Is there any website whereby someone can choose at random the names of two (or more) actors and find out if they starred in the same movie together?

IMDB? Isn’t there a function at the bottom of each actors page that says actor and blank?

Yep pick any actor. I picked [Clint Eastwood](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000142/) for no real reason. Scroll to the bottom of the page and it says “Clint Eastwood & \_\_\_\_\_\_\_” Should work with anyone.

Yep this is what you’re looking for.

If not direct link exists then it shows you the shortest link using some other person.

Variation of the Kevin Bacon seperation thingamagig.

I like using [Deja Scene](http://www.dejascene.com) it let’s me search by two actors, one actor or a movie.

For IMDb, if you don’tw ant to start with the page of a specific actor you can go tot he “Common” search page.

> **[IMDb: Collaborations Search - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/search/common/)**
>
> IMDb Collaborations Search Page

From there you can do two types of “In Common” searches.

The first is two enter two titles and find out anybody who worked on both of them. (Example: the 308 people who did [work on both 30 Rock and Law & Order](http://www.imdb.com/search/name?roles=tt0496424,tt0098844))

The second is what you asked for, provide two names and find everything they’ve done together.
