This is a game we play once in a while on this forum, and it is about time now that we had a replay of it.
The last incarnation was here, with the rules explained as follows:
The goal of the game is this: Given 2 actors or actresses in our entertainment culture, other members here will try to link them together through work they have done. For example, if I were to give the names of Tom Hanks and Pierce Brosnan, a link could be created in 3 steps:
1. Tom Hanks was in Saving Private Ryan with Matt Damon.
2. Matt Damon was in Good Will Hunting with Minnie Driver.
3. Minnie Driver was in GoldenEye with Pierce Brosnan.
If you are able to create a link between the 2 given actors/actresses in fewer steps, go ahead and rock it.
Just for the benefit and enjoyment of playing this game, a few more rules need to be established---
1. Only stars working in their acting roles count. So links involving common directors, producers, writers, stunt drivers, etc. do not count.
2. The link can incorporate movie roles, documentaries, or TV roles. If using TV roles, the 2 actors linked via that TV show must appear in the same specific episode, not just the same general series (but do not have to have been in the same scene). Also, only their voice or physical presence needs to have appeared. So if they voiced different characters on the same animated cartoon episode, that is a valid link.
3. There is no specific number of links to try and aim for, just as few as you can. If you identify a link between 2 actors someone else names, you then get to name the next 2 for someone else to try. If either of them are obscure at all or maybe have a common name (so the exact reference is unclear), please consider linking to their IMDB profile as well. Just to be nice.
4. The movie/TV episode/whatever must have aired to the public already somewhere, sometime. So works that are just currently in development do not count.
5. No rules on what decades or eras the actors have to be from…just try your best to make it fun in some way for others to try and figure out.
To start us off here, let’s go with (edited):
Terrence Howard and Bruce Lee
Enjoy!
