The real inspiration (in part) of QI and the Creator's first choice, well he was a saint. Put them together and what have you got, bibbity bobbity boo? Seven Dwarves?
Three answers, two people and what do you get when you put them together.
Lots of 
because this is just too easy.

Orcus:Is one Walt Disney? Seven Dwarves and cinderella are creations of his.
I am kinder than I thought, nothing for Mickey/Mortimer but.....
Walt Disney

Fred dances but Walt Disnae.

No rings from these dwarfs, just a very fishy smell of red

The following people were saints:
George Sanders
Vincent Price
Roger Moore
Ian Ogilvy
Val Kilmer (but we don't talk about him)
There were others but I can't remember them.
The Creator's first choice was, I think, Cary Grant.

Michael Caine and Roger Moore. I can't think of anything they've both done.

Neither can I, certainly not acting unless you include Roger Moore's eyebrows in the list!
But Interesting Michael Caine is too left field for a Klaxon.
