The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming

Most of us love the movies, so here is an easy quiz to find a movie cache. The actors are all in the 1966 movie "The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming". This was a funny film avout the Cold War when it was serious business. The film roles are played by some well known actors. With a little research this should be an easy puzzle. You need to find the real names of the actors in this movie from the following hints (their marquee names). When you identify the actor take the first letter of his or her last name. Assign a value, A=1, B=2, C=3 etc. and preform the following calculations.

Just substitute the answers in 29 4a.bcd 95 2e.fgh. The final location of the cache was once beside the Russian Community Center. They have moved and a catering business is now there. The cache is in the same old place. You are looking for a magnetic nano (sorry about that, but there are not many hiding places). Bring your own pen and just sign with your initials. Oh, and try not to throw too many curses at the CO when putting the log back in the container. Have fun!!!
