    First, I don't understand why my thread was locked. After all, my rules (and the place were I put it - games as opposed to general discussion - were quite different from what MayDay posted. I still think it should get its own thread. But I don't make the rules here, so I will abide with them.

    This said, I'm three steps removed from Sean Connery. Here goes :

    - I went to school (the last two years of high school) with french actor Jacques Penot.
    - He played the part of young Martin Gray in "Au Nom de Tous les Miens" ("For Those I Loved") with Michael York
    - Who played one of the suspects in "Murder In The Orient Express" with Sean Connery

    BTW, Michael York played with Barbara Carrera in "The Island of Dr. Moreau" So that makes one Bond and one Bond Girl.

    FYEO is connected to Columbo

    Carole Bouquet played in That Strange Object of Desire directed by Luis Bunuel.
    Bunuel worked with Salvador Dali.
    Dali was inspired by poet Federico Garcia Lorca
    Garcia Lorca wrote Buster Keaton goes for a Stroll (1928)
    Michael John Douglas took the stage name Michael Keaton in honor of Buster Keaton.
    Buster Keaton had a role in It s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, which also features Peter Falk (Columbo).

    That can be done more quickly going via Roger Moore in AVTAK with Willoughby Gray, who starred in The Princess Bride with Peter Falk.

    Tarzan can be linked to Bond :

    Tarzan met Sherlock Holmes in PJ Farmer's "The Adventure of the Peerless Peer"

    Holmes met the Doctor in "All-Consuming Fire"

    The Doctor met Ian Fleming in one of the IDW comic books :

    And Ian Fleming of course met James Bond himself (and was instrumental in his career) in John Pearson's biography :

    Hmm not sure if I get but here we go... Richard Kiel in his later life had Richard Kiel Ministeries. He was a recovering alcoholic when he landed the TSWLM gig. He spoke at a church close to where I live. I attended the service but didn't meet him.

    3. who starred in Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels along with Jason Statham...

    4. Statham co-stared in The Expendables with Sylvester Stallone...

    5. Stallone stared in Demolition Man alongside actor Grand L. Bush...

    You can make a quicker leap...Fletcher starred in Layer Cake with Daniel Craig.
