I was going to use the original Toxic Avenger (Mitch Cohen) as the next challenge and stipulate that you cannot use Toxic Avenger films, but he was also in Clerks. I couldn't believe it.

So... Happy birthday Jerry Orbach.

I find it funny that you scroll through Anders Hove's filmography and see a bunch of foreign stuff and some indie pieces and then find "Cagney & Lacey: The Return." Not likely to be one of his crowning moments, I'm sure.

Anders Hove (Subspecies) Michelle McBride (The Masque of the Red Death) Frank Stallone (Hudson Hawk) Bruce Willis (Die Hard with a Vengeance/Pulp Fiction) SLJ

Any chance to use Hudson Hawk.

The Tall Man himself... Angus Scrimm.

If Comic Book had been a theatrical release, I could've cut out a step by linking Winters right to Hamill. C'est la vie.

Hey ric, you could have skipped a step and gone from Terry-Thomas to Peter Ustinov in Disney's Robin Hood, then straight to Frank Oz in the Great Muppet Caper.

Malini Fonseka (Bambaru Avith) Joe Abeywickrama (Chandar, the Black Leopard of Ceylon) Ben Wright (The Little Mermaid) Mark Hamill [yes, he's in there].

But, that's no fun when I can use...

Melody Anderson (also from Flash), but without using Flash Gordon as one of the steps.

I'll tackle the first and leave the second up as the next challenge...

So the challenge is Dick Warlock (II)

Does it count if he was a stuntman in a movie, or does he have to be an actor?

Stuntman
Dick Warlock (Spider-Man) -> Willem Dafoe (xXx: State of the Union) -> Samuel L. Jackson.

Actor
Dick Warlock (The Abyss) -> Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (The Perfect Storm) -> George Clooney (Ocean's Eleven) -> Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting) -> Ben Affleck (Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) -> Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill


Okay, this won't be all that hard, but he was cool: Burgess Meredith.

R. Lee Ermey (Avalanche) -> Thomas Ian Griffith (xXx) -> Samuel L. Jackson.

I was going to try and find a way to do it through Toy Soldiers, because that's a cool movie. But I did it this way because it was really short. Anyway, how about Don Knotts?
