But it's so simple!
Can I just leave it and let him figure it out himself?

That’s entirely your choice
What you saying, Iranu??!

Well the first bit was identifying the two actors: James Nesbitt and Liam Neeson.
The easy bit was googling ‘James Nesbitt and Liam Neeson’ to immediately identify the film they’d done together…
‘Five Minutes of Heaven’
In terms of snooker, this points straight to Ronnie’s fastest ever 147, which could quite aptly be described as five minutes of heaven.

Oh I see! I didn't think to look for a film they'd done together, I was trying to wrangle their names into something approaching an answer. D'oh.

Huh. I actually did that google, found the film and thought “nah, bit tenuous.”

This could be a tricky one. I'm 99% sure extra clues will be needed, so apologies in advance:

Not Jimmy Michie. Good thinking but you're on the wrong track for both clues

Terry Griffiths is correct!
I was thinking Steve Irwin's wife, Terri, for Crocodile, but there you go

Ah I did look at Steve Irwin but didn’t think to check his wife.
And yet I couldn’t get Ronnie O’Sullivan even after literally having the answer in front of me

Nah, after five minutes, he was only on 134.
Interestingly, the famous 5:20 maximum actually only took 5:09 from the moment he first struck the white to the moment the last black dropped. I think Dennis Taylor said it was 5:20 and nobody bothered to check.

This is true
Let’s be honest, if someone was ever to comprehensively fact-check Dennis they’d have their hands full. I remember when he pointed Patsy Fagan out in the crowd, gave it the obligatory “he’s a great friend of mine, hope you’re well Patsy”, only it wasn’t Patsy, just some random guy that looked a bit like him

I remember that too. It wasn't very long ago. There was also an occasion when he was emcee for some reason, and introduced Mark Allen into the arena as Mark Williams.

Not Ross Muir.
The first word is definitely the bigger one. The second is more a bit of extra context.

Alex Higgins?
The fun explanation: The Pelican Brief is a famous film, so brief might mean looking for a player known for speed. Alex Higgins used to be a jockey. Neeeeigh.
