-J

[Useless Trivia Man]

Well, Angela Lansbury has been in a few Disney flicks over the years (and a whole lot more). You could always check her out here and see what you can find. (That's how I do it when I'm stumped.)

[Solar]

HA HA HA! oh yeah

Angela Lansbury was in Anastasia with Christopher Lloyd
Christopher Lloyd was in Interstate 60 with Ms. Sexy Smart

WOOHOO! i HATED that one, i was buggin friends, asking around, I had to use what ya sent me cause I couldn't figure it out any other way.. it seems like cheatin ya know?

Casey Kasem to Judd Nelson

-J

[Useless Trivia Man]

S'all good! I only use it if I can't remember any movies they've been in (like Casey Kasem, for example), and even then I just search long enough to find a solid connection (well-known actor) that I can use.

That said,

Casey Kasem was in Ghost Busters with Sigourney Weaver
Weaver was in Alien with John Hurt
and Hurt was in From the Hip with Judd Nelson

(If you ain't seen that last one, I recommend it. Nelson plays an up-and-coming lawyer and John Hurt is the powerful rich guy he's defending. Good stuff from the late eighties.)
