With a nod to rudely_murray over at the Kevin Bacon thread, let's play 6 degrees of TOS! The rules: You name an actor, and the next poster has to link that actor to one of the Big 3 (Shatner, Nimoy, or Kelley) in as few moves as possible. Ideally 6 or less, hence, 6 degrees.
Example:
Player 1 names Bruce Lee.
Player 2 responds:
Player 2 then names another actor to link to one of the Big 3.
Feature films or TV shows only. Try not to select names which would be too easy, like linking Shatner to Patrick Stewart is no challenge!
Okay, here goes...
First try: Marlon Brando.

That seems to be correct. One can determine who and what NuSpock is by his hairstyle. Imagine a bad hair day.
How?

Ciao wonder2wonder,

One thing is having dishevelled hair; another thing is seeing it's a wig.
How?
I had the impression I saw Melanie Stone's name pop up a couple of times on more than one of the actors' IMDb I chose. I might have made a mistake. It took me some time to get to the end, so I didn't go back, but I just mentioned it at the bottom. I thought maybe you had found a shorter way.
Next ????????

A bad wig day or he should just wear a different wig.
Sì, certo. Going with Melanie will make it 5 degrees (maximum permitted is 6). So, I'd prefer another actor from the beginning.
Zoe Moore was in "A Heidelberg Holiday (2023)" with Eric Carter.
Eric Carter was in the episode "NYPD Blue: Keeping Abreast (S11E05, 2003)" with Dennis Franz.
Dennis Franz was in the episode "T.J. Hooker: Hardcore Connection (S1 4E04)" with William Shatner.
Next is still Mark Hamill
I'll take a look at his connections later or perhaps someone else would like to give it a try.

No, you hire another hairstylist, one who knows how to do the job. (That said, Peck looks cute with long hair)

Ciao wonder2wonder,
Yes, over the weekend we had 34 °C , it was stifling. Yesterday, it was 31 °C, but thank God at 16.00 we had a storm which helped somewhat.
In many areas though, the rain, wind, and hail cause much damage.
I don't take the heat well.

The heatwave is horrible. Though, there are people who seem to like this weather.
It is from the episode "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet (S5E03, 1963)" from the SF TV Show "The Twilight Zone (1959-1964)".
John Lithgow played the same role in a remake: "Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)".

Nice to see the younger generation appreciating an oldie from the Ricchi e Poveri.
As I said, I don't take the heat well. Even when I was young, I never liked the direct sun.
I checked all the links. I'm a big B&W fan, so I prefer Shatner's version.
The gremlin looked better in the colour version. Of course, the remake was done some 20 years later, and the special effects available were far better.
Marco Mengoni Saturday, starts his tour in Bologna. He will be singing in the main Italian cities up to the 12th of Nov and then he goes to Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Luxembourg, the UK, and Spain Dec 10th.

I don't know if they know the group, but the song is still popular. There are:
. memes on TikTok
. remixes
. it is the song of the Italian Women Volleyball team, who won the gold medal at the Paris Olympics in 2024; one of the players, Carlotta Cambi, joined others doing karaoke, singing "Sarà Perchè Ti Amo" during the Festival di Sanremo in 2023
. and it's even chanted during football matches of AC Milan.; though with changes to the lyrics
I prefer staying in the shadows when the sun is too bright.

I had no idea it was so popular. I even enjoyed the disco version.
I love Due Vite. Mengoni sung that beautiful ballad with passion.
I love him in this song too.

Yes, I remember that from

I posted about him here and here. I like "Charmed" too, and I was sad when Shannen Doherty passed away last year.
Did you know that Shannen and Julian used to date during the time that they were filming the show?

I only started watching Charmed when I accidentally saw a TV article on Julian, and I thought he was handsome. I checked the week’s episode and was hooked.
When his character died for the second time, I stopped watching.
No, I did not know Shannon and Julian were dating, I remember reading about her passing. I knew her from the series 20210.
I had a crush on Luke Perry. He too, passed away. Did you know he was buried in an eco-friendly mushroom burial suit made of organic cotton and seeded with mushroom spores?

As you can see from the video clips in my post here, Cole never really died. He left the mortal world and was in limbo, but as the grandmother, mother and others, he can return. The actor, Julian, of course, was then also in another popular series, post here, where he played one of the main characters.
Yes. It's popular in these times of 'going green', even in death.
George Chakiris was in the episode "Fantasy Island: Return to Fantasy Island (S1E02, 1978)" with Ricardo Montalban.
Ricardo Montalban was in the episode "(S)TOS: Space Seed (S1E22, 1967)" with William Shatner.
