WK,

For the love of crap, you're the Cephalofun moderator. Throw your weight around.

Steve Buscemi appeared in "Reservoir Dogs" with Harvey Keitel
Harvey Keitel appeared in "Saturn 3" with Kirk Douglas
Kirk Douglas appeared in "20,000 Leagues..."

Try this one: Donald Sutherland

kirk's getting a workout....

sutherland with ernest bourgnine in 'dirty dozen'
bourgnine with burt lancaster in 'from here to eternity'
lancaster with kirk douglas in 'seven days in may'

douglas in 20k leagues


how about william h. macy?

 

[nanoteuthis]

OK, wiseguys, here's one with a twist:

• - Bela Lugosi wrestled a rubber Octopus in Edward D. Wood's BRIDE OF THE MONSTER
  - Johnny Depp played the title role in ED WOOD
  - Johnny Depp appeared in EDWARD SCISSORHANDS with (briefly) Vincent Price
  - Vincent Price was in TOWER OF LONDON with Boris Karloff
  - Boris Karloff was in THE RAVEN with Bela Lugosi
  - Bela Lugosi wrestled a rubber Octopus in Edward D. Wood's BRIDE OF THE MONSTER

How'dya like them apples??

 

[Clem]

Here's a non-Douglas solution to the Sutherland problem:

Donald Sutherland starred in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" with Leonard Nimoy
Nimoy starred in "Star Trek" with George Takei
Takei appeared in "The Green Berets" with John Wayne
Wayne got killed by a squid in "Reap the Wild Wind"

Taningia, the elliptical structure of your sequence is quite lovely.

[nanoteuthis]

hes never in a starring role but still recognizable (kinda like gary busey)

Ahem.... it's a little-known fact that Gary Busey played the title role in THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY (and did a damn good job of it too, as I recall) 8)

Well done! (I had no idea that Takei was in THE GREEN BERETS, but I remember reading about REAP THE WILD WIND in the Ellis book SEARCH FOR THE G.S.)

Taningia, the elliptical structure of your sequence is quite lovely.

Why thank you, Clem -- a were-squid always appreciates a compliment on her elliptical structure.

I'm not getting anything except him with Steve Buscemi in Fargo (follow the aforementioned path).

William H. Macy stars in "Oleanna" by David Mamet

[Tintenfisch]

OK. Juliette Binoche.

 

[Phil]

Juliette Binoche's great grand-mother owned a cat named George.
George Lumiere made film about an pioneering early trip to the moon.
The Moon was depicted as exploding in the new version of the 'Time Machine'.
The first version of the Time Machine had interesting Morlocks.
The Morlocks also appeared in the X-Men comic.
Patrick Stewart, Prof X, has never appeared in a film with Juliette Binoche.

See, easy!

 

[Clem]

Tintenfisch,

Juliette Binoche stars in "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" with Lena Olin
Olin stars in "Enemies: A Love Story" with Angelica Huston
Huston stars in "Crimes and Misdemeanors" with Martin Landau

very nice....that was most of my original path, the only more direct way i could think of was :

macy with rip torn in 'down periscope'
rip torn in 'men in black' (squid baby)

 

[Clem]

WK,

Ouch. So much for my dreams of concision.

Here's one I can't work out, and though he came to film via a circuitous route, he was a movie star:

Frank Sinatra.



Clem

 

[WhiteKiboko]

i almost suggested him earlier... ignoring the 'from here to eternity' path (the one i used earlier)... this took me awhile, and i can say its a miracle i remebered one that helped out....

sinatra - shirley maclain in 'oceans eleven'
maclain - richard dreyfuss in 'postcards from the edge'
dreyfuss - robert shaw in 'jaws'
shaw in the deep
