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.

Let's skip her for now and enter another name:
