right, well Hound of the Baskervilles is set in Devon, which is where Mac is apparently off too...

or for a better answer:
1) Jeremy Brett was in Moll Flanders with Robin Wright Penn
2) Robin Wright Penn was in The Princess Bride with Mel Smith
3) Mel Smith was in Hustle with Marc Warren
4) Marc Warren was in Dr Who, as was Simon Pegg
5) Simon Pegg was in Spaced with Mark Heap
6) Mark heap is in Green Wing - just in case you didn't know Wink

Ok Woody Harrelson was in Anger Management with Jack Nicholson,
JN was in one flew over the cuckoos nest,
Spaced (starring Mark Heap) did a fab homage to this film in series 2,
Mark Heap played Dr Alan Statham in GW

Try Rick Moranis

Ok, Rick Moranis was in the (frankly, dreadful) Splitting Heirs with the (frankly, dreadful) Katherine Zeta Jones who was in the (also not particularly good) America's Sweethearts with Julia Roberts, who was in Notting Hill with (frankly, fabulous) JRT


Frank Sinatra

Ok, this is a completely cr*p answer but:

Rolf Harris painted a portrait of the Queen
My Dad has seen both Rolf Harris and JRT in real life...

(I did warn you!)

Ok, just a suggestion - feel free to ignore it - but I'd be interested in knowing if and how anyone on here can link themselves to Green Wing (has to be proper meetings with people - eg I can't use the fact my dad saw JRT coz he (stupidly!!) didn't speak to him). I can do it...but only just (six links):

My cousin and uncle performed on stage with Kate Winslet who was in Finding Neverland with Johnny Depp (leading to)- Jack Davenport - Michelle Gomez (as you know).

The next person to do it in four links or under can think up the next name.

Lol - my dad is a professor of computer science (who just happens to see really famous people - he also saw Sally Philips at an airport!), and my uncle and cousin are in theatre group that Kate Winslet went to before she became famous. My uncle's some sort of designer (after selling conservatories for a while!) and my cousin is unemployed. Yeah, I can see that my family's not as glamorous as I made it out to be...

Kylie was in Moulin Rouge with Ewan Macgregor, who was in Big Fish with Billy Crudup, who was in Stage Beauty with Hugh Bonneville, who was in both the Rotter's Club, and Notting Hill with JRT.

Pink

(the singer - I'm not just randomly shouting out colours...Smile)

Actually I've just realised David Attenborough was a daft one for me to put as Mac did an impression of him as Guy was preparing to pull his mum!
Thanks neonfrisbee for ignoring the obvious and leaving me some dignity!
