Let's play Six Degrees of Brad Dourif
0Brad Dourif didn’t play Buffalo Bill, the “it puts the lotion” killer in Silence of the Lambs, but it seems like he totally could have. Instead, Ted Levine did.
Your task, should you choose to play this silly game, is build a bridge of actors and films between Dourif and Levine.
Start here, at the wikipedia filmography page for Dourif: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Dourif#Filmography
Now try to think of films he was in, the actors in those films, and from there find your way to Ted Levine.
For example:
Brad Dourif starred in Wise Blood with Harry Dean Stanton
Harry Dean Stanton starred in The Green Mile with Tom Hanks…
etc…
etc…
until you find your way to Ted Levine.
How many hops will it take you to get there?

Nobody?! C’mon, it’s fun!
Maybe a small nudge in the right direction might help. Here’s my Step One:
Dourif - acted with Willem Dafoe in Mississippi Burning
Willem Dafoe - acted with Harvey Keitel in The Last Temptation of Christ….
Brad Dourif with Bruce Willis in “Color of Night”
Bruce Willis with Liv Tyler in “Armageddon”
Liv Tyler with Ty Burrel in “The Incredible Hulk (2008)”
Ty Burrel with Ted Levine in “Evolution”
@zhicks1987 hooray! Thanks for playing. You did it in fewer hops than me.
@UncleVinny My having watched RedLetterMedia’s re:view of Color of Night really helped me out here.
@UncleVinny And thanks for the game!
