Of course Drew Barrymore, Crispin Glover and Lucy Liu were all in _Charlie’s Angels_. But I’ve used Drew, so let’s try Bill Murray as Bosley. ---

Dang, Danny Woodburn was in _Death to Smoochy_ with Edward Norton and Danny DeVito. ---

Okay, **Tdn** , you win the obfuscation award. Hopkins, Bonham-Carter and Simon Callow were all in _Howard’s End_. ---

There are a ton of possible permutations here, so I figure just starting throwing them against the wall and see what sticks. I’m online for two minutes here. There is a lot of crossover in this one, and it really wasn’t intentional. Sorry. Before I fixed it, it was John Turturro for all actors on all three levels. Yikes. Bill Murray was not in Charlie’s Angels. (Not in this puzzle, anyway.) ---

I should mention that Death to Smoochie is one of the movies. Signing off again. ---

I went to college (undergrad) with John Turturro!!! and since I was a theatre major, and was on stage with him more than once, I am 4 degrees from Kevin Bacon!!! ---

I saw Aida, his cousin(?), in an Italian market down here, drinking espresso with her “friend”. But I still think John is the best actor in that family. ---

Here’s where we stand: Danny DeVito was in Big Fish, but we already have 3 names for that movie, and only 2 for Death to Smoochie, so that’s where he goes. **Charlie’s Angels** Drew Barrymore Crispin Glover Lucy Liu and **Cameron Diaz** **Big Fish** Billy Crudup Helena Bonham Carter Jessica Lange **Death to Smoochie** Danny Woodburn Edward Norton Danny DeVito **The Wrath of Khan** (With these clues, you need a big hint!) Deforrest Kelley Leonard Nimoy William Shatner ---
