The asterisked clues below have not been used:
a. Comparison phrase *
b. incriminating device
c. French writer
d. encouraging phrase *
e. actor *
f."acceptable"
g. literary/movie character
h. curmudgeon *
i. adjective
j. event
k. in NYC
l. TV show
Clue a probably goes with part 1, with the two middle words being "AS A". Clue d may refer to line 3 with the last two words being "AT IT".
Clue h might make 7 "Stick in the mud", but I don't know if curmudgeon is really synonymous with that. But if that's the case it would leave 12. -U-- -I--- as the actor.
