Are these sentences natural? July 24

Hi,

Are these sentences natural to a native ear?

1. Doesn’t he look like an actor; I am forgetting the name of the actor.

2. Does this activity knock the wind out of you?

3. If you don’t follow their orders it is treated as a contempt of the court.

Thanks,
MG
