Ethan Suplee was the voice of the Golgothan in Dogma.

62

Yeah but who *played * a voice in the movie?

63

Ah. The Metatron. Very clever. :slight_smile:

Alan Rickman.

64

Who played a robot in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, female lead being Zooey Deschanel…

65
  1. He was in another comedy in which he played an actor playing a non-human - what movie?

Galaxy Quest

  1. Name the female lead in that movie.

Hanoi Jane

  1. She was in a seminal movie in which she was nearly killed by a very unconventional weapon - what movie?

Barbarella?

66

Hanoi Jane was the lead in Galaxy Quest?

Wasn’t it Sigourney Weaver?

67

I think I got to 18 without looking at the previous posts, but then I’m stuck.

  1. Sigourney Weaver
  2. Alien
  3. Ian Holm
  4. Lord of the Rings (with Ian McKellan)
  5. Cate Blanchett
  6. Ron Howard (for The Missing)?
68

My bad.

69
  1. Sigourney Weaver
  2. Alien
  3. Ian Holm
  4. Lord of the Rings (with Ian McKellan)
  5. Cate Blanchett
  6. Sam Raimi
  7. Embeth Davidtz
  8. Bridget Jones’ Diary
70

What’s funny is, Embeth Davidtz flashed on my radar earlier in the game - I was trying to skip past the whole Dogma part (because it confused me) and was coming up with Robin Williams/Bicentennial Man/Embeth Davitz that way.

71

Yay!

My turn (this is burning a hole in my notepad). If you don’t get stuck on #3, you’ll solve this in about 30 seconds.

  1. “Uncle Leo?”

  2. Who was the female lead?

  3. On what show did she ask “Is Greg here?”

3a) With whom did she say it in unison?

3b) Was Greg there? Explain.

  1. Who played the mom on that show?

  2. On what other (earlier) series was she a regular?

  3. Which was a spinoff of…

  4. Which had at least two other spinoffs. The NY one was…

  5. Who played the sister?

  6. What’s her biggest gig these days?

  7. Who plays the convenience store clerk?

  8. On what show was he a mere character, yet he was dating the female lead?

  9. Where did the leading man use to live?

  10. Who lives there now?

  11. Who is his closest neighbor?

  11. Mad About You
  12. 129 West 81st
  13. Kramer
  14. Seinfeld
73

Huh. 29 minutes. I am disappointed.

Courtney Thorne-Smith.

Since they presumably couldn’t get Barry Williams on that episode (although they got Maureen McCormick and Ann B Davis and Robert Reed), Greg was outside fixing his Bike. Ironically, the 4th Brady boy was Christopher Daniel Barnes, who went on to play Greg in The Brady Bunch Movie, which more ironically had a cameo by Barry Williams.

Too bad, that was worth 50 points.

74

Good job, guys!

Of course, only now do I actually look back at the thread title and remember it’s supposed to be about TV. Ah, well.

It was hard to choose how to connect. As has been pointed out, half of Britain was in Love Actually. Same goes for the Harry Potter movies. Gemma Jones is in Bridget Jones’s Diary, Sense & Sensibility, **and ** Harry Potter. Alan Rickman, of course, is in HP, S&S, and Love Actually. And as was pointed out, he does the voice of Marvin, in a movie with Martin Freeman, who was also in Love Actually. Geoffrey Rush, obviously, had some good double connections. Ian Holm was in *Frankenstein * with Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson’s ex, as well as *From Hell * with the red herring Johnny Depp. And of course, Embeth Davidtz was in a movie of yet another Austen novel, Mansfield Park.

Weeee, this is fun!

God, I feel old or something…
