Ricky Nelson was in Rio Lobo with Dean Martin (where they sang a brilliant version of My Rifle, My Pony and Me), and Dean was in Oceans’ 11 (and about 50 others) with Frank Sinatra. All Roads Lead to Frank.

Let’s give George Sanders a whirl.
Faith and Begorrah!

Hi Paddy,
You are correct but like me you mix up Howard Hawk's and Duke Wayne's Rio Bravo with the 2 other remakes they did of it, El Dorado and Rio Lobo.
Dean Martin was in Rio Bravo, and as you noted he rocked "My Rifle" with Nelson plus the title tune. Paddy I was in a cantina in Mexico and the house singer did "My Rifle" in Spanish. For all I know he changed the words completely, but it "sounded" better. Probably wouldn't be bad in the Old Irish, either, I believe they call it Erse?

Ray Romano co-starred in Men of a Certain Age with Scott Bakula who guest-starred in Boston Legal, which featured Rene Auberjonois (Deep Space Nine, woot! ODO!!), who guest-starred in a Murder, She Wrote episode, which starred one Angela Lansbury, who guest-starred in the Magnum P.I. crossover episode "Magnum on Ice"! :)

What do I win? I'll take the big white tiger hanging from the ceiling that has dust all over it!... What? I have to play again? :)

If you're gonna use a Boston Legal connection that's all you need. TS played Shirley's ex, Ivan. :wink:
Next up Mark Hammil
Before he was Luke Skywalker, Hammil was on an episode of Petrocelli with David Huddleston who played TM's obnoxious stepdad! Ugh..did Huddleston ever play a likeable character? Hammil probably has a bunch of other connections; we may not have seen much of him outside of Star Wars, but he's got a list of voice credits a mile long.

How about Jeff Goldblum?
