"Actor Linking Game"

Who can find the link between 2 famous celebrities in the shortest amount of films possible. [I]

Example:

Brad Pitt & Richard Gere

Brad Pitt - Oceans Eleven - Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts - Pretty Women - Richard Gere

= 2 Films

[I]Each day there will 2 new celebrities and the winner each day gets the points equivalent to the films they won with. So I would of got 2 points for the above connection.

Okay todays celebrities are:

GEORGE CLOONEY & ORLANDO BLOOM - Timmargh Won
SELMA HAYEK & CATHERINE ZETA JONES - Timmargh Won
JOAQUIN PHOENIX & MARLON BRANDO - pb Won
THE ROCK & JEFF GOLDBLUM - ButchML Won
SIGOURNEY WEAVER & REECE WEATHERSPOON - Nin Won
NICHOLAS HOULT & DENNIS QUAID - jubbachainsaw Won
MERYL STREEP & WARREN BEATTY - pb Won
DAN ACKROYD & KEVIN SPACEY - Timmargh Won
CHRISTIAN BALE & ALAN RICKMAN - pb Won
BOB HOSKINS & CATHERINE ZETA JONES - McLong won
KEVIN SPACEY & RUTGER HAUER - Nin Won
AUDREY HEPBURN & KEANU REEVES - jubbachainsaw Won
TIMOTHY SPALL & MATT DAMON - Timmargh Won
MORGAN FREEMAN & MARTIN FREEMAN - ButchML Won
GRACE JONES & DAVID BOWIE - Nin Won
CHUCK NORRIS & WILL SMITH - Timmargh Won
ANTHONY ANDREWS & TOM CRUISE

Timmargh - 10 points
pb - 7 points
ButchML - 2 points
Nin - 6 points
jubbachainsaw - 5 points
McLong - 2 points

I think this one is fairly easy going through Harry Potter of LotR but there were far too many actors for me to bother working it out.
I got as far as
Matt Damon - Paddy Considine - Cate Blanchette

ButchML lost so its Matt Damon & Timothy Spall

Who the hell is Amy Irving?

Grace Jones to David Bowie should be fairly easy, they're both fashionistas and i think both have been involved with Andy Warhol. I wouldnt be suprised if they were in the same film together.
Anyway

Grace Jones - Roger Moore(or was it Timothy Dalton)/Christopher Walken/The Governator

I dont think she's been in many other famous films aside from Conan and the Bond films. Bowie hasnt done many famous either

David Bowie - Jennifer Connoly(Labyrinth) and the only other film i know he was in is Basquiat, which i think involved quite a few famous people. IMDB is my friend, Christopher Walken was in Basquiat, along with many other people. I wouldnt be suprised if Grace Jones was in that film directly actually.

Bah, all that brain power and then you go and edit it

Audrey Hepburn - Always - John Goodman
John Goodman - Evan Almighty - Morgan Freeman
Morgan Freeman - Chain Reaction - Keanu Reeves

Matt Damon & Timothy Spall

Pfft easy

Audry Hepburn - Rex Harrison (My Fair Lady)
Rex Harrison - Amy Irving (Anastasia: Mystery of Anna (TV Movie))
Amy Irving - Robert De Niro (Hide & Seek)
Roberto De Niro - Al Pacino (Rightous Kill (Released this year))
Al Pacino - Keanu Reeves (Devils Advocate)

I hoped it would take a little longer than that... perhaps a few days even!

Never mind, well done Nin :(

Ok

Kevin Spacey - Annette Benning/Scott Bakula/Chris Cooper/Gabriel Byrne/Benicio Del Toro/Brad Pitt/Morgan Freeman/Guy Pearce/Russell Crowe/Helen Hunt

Rutgar Hauer - Donald Sutherland/Hilary Swank/Jessica Alba/Bruce Willis/Clive Owen/ Benici......aaaaaaaaaah there we go

Kevin Spacey - Benicio Del Toro (The Usual Suspects)
Benicio Del Toro - Rutgar Hauer (Sin City)

If i've won (and i dont see anyone beating me) my choice is

Audrey Hepburn & Keanu Reeves

I went with my favourite actress and then typed "bad actor" into Google.

Right, with a little help from Vexxxed & Butch:

Kevin Spacey & Rutger Hauer

I guess this is a tough one.

mmmmm. Tinkerbell. You got it McLong. Now give us 2 more names!
