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.

Thanks, w2w. Sorry to whine.
Anthony Daniels voiced C3PO in "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" series with George Takei who voiced General Lok Durd. (Who comes up with these names?) And Mr Takei played everyone's favorite "bus driver in space" Lt. and later Captain Hikaru Sulu.
Angela Lansbury

It's somewhat frustrating because the younger the actor/actress the harder it is to find a connection ..never heard of the starlet before either .
Featuring Kate Box in "The Daughter" (2015) with Geoffrey Rush .
Geoffrey Rush and Judi Dench in "Shakespeare in Love" ('98)
Judi Dench and Karl Urban in "The Chronicles of Riddick (2004).
Urban play Bones in JJAbrams reboots ..Nimoy made a cameo appearance in the first two reboots .

Angie baby was a special lady, living in a world of make-believe ... in "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." episode, "The Deadly Toys Affair," with Arnold Moss and John Hoyt;
Moss (Anton Karidian) and Hoyt (Dr Phillip Boyce) guest starred on TOS with the lads.
Wheel of whimsy says ... Karen Gillan.

Actually, I had a shorter one in mind, jx. Angela Lansbury was in "The Manchurian Candidate" with Leslie Parrish who played Lt. Carolyn Palamas in "Who Mourns For Adonais?"
Karen Gillan with Kurt Russell in "Guardians Of The Galaxy 2"
Kurt with Bill Mumy in "Lost In Space".
Bill Mumy with Walter Koenig in "Babylon 5".
Mr. Koenig played everyone's favorite Russian navigator in TOS.
Next: Ron Howard

That's not really shorter, bud, just different. All are welcome. Love "The Manchurian Candidate," which also features avuncular James Gregory ("Dagger of the Mind") as Ms Lansbury's dimwitted hubby.
Let's go with Linda Cristal, of "The High Chaparral."

Linda Cristal guest starred in an ep of "Fantasy Island" with Ricardo Mpntalban who played our beloved genetically superior megalomaniac, Khan Noonian Singh in "Space Seed" and STII:TWOK.
BTW it was called "High Chaparal" because they had lots of cacti around. Plenty of peyote.
