Now... Kevin Spacey. (There's several ways to go with this one. Can you tell I'm a movie diva?)

Yes I can. I'm a bit of one myself. Now...

Kevin Spacey was in The Usual Suspects with Gabriel Byrne
who was in Ghost Ship with Ron Eldard.

Now find Bob Hope (I'm just curious about this one).

That's good! Actually the easiest one I was thinking of was:

Kevin Spacey was in "Swimming with Sharks" with
--Frank Whaley, who was in "When Trumpets Fade" with
Ron Eldard.

[doobrah]

Bob Hope hosted "Operation Entertainment" during Vietnam, which featured
--Tina Turner, who was in "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" with
--Mel Gibson, who was (almost unrecognizable) in "The Singing Detective" with
--Saul Rubinek, who was in BJ with
Ron Eldard.

Now -- Bob Denver (Gilligan).

[shmeep]

Bob Denver! You're killing me, Doobrah!

Okay...

Bob Denver was in Take Her, She's Mine with Sandra Dee
-who was in an episode of Frasier with John Mahoney
--who was in Fathers and Sons with Ron Eldard

I must confess, that one almost did me in. I had to peek over at IMDB to get it.

Now try Matthew Broderick

[anna]

Matthew Broderick was in The Road to Wellville with
Colm Meaney(sp?) who was in Mystery Alaska with
Ron Eldard


Katherine Hepburn

[shmeep]

Ah, my favorite actress of all time!

Katherine Hepburn was in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner with
-Sidney Poitier, who was in Sneakers with
--Ben Kingsley, who was in House of Sand and Fog with
---Ron Eldard


Now find Denzel Washington.

I will never be able to do this with Ron, so I'll do it with Eric just so I can play (and 'cause Shmeep took Eric with Ron!)

So...Eric and Denzel both starred in an episode of St. Elsewhere back in 1983, called "All About Eve"

Thanks IMDB!

Now do--Sam Elliott (my mom's fave). (or of course Denzel with RE, I forgot about that)

(And, since I can't stop, and I'm sure I won't be in this thread again)--SE and ES were in Mask together.

Apologies for this hijacking, but I really wanted to play.

[inuvik]

OK, here is Denzel Washington:

DW was in The Bone Collector with Michael Rooker,
MR was in Bastard out of Carolina with RE

Now that that's done and we are no longer hijacked :

Do: Sam Elliott

[doobrah]

Sam Elliott was in "The Big Lebowski" with
-- Julianne Moore, who was in "Freedomland" with
Ron Eldard.

Hmmmm.. now try Paul Reiser.

Sam Elliott was in Tombstone with
Val Kilmer, who was in Heat with
Al Pacino, who was in Scent of a Woman with
Ron Eldard

OR

Oops -- simultaneous posts!

After Paul Reiser, try Jack Nicholson.

[doobrah]

--Sean Penn, who guest starred on "Friends" with
--Courtney Cox, who was in "The Runner" with
Ron Eldard.
