Before I suggest two actors, here's an example- Cemeron Diaz to Angelina Jolie in 3 moves- Cameron Diaz was in Life Less Ordinary with Ewan McGregor who was in Trainspotting with Jonny Lee Miller who was in Hackers with Angelina Jolie.

So your task is to link Keanu Reeves and Helena Bonham-Carter. Get to it!

Regrettable Juvenilia

13:25 / 25.09.03

Easy. Keanu was in Much Ado About Nothing, with Kenneth Branaaaaarrrrgggghhh. Who has been in loads of films with Bonham Carter, I think, but for example, Frankenstein.

Regrettable Juvenilia

13:26 / 25.09.03

Here's mine: Joe Pantoliano to Dean Stockwell.

Char Aina

13:28 / 25.09.03

i dont know who they are...

unless dean stockwell is al from quantum leap.
then i only need to know who this panty-lolita bloke is.

Linus Dunce

My university classmate used to fancy Keanu something rotten and someone I met later who had been to the same university had a HBC haircut ...

Er, they both have ears?

This isn't what you meant at all really, is it?

Tryphena Absent

13:35 / 25.09.03

Easy!! Joe Pantoliano is in The Fugitive with Harrison Ford who's in Air Force One with Dean Stockwell.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Julia Roberts.

The Strobe

13:42 / 25.09.03

JRM was in Titus with Anthony Hopkins, who was (ugh) in Meet Joe Black with Brad Pitt, who was in Ocean's 11 with Julia Roberts.

Next.

I nominate...

Matthew Modine to Samuel L. Jackson. Amaze me.

_Boboss

Regrettable Juvenilia

13:47 / 25.09.03

Rats, I had a far more sordid equation in mind: Bound >> Gina Gershon >> Showgirls >> Kyle MacKICKYOURAGENTlachlan >> Blue Velvet.

The Strobe

13:49 / 25.09.03

Dolph Lundgren was in Johnny Mnemonic.
Ouch.
So was Keanu Reeves.
Who was in the Matrix with
Carrie-Ann Moss
Who was in Red Planet with
Val Kilmer
who could be Tom Cruise's wingman any day
in
Top Gun.

Tada!

Jub

13:50 / 25.09.03

Paleface, they were both in Fluke together!

Tryphena Absent

13:50 / 25.09.03

OK I don't even understand the last three posts. Can you please explain your connections properly so people get who you're talking about. Also if you hit the preview button before you post you can check to see if anyone else has answered.

_Boboss

13:51 / 25.09.03

i just need a spacey/buscemi connection and i'm rocken on the other one though.

Tryphena Absent

13:56 / 25.09.03

Right so we're on Kevin Spacey to Glenn Close...

The Strobe

14:00 / 25.09.03

Close was Gertrude to Mel Gibson's Hamlet.

Mel Gibson was in Signs, a film by M Night Shyamalan

who directed Sixth Sense, which starred Haley Joel Osment

who was also in Pay it Forward with Kevin Spacey.

Jub

14:03 / 25.09.03

are we allowed directors then? I thought it was only actors.

The Strobe

14:07 / 25.09.03

Well, still works, because Shyamalan acted in both too - he was Reddy in Signs and the doctor in Sixth Sense, IIRC.

Mourne Kransky

14:07 / 25.09.03

Kevin Spacey was in Working Girl with Harrison Ford who was in Airforce One with Glenn Close - no need to make it more complicated.

So: Richard Burton and LeVar Burton?

Sax

14:10 / 25.09.03

Kevin Spacey was in Working Girl with Harrison Ford

Who was in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade with Sean Connery

Who was in Entrapment with Catherine Zeta Jones

Who starred in Traffic with Michael Douglas

Who was in Fatal Attraction with Glenn Close!

Char Aina

14:14 / 25.09.03

oooh... good one!

i think the key will be dr polaski from star trek... but i dont know her real name.

The Strobe

14:14 / 25.09.03

Richard Burton was in Equus with
Eileen Atkins who was in the Dresser with
Albert Finney who was in Miller's Crossing with
Gabriel Byrne who was in Excalibur with
Patrick Stewart who was in Star Trek: TNG with
Levar Burton.

Phew.

Sax

14:14 / 25.09.03

I think Richard Burton and Patrick Stewart acted together in a film about Churchill absolutely yonks ago, which leads into Stewart and LaVar Burton in Star Trek. Possibly.

Mourne Kransky

14:16 / 25.09.03

Paleface, you have gone supernova! Respect, dude.

Now we need another combo to get our little razor-sharp teeth into...

Char Aina

14:16 / 25.09.03

fucking hell.

you guys rule me.

i am going back to halliwell...

Sax

14:17 / 25.09.03

Orson Welles and Keifer Sutherland.

Mourne Kransky

14:21 / 25.09.03

Correct, lovely lovely Sax: The Gathering Storm (1974).

Tryphena Absent

14:31 / 25.09.03

Okay- Orson Welles was in Casino Royale with Woody Allen who was in Hannah and her Sisters with Dianne Weist who was in Lost Boys with Kiefer Sutherland.

The Strobe

14:35 / 25.09.03

I think we need to score how much reference we're using.

That Levar Burton one required two looks in IMDB - one for what Albert Finney was in, one for Eileen Atkins. I'm not doing this all from reference materials, you know... (Oh, and I had to check Glenn Close was in Hamlet).

Tryphena Absent

14:39 / 25.09.03

Well I forgot that Woody Allen was in Hannah and her Sisters and was going to use Mia Farrow as the link but then realised when I checked to make sure she was in it. I think that's the only thing I've looked up though.

grant

14:49 / 25.09.03

Paul McCartney and Haley Joel Osment

(by the way, there's software that does this using imdb.com....)

Quantum

14:49 / 25.09.03

OK, try the classic Kevin Bacon to Kevin Smith

Jub

14:49 / 25.09.03

I've been cheating like a trooper! Using Star Links. I know it's not very sporting, but I laugh in the face of fair play.

grant

14:54 / 25.09.03

Don’t forget LeVar Burton was in Roots – does that count? Because that’s a star-studded extravaganza….
