If you know me, you know that I am a big movie fan. Whether any of you are or not, here's a little game that may get you to think: you have to connect one actor to another (as in, through movies they've been in). THEY CANNOT HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME MOVIE. This is sort of like that Kevin Bacon commercial where he connects imself to the store clerk through all those random people. Example:
Connect Russell Crowe to Sam Neill:
Russell Crowe was in "A Beautiful Mind" with Ed Harris, who was in "The Right Stuff" with Jeff Goldblum, who was in "Jurassic Park" with Sam Neill. Get it?
So, can anyone connect Patrick Stewart with Pierce Brosnan? Remember, IMDb is your friend!

Why do that when I can say that they were in "Death Train" together & be done with it? But if you insist...
Patrick Stewart & Brian Blessed in "I, Claudius" (1976) Brian Blessed & Judi Dench in "Henry V" (1989) Judi Dench & Pierce Brosnan in "Goldeneye" (1995)

In addition to Halle, Stewart's played against two more Brosnan-era Bond girls over the course of TNG's run, namely Teri Hatcher and Famke Janssen (the latter also in X-Men).
And, yes, there is "Death Train." I've never seen it over here, but I caught it on TV the last time I was in Ireland. Bizarre film.
How about extra marks for convolutedness and sticking within the genre?
Brosnan with Michael J Fox in Mars Attacks! Fox with Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future Lloyd with William Shatner in Star Trek III Shatner and Stewart in Star Trek Generations
edit: can take a step off that one... Brosnan - Portman (Mars Attacks) Portman - Neeson (SW ep 1) Neeson - Stewart (Excalibur)
OK, new pair. Marks for creativity. Kate Mulgrew and Benicio del Toro.

Hmm. I was album to make a 2-link connection from Ron Jeremy to Patrick Stewart using Trek.

So the trick is to connect two actors together in as few links as possible, unlike the class ic "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game? As most of the entries show, that's not too hard. The fun part is coming up with all the bizarre connections like you have to in the classic game, like Chris' attempt.
By the way, I can actually link myself to Kevin Bacon with six connections. 8)

Yeah, it's going to be difficult to link two of the most popular actors in the film industry.
Um ... Denzel to David Morse (St. Elsewhere) to Jodi Foster (Contact) to Scot Glenn (Silence of the Lambs) to James Earl Jones (Hunt For Red October) to Harrison Ford (Patriot Games, Clear & Present Danger, Star Wars).
Shit. You can cut out both David Morse and Jodi Foster with Denzel and Scott both in "Courage Under Fire."
Oh, and wait, Scott Glenn was in "Acopalypse Now." And guess who was in that?

What about connecting Nichelle Nichols with Linda Park?
The Oracle says: Nichelle Nichols has a Linda Park number of 3.
Nichelle Nichols was in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) with David Warner David Warner was in In the Mouth of Madness (1995) with Sam Neill Sam Neill was in Jurassic Park III (2001) with Linda Park
