This is Round Forty Two of the Neverending Movie Chain. Feel free to jump in anywhere you want, post once or post as often as you want just don't reply to yourself.

For any new folks joining in <and new folks are definitely encouraged to do so> ...

We start by naming a movie, the next player to jump in has to name an actor in that film and the next to follow him/her has to name a different movie that actor was in.

EX:

Player one: Star Wars, Player Two: Mark Hamill, Player Three: Corvette Summer, Player Four: Annie Potts, Player Five: Ghostbusters, etc., etc.

Repeats are allowed but discouraged and there has to be a distance of at least five steps before you use a movie or an an actor a second time. No IMDb please <expect to look up dates of movies with identical titles or spellings of names>. grin

You need to follow the chain as it is drawn, no jumping. If we have Stephen Moyer on the table and someone plays Prince Valiant then the Prince Valiant you have to go out of is the one that had Stephen Moyer in it, no matter how many other movies out there are named Prince Valiant.

A clarification on play. We want to avoid using archival footage. For purposes of our game Dick Clark, Bob Hope, President Kennedy etc. Did not appear in Forrest Gump.

I won't make this a rule but rather a recommendation. Please avoid films that have not been released/aired in the U.S.

And just for the sake of putting it into the written rules mostly for sake of newcomers voice work (animated films) and made-for-TV movies are allowed but not mini-series.

Oh, and the idea is not to stump everyone but to keep the chain going for as long as possible.

***

Given the round number, I've got no other choice:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005)

Alan Rickman

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!

Helena Bonham Carter

Fight Club

Brad Pitt!

Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Leo DiCaprio

The Great Gatsby 2013

Tobey Maguire, right?

Yes, he also played in Tropic Thunder

So did Ben Stiller

He was also in Zoolander

So was Owen Wilson

Who was in Shanghai Noon with...

With Lucy Liu. Cutie.

She was in Charlies Angels Full Throttle

Drew Barrymore was one of the Angels

She's also in Blended

I don't remember anyone else in that predictable and boring movie other than Adam Sandler, who was so much better in ...

Just Go With It

Yes Blended was boring, not one of my favorite movies of his (of which there are three not including the Hotel Transylvania series)

Well, he was better in that, but still not among his best performances. He and Jenifer Aniston were a natural pair though.

She also had some better movies, like...

We're the Millers!

Jason Sudeikis

Angry Birds

I've seen it, but I am crap remember voices in cartoon movies...

In general, true, but I tend to know the Disneyverse of voice actors and some of their crossovers.

I'm getting the feeling that other people don't have the same favorite voice actor that I do.

Never even considered watching the Angry Birds films, though I hear they're not as bad as you'd expect.

I have a vague recollection of one of the voice cast though, so since no-one else has gone for it I am.

Was Jonah Hill in it?

Alas, of the 45 credited voices, no Jonah Hill. Nice try.

I was figuring someone would know Josh Gad (a.k.a. Olaf and Lefou in Disney, Steve Wozniak in Jobs, the main dog character in one of those dog movies, etc.). Or maybe Sean Penn or Peter Dinklage.

Unless it's Disney, I usually don't remember voice actors (and I have a better chance at classic Disney)

Nem, you can start chain 43. If I start it I'll just use Movie 43 again.
