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.

Did you read the plot of "Comanche Bianco " It's kind of similar to "Enemy Within" Twin brothers .. One good and one bad both played by William Shatner .
I hope the link works...

It's a choice between being split after conception in the womb or while beaming up in the transporter. It makes you wonder: Kirk was split because of a transporter malfunction, so are twins caused by a womb malfunction.
Do you mean Joseph Cotton or Joseph Cotten from "Citizen Kane"?

Christina Applegate was in a movie called Street with Kay Lenz ( ok, she was also in Mars Attacks with everbody else! But I took a different route)
Kay Lenz was in Breezy with our very own Harcourt Fenton Mudd, Roger C. Carmel who annoyed the whole trinity.

I grew up watching Huntz Hall (and Leo Gorcey) on Bowery Boys/ East Side Comedy; memories, memories. An oddball way to get there:
I know, not a movie, but I couldn't resist.
The nostalgia continues with ...

I think this thread is exciting ..I'm getting to know of many interesting films I never even heard of despite I have always loved older films and black and whites
I found this on Richard Basehart.
"The Andersonville Trial " starring William Shatner and Richard Basehart..it's based on true facts concerning the atrocities which occurred in a prison camp during the American Civil War.
Harry Townes also starred in it.."the Return of the Archons"
I hope the link works....

Carl Switzer also has a great scene in "It's a Wonderful Life," as a boorish chap telling Donna Reed how he lost a race. (De Kelley guest-starred on an episode of "The Donna Reed Show.")
