Uncle Duke,

You got me scratching my head. Who was John Laroquette in Twilight Zone. I'm running through all of the scenes in my head, and I don't remember him being in it at all. You sure you don't mean John Lithgow (of 3rd Rock From the Sun recent fame)??? If so, your 6 degrees don't work!

He was one of the Klansmen in the opening (Vic Morrow) segment.

I could have gone with Dan Akroyd (2 roles as the hitch-hiker at the begining and the ambulance driver at the end) , but I figured that path had already been traveled.

We can use Lithgow if you prefer, he was in Buckaroo Banzai with Christopher Lloyd who was in Back To The Future 2 with Joe Flarrehty (sp?) who was in Follow that Bird with Kermit.
Or we can Use William Shallert, (from the middle episode about the demonic kid), he was in Matinee with John Goodman who was in Blues Brothers 2000 with Frank Oz who was in The Muppet Movie with Kemit.
Or Albert Brooks (the Driver at the begining) who was in The Muse with Andie McDowell and she was in Muppets from Space with Kermit.
So there were many paths to take, I was just trying to use the most entertaining one.


BTW, Laroquette was also the voice-over for the opening narration of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre!!!
God I am glad to be able to put that Film History degree to good use at long last!

Now somebody do Mike Nelson (from MST3k... and yes, it was a movie)

Assuming I can use This Island Earth, here it goes:

Mike Nelson was in MST3K: The Movie with Jeff Morrow
Jeff Morrow was in The Robe with Richard Burton
Richard Burton was in Cleopatra with Liz Taylor
Liz Taylor was in The Flintstones with John Goodman
John Goodman was in Monsters Inc. with Frank Oz
Frank Oz shares seven film credits with Kermit the Frog

Ummm, how about HR Pufnstuf. Can we do him? Again, there was a movie . . .

That was a fun one (and tough). Who wants to do Billy Barty?

Now, wasn't that easy? Here's a stumper...how about Jonathan Haze, who frequently appeared in Roger Corman's films in the 60s?
