Six Degrees of Magnum P.I. (Game)

[ConchRepublican]

Conch......wha's up man???


Roscoe Lee Brown was in the Magnum P.I. episode "Of Sound Mind"! (ep. 3.13)

He was one of my favorite actors. One of his best roles (IMHO) was with John Wayne in "The Cowboys". Love that movie!

I was . . . Testing you guys . . . Yeah, that's it. I, ummm . . . . Wanted to see who was paying attention. Yeah . . . That's it.

Ahem . . .

Huntz Hall was in the movie The Ratings Game with Joe Santos
Joe Santos' Lieutenant Nolan Page was a recurring character on Magnum

I believe that deserves a BOOM.

Next, let's stay in the classic era . . . Errol Flynn

[308GUY]

Errol Flynn was in "The Sea Hawk", (1940), with Gilbert Roland who was in "The Sacketts", (1979), with Tom Selleck!


Ain't IMDb great!



How about....Jean Harlow.

[Mrs. Higgins]

How about....Jean Harlow.

Jean Harlow was in Red Dust (1932) with Clark Gable.
Clark Gable was in Command Decision (1948) with Van Johnson.
Van Johnson was in Superdome (1978) with Tom Selleck!

Keeping with the classic-era theme....
Next up, Tyrone Power

[308GUY]

Tyrone Power was in "Witness for the Prosecution" (1957) with John Williams who was in an episode of "Battlestar Galactica" with Anne Lockhart who was in the first season episode (ep. 1.10) "Lest We Forget", one of my favorite episodes.

I'm sure there are probably several other paths leading to the same place, but this is the first one my investigation turned up, so I used it!


How about George Reeves?

How about George Reeves?

George Reeves starred in the Adventures of Superman and Elisha Cook Jr. guested on the episode Semi Private Eye
Elisha Cook Jr., as we all know, is Icepick.

BOOM

Next up - Johnny Weissmuller

[Mrs. Higgins]

Johnny Weissmuller appeared in Won Ton Ton: The Dog That Saved Hollywood with Keye Luke who appeared in "Forty Years From Sand Island" ep. 3.17

Next: Harold Lloyd

[308GUY]

Johnny Weismuller was in "Won Ton Ton:The Dog That Saved Hollywood" (1976) with Cyd Charisse who was in the episode of "Murder She Wrote" (Widow Weep For Me-1985) with Angela Lansbury who was in the season 7 episode of MPI "Novel Connection" as Jessica Fletcher the "star" of MSW.



Let's do.....Lauren Bacall.





* Footnote:It appears that Huntz Hall, who we did a couple posts back.... was also in the Won Ton Ton movie.

[Magnum's moustache]

Lauren Bacall was on two episodes of Rockford Files (Kendall Warren) with Joe Santos
Joe Santos played the recurring role of Lieutenant Nolan Page in Magnum.

How about Ralph Fiennes?

[308GUY]

Looks like Mrs. Higgins and I were researching/submitting responses at about the same moment...pretty close anyway!

It would appear that through the 6 degrees, it is possible to associate just about everybody who's ever been on screen with the show! That's obviously an exaggeration, but just the fact that Mrs. Higgins made her connection in one less step than mine, kind of leans in the direction of proof, at least in my mind.

But it IS fun learning about some of the old stars of Hollywood, or the new ones, and it gives some of us old farts something to do in our "spare" time.LOL

I enjoy seeing different people join in and contribute, and always get a laugh out of Conch's BOOM'S!

Haven't started the search for Harold Lloyd or Ralph Fiennes, but I'm sure with due diligence, they too will find a path to MPI!

Let the games continue!

[Mrs. Higgins]

I think Sinatra, Borgnine, Sylvia Sidney, Angela Lansbury, and Elisha Cook Jr. provide a pathway to link just about anyone from the classic era to MPI!

[MagnumsLeftShoulder]

Ralph Fiennes was in The Grand Budapest Hotel with F. Murray Abraham who was in An Innocent Man (and an episode of Blue Bloods) with Selleck.

Harold Lloyd was in The Panther's Claw with John Ince. Ince was in The Best Years of Their Lives with Harold Russell, Russell was on 2 episodes of China Beach with Dana Delaney. Dana was on two episodes of MPI!

What I'm noticing while playing this game is that every human who was alive in the late 70s and early 80s was on Fantasy Island and The Love Boat! Seriously, every name that looks vaguely familiar on imdb from those years was on those 2 shows. Those shows sucked, but apparently everybody in Hollywood wanted to be on them.

Due up: Keepin' it old school with Clark Gable.
