marry, and Moviola. Gould also played Miles Webber, the steadfast boyfriend of Rose Nylund (Betty White) on the NBC series The Golden Girls (he also played a different boyfriend of Rose's in the show's first season).
