Ron Howard (D) and Clint Howard (A) Ron usually tries to find a role for his brother in all his movies (including that Star Wars one he directed), usually cameo roles, but still. 10 degrees of death. The actor/actress in the next item kills/is killed by the actor/actress in the previous item Chris Tucker… 1. Is killed by Samuel L. Jackson in _Jackie Brown_ Kind of like six degrees of Kevin Bacon, but the link is an actor killing another actor in a film. Don’t how this one will go … if we can create a chain of 10 people. Try to avoid repeats if possible. If you have to , use a repeat of a film before repeating an actor. ---
