Six Degrees of Arnold Schwarzenegger
Automatic for the People Guest Star Edition
Busy Philips makes her first appearance as “Kacy Cotton.” Busy was in Freaks and Geeks with Seth Rogen. Seth had a small part in Shrek the Third with John Cleese. John Cleese starred in A Fish Called Wanda with Jamie Lee Curtis. Jamie Lee Curtis was in True Lies with the Governator.
“Automatic for the People” brings the return of Charley Dixon’s wife, “Michelle,” as played by Sonya Walger. Sonya currently also plays “Penny” on Lost, the girlfriend of “Desmond” played by Henry Ian Cusick. Last year Henry Ian Cusick was in the film, Hitman, with Timothy Olyphant. Timothy earlier acted in Rock Star with Mark Wahlberg of “Marky Mark” fame. Some people might remember that Wahlberg was featured in 1994’s Renaissance Man with Danny Devito, who, of course starred with Arnold in both Twins and Junior.
A Christmas Story legend, Zack Ward, zaps into Terminator tonight as “Wells.” Zack had a role in last year’s Transformers, a film that also starred Megan Fox. Megan can soon be seen in How to Lose Friends and Alienate People with Kirsten Dunst. Dunst is probably best known for her role as “Claudia” in Interview with a Vampire, playing opposite, among other people, Brad Pitt. Pitt and George Clooney have worked together numerous times, most recently in this past weekend’s Burn After Reading. And as much as they’d probably like us to forget it, George Clooney and Arnold Schwarzenegger are both, in part, responsible for 1997’s Batman and Robin.
Now it’s your turn. How do you get to Arnold from Paul Schulze? Dean Norris? Debra Wilson Skelton?
Paul Schulze was in Rambo alongside Stallone. Stallone starred in The Specialist alongside Sharon Stone. Sharon Stone starred with Ah-nuld in Total Recall. Dean Norris had 1 episode in the show Millenium with Lance Henriksen who starred alongside Ah-nuld in Terminator. Got killed by a crackhead on PCP. Debra Wilson Skelton had a very small part in Gridlock’d which starred Thandie Newton. She had a part in Interview with a Vampire with Brad Pitt. He starred with Clooney in Ocean’s eleven and Clooney starred with Ah-nuld in Batman and Robin. I copied that tidbit from you guys. Without imdb.com I would’ve never pulled this off.Anyways, props for mentioning Busy Phillips in Freaks and Geeks. That, just like TSCC, is a freaking great show!
Dean Norris is in Terminator 2. Surely I am not the first to point this out.
Also, Dean Norris is in Total Recall with Arnold.
