He was in one episode as a 'security guard'.
He's also listed as being in 'Tripping Over'... a new series, on Ch 5 I think.

Still waiting for Arthur Scargill!!

Roit,

Anthony Hopkins was in Meet Joe Black with Brad Pitt, who was in Oceans Eleven with Julia Roberts, who was in Notting Hill with JRT


Arthur Scargill - this one is really stretching it! Arthur Scargill was an important figure in the Miners' Strike, which was a key theme in the film Billy Elliot, which featured one Stephen Managan


Soooo,

Paul Daniels

Janis Joplin performed on soundtrack of Romance & Cigarettes which starred Kate Winslet, she voiced a character in Flushed Away, in which Bill Nighy also voiced a character. Nighy was in Hot Fuzz alongside Bill Bailey, who was in Black Books with Tamsin Greig!

Yes you did it right! Start with random person; end with a GW connection of some sort; then suggest another random person.

Maggie Smith was in Harry Potter.
David Tennant was in one of the Harry Potter films.
He also plays the Doctor in Doctor Who,
which Tamsin Grieg also played a small part in.
And as we all know she plays Caroline.

I'm quite proud of that! Big Grin I hope I got it right!

I didn't know that! Who was he meant to be? I would have enjoyed that film far more if he'd been in it. Shame Peter O'Toole didn't get best actor though. Keanu Reeves on the other hand should be shot for crimes against acting.

KR was in Constantine with Rachel Weiss who was in About a Boy with Hugh Grant who was in Notting Hill with JRT
