The link the actor(ess) game

[bparker805]

The way this game works is that I will post two actor(ess) names and you people have to try to link the two through costars of various movies...

ie:

Bruce Campbell and Antonio Banderas

Bruce Campbell was in Spider-man with Kirsten Dunst
Kirsten Dunst was in Interview with a Vampire with Antonio.

After the person that finds the link posts the next two... The "links" are welcome to be more difficult and extensive.

So the first shall be:

Mira Sorvino and Robin Williams...

[garethwi]

Mira Sorvino is in The Final Cut with Robin Williams.

How about Franka Potente and Julie Walters?

[bparker805]

apparently I never saw the final cut.

So here it goes for Frank Potente and Julie Waters

Frank Potente was Bourne Identity with Matt Damon
Matt Damon was in Dogma with Alan Rickman
and Alan Rickman was in both Harry Potter movies with Julia Waters.

Next up:
