Identify a Person You Can't Quite Place

An actor whose name escapes you, someone you've seen before, a face without a name. Describe who you remember and where you saw them — Vaguely figures out who it is.

How it works

Vaguely is a search engine for things on the tip of your tongue. Instead of needing the exact title or keywords, you describe what you remember — however vague or fragmented — and Vaguely searches everywhere to identify it. It expects misremembered details: the wrong decade, mixed-up facts, a half-remembered name. It searches around the parts you got wrong to find what's right.

Try describing it like this

"actor who played the dad in a 2000s sitcom"
"the woman from that insurance commercial"
"athlete who did the backflip celebration"

You don't need to be precise. Pick the Person category, type what you remember, and let Vaguely do the rest.
