Finally!!!! And a much better connection than mine. I had:

Della Reese was on Touched By an Angel with Michael Nouri
Michael Nouri was on House with Hugh Laurie

I didn't realize how tough this one would be!

I cheated a little bit - I only knew Stuart Margolin from The Rockford Files so looked him up on imdb - but as soon as I saw the Tracey Ullman connection I knew there just had to be a British comedy link, as TU and Hugh Laurie both started out in comedy shows in Britain. Being a Brit worked in my favour on this one! :D

Michael Nouri is also linked through Bellisario - he played Ziva's Dad on NCIS!

OK, my turn? This is totally random and I haven't researched it, but:

Following the Brit-made-good-in-Hollywood theme, and because he was in a film I was watching last night..... Damien Lewis....

And because I've just had the TV on while doing housework and Thunder Over the Plains was on, with a young Elisha Cook in it (who knew he had such lovely blue eyes?)....

Damien Lewis to Elisha Cook

There may not be a link, in which case I apologize for wasting everyone's time, but if you can link them, kudos to you! :D

Louise, you do have a link!!!

Damien Hirst was in Dreamcatcher with Jason Lee
Jason Lee was in Mallrats with Shannen Doherty
Shannen Doherty was in the MPI episode A Sense of Debt with the gang
Elisha Cook was in several episodes of MPI with the gang.

(My tentative BOOM until someone invariably gets it in two)

I found another connection . . . . But it's still a 4.

Damian Lewis was in Band of Brothers with Colin Hanks
Colin Hanks was in That Thing You Do with Peter Scolari
Peter Scolari was in the Newhart episode Desperately Desiring Susan with Jean Bruce Scott
Jean Bruce Scott was in the Magnum episode Resolutions with Elisha Cook Jr.

Doc holds the BOOM.

Have we done Harrison Ford to anyone in the show yet?

If not, Harrison Ford to Roger Mosley.

Hi Conch,
Kirk Douglas was in Young Man With a Horn with Lauren Bacall
Lauren Bacall co-starred with David Wayne in How to Marry a Millionaire
David Wayne and John Hillerman were in the fondly remembered series Ellery Queen

NEXT UP: The biggest tv star in Australian history, Skippy the Bush Kangaroo.
Whomever gets this right wins a lifetime supply of Vegimite sandwiches and a autographed copy of "So You Want To Be A Detective" by Luther Gillis
