Kingsley, I'm not sure that you're joking, so I'll answer: It's unambiguous to those who know that Ben Kingsley was in Gandhi and Sexy Beast. It's probably close to unambiguous to those who know that Ben Kingsley is an actor, and Gandhi and Sexy Beast are movies. To everyone else, it's probably ambiguous, which is my point. Joel.
