Early in his career, Michael Keaton was one of Mr Roger's neighbors. This Is The Life is a featured song in Johnny Dangerously (starring Michael Keaton).

I don't think having movies which came out in the same year is a good enough connection. Here's a better one for Morgan Freeman:

Morgan Freeman was in "Bruce Almighty" with Jim Carrey
who was in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" with Tone Loc
who Al parodied with "Isle Thing".

And for John Corbett:

John Corbett was in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" with Ian Gomez, who made several guest appearances on the Drew Carey Show. Drew Carey appeared in the video for "It's All About The Pentiums".

Remember, SNL connections are off limits because they're too easy.

My apologies anth. :sorry:

Didn't read back that far to see the "off limits" to SNL. Let me revise then...

Dana Carvey was in Master of Disguise with Brent Spiner...
who was in Independence Day with Judd Hirch...
who was in Taxi with Christopher Lloyd...
who is in R.L. Stine's Haunted Lighthouse with Weird Al Yankovic.

It's a better connection anyway.

Maurice Bernard plays mobster Sonny Corinthos on General Hospital according to my wife. That's the only clue I will give. If necessary, ask your wife or soap opera watchin buddies for the connections.
