Terry O'Quinn was in Women of Valor that also starred Patrick Bishop!
Damn! Thought that would be harder! O'Quinn has been pretty prolific, but I just know him as the bald dude from Lost...
Oooh, I love Terry O'Quinn. Before Lost (which I still haven't seen right to the end - I hope to catch up with it one day), I knew him from Millennium, the X-Files spin-off. John Locke was my favourite character in Lost, but only the first couple of seasons were shown on free TV in the UK, then it went to cable for season 3 (I think) onwards - I've missed out on a lot of really good shows over the last few years because I can't afford cable TV :cry:

As for Patrick Stewart, don't forget that Marta DuBois was in a really awful episode of Star Trek the Next Gen - that was what I was thinking of when I suggested Patrick Stewart earlier in the thread - I forgot about the Shatner/Boston Legal connection (I'm not exactly Shatner's biggest fan!)

And as for the game, I'll join in when I can, but you guys are too clever for me! :)

I thought was going to be a long one too!

Also- yes- O'Quinn is the bald guy from Lost to me as well.
When he appears in the new Hawaii Five-0 I assume he's still lost on Oahu. It seems to be the same character.

Wow. I totally missed that. Didn't know I was recycling actors already!

Let's go for Cary Grant and Roger E. Mosley.

Wow Dan. You managed to bag another difficult one before the Yanks even had time to get out of bed! How about Kevin Bacon and Gillian Dobb?

Indeed, Styles- the advantage of being on the other side of the world and having a little bit of time to devote to such craziness. :D

Sheesh! Considering Gillian Dobb's only other role was in Gidget's Summer Reunion...

Kevin Bacon was in The Big Picture with Brad Zutaut
Brad Zutaut was in the Academy-Award nominated Gidget's Summer Reunion with Gillian Dobb

I can't believe it was so short again. :shock: Boom.

How about linking kung-fu master Bruce Lee to karate master John Hillerman?

Hiiiii-yah!

Hiiiii-yah!

My, the BOOMs abound around here lately!


Let's see . . .

Bruce Lee worked with Van Williams in the Green Hornet
Van Williams worked with Mike Connors in Mannix
John Hillerman was in three Mannix episodes

Not a BOOM, but not too bad!

Next up, if this isn't BOOM'd, connect Bruno Kirby to Jeff MacKay

connect Bruno Kirby to Jeff MacKay
Bruno Kirby was in Sleepers with Dustin Hoffman
Dustin Hoffman was in All The President's Men also with Jeff MacKay!

If no one can better that, try to connect Cate Blanchett to Larry Manetti!

There is probably a better one, but I am going to be lazy and use my previous work.

Cate Blanchett was in the Lord of the Rings trilogy with Elijah Wood.
Elijah Wood played Kevin Kline's son in The Ice Storm
Kevin Kline played Dreyfuss in The Pink Panther with Steve Martin
Steve Martin was in Three Amigos with Patrice Martinez.
Patrice Martinez was in at least two episodes of Magnum with Larry Manetti.
My essay "In Country: Place and Historical Connection in Magnum PI", about the importance of the Honolulu/Vietnam connection in the show:

Wow, this one was a tough one. The best I could come up with is the following:

1 - Cate Blanchett worked with George Clooney in The Good German
2 - George Clooney worked with James Brolin on the Hotel episode Recriminations
3 - James Brolin worked with Larry Manetti on the Hotel episode Flesh and Blood

If that connection holds up try this: connect Arnold Schwarzenegger to Eugene Roche

I say Conch gets this one based on degrees of separation and fresh connections. :magnum:

Hehe. I thought it would be a tough one... and this one was pretty exhausting to find too:

Arnold Schwarzenegger was in The Terminator with Earl Boen
Earl Boen was in Webster that starred Eugene Roche

or

Arnold Schwarzenegger was in the Red Heat with Jason Ronard & Brion James
Brion James & Jason Ronard were both in Corvette Summer with Eugene Roche (also starring Annie Potts!)

:D

Next...Link up Zachary Quinto to Mako (Tozan in The Arrow That Is Not Aimed)!
