Willem dafoe was in "Everything or Nothing (James Bond)"
with John Cleese who has been seen with TBT somewhere....
How about a real challenge:
Dorothy Stratten
PS: Gil Gerard played Buck Rogers in the series & movie of the same name. I'm showing my age and lack of taste...

Ben Mendelsohn (mmmm...) was in "Cosi" as was the hilarious Barry Otto...
...who did "Oscar and Lucinda" with Tom Wilkinson...
...who did "Chain of Fools" with Jeff Goldblum...
...who was in "The Tall Guy" with Rowan Atkinson...
...who performed in "The Secret Policeman's Other Ball" as did TBT.
Try Willem Dafoe!
I myself brought him in last week - drunk and disorderly. But when I sobered up, he'd gone. Sorry. (P.C. BENT) |

I have no idea who Gil Gerard is, so I used the IMDB for this...
Gil Gerard provided additional voices in Fish Police which stared...
Tim Curry who was in Valiant with...
John Cleese...you know the rest.
BTW I have a shorter one for Bert Newton. Bill Oddie was on the Bert Newton Show in 1989. I have it on video. Bill's on the show with some basketballers and there are some jokes about how short he is in comparison to them.
Up next...Ben Mendelsohn. |

OK, here goes.
Bert Newton was in "Fatty Finn" with Rebecca Riggs
who was in "Farscape" with Wayne Pygram
who was in "Star Wars: Episode III" with Yoda (voiced by Frank Oz)
who did many voices for Muppets on "The Muppet Show"
which had John Cleese as a guest
Who worked with TBT on a few things...
Next: Gil Gerard

In a roundabout sort of way:
Claudia Karvan played a character with an unpronouncable name in a film called Passion with Linda Cropper. Linda (god bless IMDB) was also in Spit McPhee (a truly zz-inducing film based on an even worse book, which most Aussies would have been forced to watch/read in English at high school) as was Ray Meagher. Meagher guested in Mother and Son with Gary McDonald, and Gazza interviewed TBT.
No doubt there's a quicker way though.... but if there isn't:
Bert Newton! |

Hooray!  Good feeling, isn't it?
While we're on Australian actors, let's give Claudia Karvan a go.

Yay! I've finally got one. I love IMDB
Gary Sweet was in Fever (1988) with Bill Hunter, who was in Strictly Ballroom with Tara Morice, who was in Moulin Rouge (as a prostitute in one of the opening shots) with Ewan McGregor (which leads into Hollycat's link again) who was in Star Wars Episode II with Christopher Lee who was in the mini-series Around The World in 80 days with Eric Idle who may just have worked with Tim Brooke-Taylor on the odd occasion |

Paris Hilton was tough. Gawd bless the IMDB, which I also thank for this one:
Groucho Marx presented an award at the 22nd Annual Tony Awards at which Angela Landsbury was the co-host...
Angela Landsbury was in the Mirror Crack'd with...
Charles Gray who was in London with TBT
I need a lie down.
Up next: Gary Sweet (the Aussie 90s heart-throb) |
