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:
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.

Okay.
Most of the classic stars are just one or two degrees from Shatner. Let's try Yvette Mimieux.

This one is hard. I am sure there is a shorter route, but I am sticking with movies I have actually seen.
Groucho Marx?
(Edit. I just remembered a very short path involving Groucho. I'm sure others can do the same.) (Edit 2. &$#*!!! I just noticed that I am supposed to link to Shatner, Nimoy, or Kelley. I guess that means we need one more step. If a judge declares this post to be invalid, I would completely understand.)
