3 actors. Find the common director.

The rules are simple. Name 3 actors who have worked with the same director and we try to guess which director it is. The only rule is that none of the actors in your clue can be in the same movie by the same director. For example: you can't say Leonardo Di Capario and Kate Winslet if your director is James Cameron as they were both in "Titanic".

I shall begin:

Samuel L. Jackson
Laura Dern
Reese Witherspoon

SO THIS IS THE "GO TO IMDB AND RESEARCH" GAME?

[–] samoanjoes (58626) 5 years ago

Not if you like fun and are able to guess it with your own film knowledge. Once you get the connection of two actors, the third becomes a little more obvious.

Even with IMDB it could turn out to be really tricky.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (58626) 5 years ago

Yeah, you would still have to know who directed the movies unless you clicked on every movie individually an dremember which one appeared on each actor's page.

Hmm, it seems the game got a little off track, so I'll try to continue it ...

Ellen Barkin
Billy Crudup
Kristen Stewart

[–] samoanjoes (58626) 5 years ago

Another tricky one.

I connected Billy Crudup in "Sleepers" and Kristen Stewart in "What Just Happened" to Barry Levinson. I had to check out which Barry Levinson movie Ellen Barkin was in. Once I saw that she was in "Diner", bingo. I never saw Diner so it was a little tougher.

You are correct.
