Two Trilogies game

    I was reading a dvd magazine today and someone wrote in with an idea for a game; basically, you have to think up as many actors as you can who have been in two trilogies (or more, if there are any). However, the actor has to have featured in each movie of the trilogies.
    Just in case you need an example:Sylvester Stallone has been in the entire Rocky and Rambo Trilogies

    If you can't think of any, the magazine editor replied with a few:
    Antonio Banderas in Spy Kids and El Mariachi trilogies
    Clint Eastwood in Dollars and Dirty Harry trilogies
    Marc McClure in Superman and Back to the Future
    Warwick Davis in Leprechaun and Harry Potter trilogies
    Anthony Daniels in both Star Wars trilogies
    Talia Shire in Rocky and The Godfather trilogies
    Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones and Star Wars trilogies

    To be honest, after reading them I can't think of anymore at the moment.

    Hmm... Well not strictly adhering to the rules, but I have an interesting one. Bruce Spence. He was in the 3rd film of The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, The Matrix trilogy, the new Star Wars trilogy, and the Mad Max trilogy (aswell as the 2nd part).

    Definetly has to stand as being in the most Trilogies.

    Really? I haven't seen the first one, I was just going by what the editor had written. I just assumed he was, being kinda the central figure of Desperado/Once Upon A Time In Mexico.

    Unfortunately, no. They had the budget equivilent to a tin of beans for El Mariachi. I believe it was something like a mere $2,000?

    But good ol' Christopher wasn't in Episode 1, was he? My brain has done its best to block out that terrible film but I'm sure he was only in Episodes 2 and 3. And he was only in the Extended Edition of Return of the King, he wasn't in the cinema release... dunno if that's against the rules :rolleyes:
