[Brendan]

scootyes89 you got another one for us?

[scootyes89]

ok...how about Patrick Stewart.

[Brendan]

I just watched an episode of Enterpise that featured Zefram Cochrane who was played James Cromwell in Star Trek: First Contact (1996) which Patrick Stewart was in, obviously so, since he played the man, Captian Picard. Anyway, James Cromwell was also in Space Cowboys (2000).

NEXT: Amanda Bynes

[KC]

Amanda Bynes, whoever she is, was one of the voice performers in the direct-to-video Charlotte's Web 2: Wilbur's Great Adventure. Another was Pamelyn Ferdin (of Beguiled fame).

Direct-to-video films, like made-for-TV films, really ought to be out of bounds here, but young Ms. Bynes doesn't seem to have been in much of anything, so I'll let it go.  

Be back with a new one shortly.  

[Brendan]

Its ok KC  , I'll accept it and wont bother fighting it like that Monica Belluci one. I still dont see the connection....  

[Red]

Be back with a new one shortly.  

Have you run out of Swedish Actors KC ?  

[KC]

Oooooooops ...  

How about the great Peter Stormare?

[Brendan]

Peter Stormare was in The Big Lebowski (1998) with Jeff Bridges who was in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974).

NEXT: Trey Parker

[KC]

Trey Parker was in Newsies (1992) with Jo Ann Harris of Beguiled fame ... or infamy ... ... and Robert Duvall (Joe Kidd).

How about Bobby Darin?

[Brendan]

Bobby Darin was in Captain Newman, M.D. (1963) with Robert Duvall who was in Joe Kidd.

NEXT: Bryan Singer (let me know if this one is ok.  )

[KC]

NEXT: Bryan Singer (let me know if this one is ok.  )

Do you mean because he's a director, not an actor? (Aside from an uncredited bit in some Star Trek thingie or other.)

I guess it's OK, Nightwing ... but then there has to be a connection to a film that Clint directed, and didn't act in!

And ... there is. Singer directed The Usual Suspects (1995), which featured Kevin Spacey (Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) ... and just for good measure, Dan Hedaya (Tightrope).

Is that OK?

[Brendan]

Actually I was going with an acting credit. But I figured there would be nothing there. If you want you can take this one, or I'll get another one.

[KC]

Hmmmm, well, he doesn't have any acting credits, except for the one Star Trek role, for which he strictly speaking doesn't have an acting credit either, since he was ... "uncredited" ... and a few turns as "himself," which isn't acting ... is it?

However that may be ... Bryan Singer played "himself" in Cannes Man (1996), which starred Seymour Cassel ("Joe," the punk who annoyed Julie, in Coogan's Bluff) ... and a long string of other "Himselfs" and "Herselfs" with Eastwood credits, namely: Lara Flynn Boyle (The Rookie), Ann Cusack (Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil), Dennis Hopper (Hang 'em High), John Malkovich (In the Line of Fire), Chris Penn (Pale Rider) ... and Nino Cerruti, who's done most of Clint's costumes since In the Line of Fire.

[Brendan]

Ah... yah, you can have it.  

[KC]

Richard Todd (the original Richard Todd, b. 11 June 1919).

[Daisy Abigael]

Richard Todd (the original Richard Todd, b. 11 June 1919).

The "original" Richard Todd - busts dams flatter than your cheaper brands!  

The smooth and sexy Dicky T was in The Long, the Short and the Tall with Richard Harris.

He's still going strong BTW - spotted this year in an episode of Midsommer Murders.  

[KC]

Thanks, Daisy! That's good to know. Was The Long, the Short and the Tall the prequel to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly?  

Got a new one?

[Daisy Abigael]

Paul McCartney, Victor Spinetti, John Junkin & Norman Rossington in A Hard Day's Night


The new one is that Welsh word-wizard Victor Spinetti.
