Gates McFadden to Jodie Foster

Too late, but George Takei was in The Green Berets with Wayne, and of course TOS with Nimoy.

William Shatner and Humphrey Bogart.

McFadden was in The Hunt for Red October with Alec Baldwin (playing Mr. and Mrs. Jack Ryan).
Baldwin and Tom Skerritt in Path to War (playing Macnamara and Westmoreland).
Skerritt and Foster in Contact (playing whoever it is they were playing - I wasn’t paying much attention).

Bogart and Gig Young (The Desperate Hours)
Young and Kareen Abdul-Jabbar (Game of Death)
Abdul-Jabbal and Robert Hays or Julie Haggarty or Lloyd Bridges or Chuck Connors or Peter Graves or Stephen Stucker (Airplane!)
Hays (or one of the others listed above) and Shatner (Airplane II: The Sequel)

Try W.C. Fields and Robin Curtis. :smiley:

Wil Wheaton and Rudolph Valentino

Cuba Gooding Jr. was also in A Few Good Men. He was one of the soldiers testifying that Kendrick ordered the men not to touch the kid who later died.

Whoops, I just linked WC Fields to himself. Please ignore!

Okay: Robin Curtis was in Ghost Story with Fred Astaire.

Fred Astaire was in The Ziegfeld Follies, featuring Lucille Ball

Lucille Ball was a guest on The Bob Hope Show

Next!

All the actors acted with Frank Gorshin in Last Battefield.

Adam West acted with my daughter in Pete and Pete
My daughter always acted up with me :smiley:

Wil Wheaton co-starred on TNG with Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi was featured in Beverly Hills Brats with Ruby Keeler

Ruby was in **42nd Street **with Bebe Daniels

Bebe Daniels starred with Valentino in Monsieur Beaucaire

Walter Koenig to Grace Kelly, without going through other Trek actors

Wow.
I was just going for Elisha Cook, Jr. who played Kirk’s attorney, Cogley also played Wilmer in The Maltest Falcon with Bogart.

Meh, I thought the point was not to use a Trek film or TV show, just whatever non-Trek credits a Trek actor might have.

Besides, once you involve TV shows, it becomes too easy. Consider how many guest stars there were on T.J. Hooker, for example. Also, Shatner was in episodes of Columbo and Twilight Zone meaning you can easily link him through Peter Falk or Rod Serling to hundreds of others. I prefer using movies.

You mean there were people on T.J. Hooker besides young Heather Locklear? I hadn’t noticed. :smiley:
