Consolation giveaways (2x) for lack of solvers

It's been a week and unfortunately not one person managed to solve all the questions!

The post itself provided the puzzle link (1st letter of each paragraph; also a 1-letter hidden link at the end of each paragraph), while also giving clues for each question sequentially. Prizes were indicated in the poll.

Answers are here. If you want to try without looking at the answers, just remove the last section of the link.
Explanations for the thread clues are spoiler-ed below and part 2 hints in the ITH link - references in italics, (one of the accepted) answers in bold.

GAs at the bottom.

Acting has been my passion since I was five. I totally kick/punch ass at it too if you can refrain from laughing - well maybe not always, sometimes I just mess around with the furniture. I haven't been a Master of Sobriety, if you know what I mean. But hey, at least I bonded with a black guy over daddy issues during prime time. Real stand-up dude, had his shirt tucked in all the time like it was his job or something.
Jackie Chan is an actor who combines comedy and martial arts, often throwing chairs and such. Was in Drunken Master, and Rush Hour with professional 'black guy' Chris Tucker, who also does stand-up comedy.

yet I've also been involved in politics along with the rest of my family. Shout-out to the ones who still exist as live human beings! Back in the States, I was the top dog in my age group! Err, best age in the best group? Whatever... I'll do better than 35th overall next time.
The Kennedy family is heavily political. JFK was the youngest president of the US, also the 35th.

9 is the number of different women my first three heavenly darlings turned out to be. Last time I saw them for the third time, they didn't look 35 years older at all.
Charlie's Angels - 3 'angels'/women, in 2 tv shows and a film. Difference in years between first and last tv shows was 35 years.

just thinking about one of latest ones now in fact; she's not that great in a Crisis, but she and I both call the same place home.
One of the latest trio was Rachel Taylor, who was also in the tv show Crisis. Like me, she's Australian.

dat duck-faced rapper rapped to me about time once - not the time you understand, but its existential reason for being. He didn't even mean it ironically! Oh what a day it is today, what an hour of happenstance.
Song by Drake and Future - What a time to be alive

zoos are one of my pet peeves. When I think of one, my mind goes into the Negative Zone. But I have no words. Well, maybe just three...
Negative Zone is a Marvel thing; Groot had a past with it after escaping from a zoo. Groot also mostly just says "I am Groot" in various ways.

until recently, you'd hear 'your mum' jokes all the time, but now? My pal Lucas, who is sometimes mistaken by Muslims for a bionic thief, thinks gender equality has finally arrived; I think he's taking it too personally myself.
Gender equality combined with 'your mum' = your dad. Alternatively, Lucas/Luke Skywalker had his hand sliced off and mechanically replaced. The guy also has issues with his dad.

everything I hear is credible. If you told me you were an alien, I'd ask which planet you're from. If you told me that gods exist, I'd agree with you. If you told me there are no such things, I wouldn't doubt you at all. Please, don't mock me for being what I am.
Someone who believes everything they hear, is a believer. People are also often mocked or asked not to be mocked for their beliefs.

Q9 explanation - It's the song Bitch by Meredith Brooks, where there's a lot of "I'm a ...", eg "I'm a sinner, I'm a saint...".
