Peter Gibbons an ILE? A guy whose goal is to just do nothing an EP? He's an SLI. Not because he wants to "do nothing" (ILEs sure can be lazy), but because Si is such a strong element of his personality, and there is little desire to set his understanding in motion (Ne ----> Fe in alpha), but rather using work or lack thereof to give him opportunities to explore (Te ----> Ne in delta).

Albert Finney is the actor who plays the older Edward Bloom in Big Fish.
Edward is probably an IEE rather than an ILE; the impact of a story and it's importance to people is far more important than its coherence or facts.

The other ones I can see.

The most common way an ILE is portrayed in movies is as the stock character of the mad scientist. Several of these have already been mentioned. I'm trying to think of movies that get more into the character of an ILE, and I'm having trouble, so I'll get back to you.

That Si element though was only brought to the forefront due to the hypnosis.

My mistake with Albert Finney. I do not see a HA in Edward Bloom though, but do see a HA in his desire to be well received by his stories and to make it big. The was devalued, and the tension between Edward Bloom and his son arose from the son's -driven values of the gross exaggeration and embellishments of the story.

Yes, the mad scientist is the stock ILE character, but it would be good to find characters that avoided that stereotype. I too will hopefully come back to this question. If this thread was more open-ended to include TV shows, it would be easier for me, but I will stick with movies.
