the next actor is Yul Brynner!!!

Okay. ..

Yul Brynner was in The Magic Christian with
1. John Cleese who was in Sorcerer's Stonewith

Ian hart is our dear professor Quirill with our dear harry potter

Micheal Caine - Batman Begins - Gary Oldman - Harry Potter - Dan!

That's the first one with Sirius in the chain! I would have thought he'd be in here long before now!

Try...

Noel Appleby

Another name picked out from a random IMDb search.

Uh-oh, you're dealing with a huge LOTR fan here!

Noel was the cute little hobbit in
1. Fellowship of the Ring who shouts "Proudfeet!" at Bilbo at his birthday party. Also in that was Ian McKellan, who was in
2. David Copperfield with Dan.

Oh, and Bethany, For that one with Pierce Brosnan? He was also in The Tailor of Panama with Dan. He played a totally reprehensible person--kinda rare for him! lol

OK, next actor:

Hmm...

Ricky Gervais - He's that one who was in Extras with Dan.

P.S. passerby, isn't it meant to be your turn on the Citations thread... Just wondering. That game is good but it hasn't moved on for a while.

Ricky Gervais was in for your consideration with rachel harris

drew barrymore was in Charlies angels with demi moore
demi moore was in ghost with Woopi goldberg
woopi goldberg was in Sister act with Maggie smith
maggie smith our proffessor Mcgonagall

that was a hard one the next actor is diane keaton, im not good at picking the actors just linking them

I think I can shorten up the Ricky Gervais, since that one was seven degrees from Dan.

Ricky Gervais was a voice in the animated film

1. Valiant with John Cleese, who was in
2. HP's 1 & 2.

Diane Keaton...I have to try this without IMDb...lol

Like Janet I seem to keep ending up going through one actor! lol

How about...

James Dean?

Ricky Gervaise was a voice in Valiant with
1. John Cleese who was in HP with
2. DAN


And since Darcy said she's already completed Diane, I'll leave her to it.

Oh, she already did Gervaise as well. . .MUST READ!!!

But just to be thorough. . .

Diane Keaton was in First Wives Club with
Maggie Smith who was in HP 1-6. . .with

I don't even have to cheat at IMDb for this one!

OK, Pete Postlethwaite was in--

Michael J Fox

really? Steve Martin was in Love actually? Are you sure? Which character did he play? Because I really love that film and I don't remember him.

He wasn't in Love Actually. In the whole list of credits on IMDB he wasn't among them. And doing a search of him singularly brought up nothing as well, so I think you've got something wrong in your answer lozza-cm.

Nope, I know Love Actually inside out, and he's not there.

About Michael J Fox...

1. He did the voice of Stuart Little in Stuart Little with Hugh Laurie
2. Who was in Sense and Sensibility with Alan Rickman
3. Who was in Prisoner of Azkaban with Dan!

(I've given up... Alan will always be there.)

1. Matthew Modine who was in Any Given Sunday with
2. Dennis Quaid who was in Dragonheart with
3. David Thewlis who was in HP PoA with

Okay, next actor is. . .

2. Who was in Speed with Sandra Bullock
3. Who was in The Divine Secret of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood with Maggie Smith
4. Who was in Philosopher's Stone with Dan!

Am I good at getting stuck in a rut, or what!?

Hmm... try Samuel L. Jackson

Edit: Ooh, Brendon Gleeson was in Country of my Skull too! That would have been 2 degrees! Weird... Oh, and he did one of the best Afrikaans-English accents I've ever seen. He's just moved up a notch in my esteem.

Okay, next one: Ingrid Bergman

Ingrid Bergman was in Murder on the Orient Express with
1. Sean Connery who was in Dragonheart with
2. David Thewlis (man am I stuck in a rut) who was in PoA with
