Also (I won't number, that would end things too soon)

Michael Caine
Robert Redford
Maximilian Schell
(and the aforementioned Laurence Olivier)

With all those stars, the movie should have been better

Kevin Costner never won an acting Oscar. He won as producer and director for Dances with Wolves (1990)

John Huston never won an acting Oscar either. There are lots of Oscar winning directors who have credited or uncredited acting roles in films. That's why I specify "acting Oscars." I also specified " Credited acting roles only, no uncredited."

Can we get to 13 already so we're done with the Sean Connery memorial?

Good Lord!

Seriously anybody here can name 30 actors better than him.

It's been a week already and nobody on the planet cares.

Enough with the mourning. Shit.

Silly goose, if you want to name the next game, you have to provide the 13th entry!

[–] MonStar (13560) 4 years ago

Actors and actresses who have been used in Bakers Dozen threads: 13 Oscar winning actors/actresses acted in films with:

Sean Connery, PAUL GIAMATTI, CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER, ANTHONY HOPKINS, ADAM SANDLER, MICHAEL DOUGLAS, Ashley Judd, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Drew Barrymore, Sean Penn, Emma Watson, Kristen Stewart, Liam Neeson, Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Jimmy Stewart, Robert Redford.

Some were intentionally chosen because they are considered bad actors/actresses. If you can make money, well known stars still want to get paid.
