Let's play 6 degrees of TOS
posted by Dark_SithlordSTAFFMOD on April 18, 2017 at 2:46 AM
With a nod to rudely_murray over at the Kevin Bacon thread, let's play 6 degrees of TOS! The rules: You name an actor, and the next poster has to link that actor to one of the Big 3 (Shatner, Nimoy, or Kelley) in as few moves as possible. Ideally 6 or less, hence, 6 degrees.
Example:
Player 1 names Bruce Lee.
Player 2 responds:
- Bruce Lee starred in Enter the Dragon with John Saxon.
- John Saxon starred in an episode of The Six Million Dollar Man with Lee Majors.
- Lee Majors starred with William Shatner when he guest starred in an episode of The Six Million Dollar Man.
Player 2 then names another actor to link to one of the Big 3.
Feature films or TV shows only. Try not to select names which would be too easy, like linking Shatner to Patrick Stewart is no challenge!
Okay, here goes...
First try: Marlon Brando.

Rebel Wilson with Anna Kendrick in Pitch Perfect
Anna Kendrick with Meryl Streep in Into the Woods
Meryl Streep with Christopher Walken in The Deer Hunter
Christopher Walken with Ralph Meeker in the Anderson Tapes
Raplh Meeker guest starred with Shatner in an episode of Barbary Coast.
Ok prolly took the long way but I got Meryl Streep in!

Kim Wilde ...is a hard one to crack...at least for me😟 This is all I have found up to now ...
Kim Wilde (2012) and William Shatner ( 2011)both did their own personal version of "Spirit in the Sky".

One possible path suggestion:
Kim Wilde appears as herself in this direct to DVD UK movie about the struggle of two blokes in the present music club scene. Follow from there and it will lead you to the woman who has broken Kirk's heart in the past.
