You're gonna pay for that one, Ric.

Magda Gabor

And, no, "The People vs Zsa Zsa Gabor" does not count as it never received a theatrical release.

Oh no not another obscure foreign actor challenge...

Magda Gabor (Mai lányok) Margit Dajka (Völegény) Gábor Agárdi (A Dunai hajós) Gábor Koncz (Music Box) Jessica Lange (Big Fish) Ewan McGregor.

Notice how I used THREE "Gabors" along the way . there are so many Gabors... Maybe they are like the Baldwins of Hungary.

OK, next, my favorite "Gabor": Gábor Duck!

Okay, if I'm allowed to use IMDb:

Ildikó Miklós (Boldog lovak) -> András Szöke (An American Rhapsody) -> Scarlett Johansson (The Island) -> Ewan McGregor

Try doing this without using IMDb, because it should be easy: Sean Patrick Flanery.

Sean Patrick Flanery (Suicide Kings) Henry Thomas (Legends of the Fall) Brad Pitt (The Devil's Own) Harrison Ford.

No IMDb and, yes, it was easy. I know people have been using Harrison Ford in ET but since it's not listed in IMDb officially as even a deleted scene (and IMDb does list deleted footage appearances), I'm not going to use it. You guys still can if you want, I prefer not to.

Spencer Tracy

Hey, that's a good one. I was thinking you would go:

Sean Patrick Flanery (Suicide Kings) -> Henry Thomas (Gangs of New York) -> Liam Neeson.

But yours is better because Harrison Ford is cooler than Liam Neeson.

I was debating using Olivera, too. C'est la vie.

It would be easy as hell using Bewitched (MO - Bewitched - Will Ferrell - J&SBSB - Hamill/Fisher), but that doesn't come out for a couple more weeks, so...

Mina Olivera (Got Papers?) Nicholas Guilak (Double Deception) Udo Kier (Barb Wire) Temuera Morrison --> Jango Fett/Clonetroopers/Boba Fett's new voice in ESB/you name it

From the homepage a couple days ago... Shannon Lucio.

An easy one: Rod Steiger

Impressive... Most impressive.

As for Anson Williams:
Anson Williams (I Married a Centerfold) -> Timothy Daly (Basic) -> Samuel L. Jackson

Matthew Lillard. I can do this one in three, but there probably is a shorter way.

No IMDb... Matthew Lillard (Scream) Liev Schreiber (Sum of All Fears) Ben Affleck (Jay & Silent Bob) Hamill/Fisher

To go shorter, you can use Drew Barrymore in Scream, but, as I said, I don't subscribe to the Harrison Ford in ET thing. Find me a deleted scene or some recognized reference, and I'll change my tune. 'Til then.

Victor Mohica

The way I always do Matthew Lillard is

Matthew Lillard (Hackers) -> Johnny Lee Miller (Trainspotting) -> Ewan McGregor.

Anyway. As for Brittany Paige...

Brittany Paige (Yard Sale) -> David Lipper (The Pacifier) -> Vin Diesel (Saving Private Ryan) -> Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting) -> Ben Affleck (Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) -> Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher
