Sorry guys, I was planning on playing more. Didn’t mean to start the game and walk away.

Got bogged down at work yesterday and today and won’t be finding time. ☹

No, first you solve an old one (Koenig to Grace Kelly) before you get to pose a new one. Without rules and structure, we are savages.

Koenig to Raymond Burr (guest star on **Ironside** )  
Burr to Grace Kelly ( **Rear Window** )

Now someone can try Bibi to Clint.

The link is Barry Corbin. Featured in **Honkytonk Man** with Clint, starred in **Northern Exposure** , which a couple of times featured Bibi.

LeVar Burton to Tom Mix.

Blech. I refuse to recognize links based on TV shows (though made-for-TV movies are fair game). The legitimate link (or at least one of them) is Fred Ward, with Besch in _Tremors_ and Eastwood in _Escape From Alcatraz_.
