Degrees of Separation

I feel like we had fun with this on the other forum, so I'm bringing it back.

Did not think this through at all, just pitchin' it.

Oliver Platt to George C. Scott

Bringing this back.

Oliver Platt was in Frost/Nixon with Frank Langella.
Frank Langella was in Good night and good luck. with George Clooney.
George Clooney was in Ocean's Eleven with Matt Damon.
Matt Damon was in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back with Carrie Fisher.
Carrie Fisher was in Star Wars with James Earl Jones.
James Earl Jones was in Dr. Strangelove with George C. Scott

I'm sure this can be done quicker. Sam, if you're out there...

This was a fun game. Someone throw out two names.

[Peter]

Alrighty... I didn't think about this too hard, so it might be easy, but go Madonna to David Bowie.

[Mike]

Madonna to Tom Hanks in A League of Their Own
Tom Hanks to Ian McKellen in The Da Vinci Code
Ian McKellen to Andy Serkis in Lord of the Rings
Andy Serkis to David Bowie in The Prestige

[Mike]

Bill Hader to Mark Wahlberg

[Peter]

Madonna to Tom Hanks in A League of Their Own
Tom Hanks to Ian McKellen in The Da Vinci Code
Ian McKellen to Andy Serkis in Lord of the Rings
Andy Serkis to David Bowie in The Prestige

As far as I got on that was Madonna to Tom Hanks [...] Owen Wilson or Ben Stiller to David Bowie in Zoolander. Then I just assumed that the broken ends of the chain were all in enough things that there must be some simple 1 or 2 step connection between them that I'm not thinking of. Then I gave up. This game is a lot easier if you ignore the details.
