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.

Steve Reeves was hard; well done, bud. The way I did it was Sylva Koscina, who went on to make a number of films with notable actors, including Rock Hudson, who starred with Jimmy Doohan in "Pretty Maids all in a Row."
George Reeves?

Good find. You may want to note, however, that the two characters never interacted in the movie.
Adding the proviso that the two appear in at least one scene together would add an extra bit of challenge to the game.
But that proviso does not exist, so carry on.

Does it count if there was a go-between like the director or producer of the movie who would have to interact with both actors?
