Weirdly I got stuck on MILEY because I misread the clue and put in CYRUS. GAc certainly made no sense for "Bit of cheesecake". I knew EMILE Hirsch, without even knowing who he is.

I wanted to keep ELK in there for 41A Antlered animal, which was, of course, correct, but I originally had GOcART and was hoping for Carl Gibson instead, but I could recall to mind no antlers on an eel, so I eventually had my aha moment. I agree on the extreme difficulty of spelling MNIGHTSHYAMALAN (I had to refer to my puzzle just then) even though I've heard it numerous times.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
