Connecting Game

[Reply #560 on:]

IIRC they didn't do any movies together, but I didn't think it would be that difficult... basically I just took two "old-school" actors and checked if I could connect them myself without too much trouble.

I'm sure somebody could do better, but I did it via Roger Moore, Lois Chiles and Peter Ustinov in Wild Geese/Moonraker/Death on the Nile/Spartacus, respectively.

And since you put so much effort into it, your turn next, laroquettespine.

That was a lot tougher than I thought it would be.  It's going to be fun to see the much simpler link that I overlooked.  Well, not so much fun as depressing.
