Three Degrees of Bills

Here's a fun little puzzle.
Can you connect Bill Paxton with Bill Pullman in three moves?
Lauri found the connection, lets see if you can work it out.
We came up with this when we were watching a movie that had one them in it and Lauri asked which one it was, Paxton or Pullman. I couldn't find the connection but Lauri did.

Bill Pullman

Bill Paxton

I haven't figured it out yet but I'm thinking it must have had something to do with Independence day...is Jeff Goldbloom perhaps one of the links?? himmm...that's going to bother me all day.

jeff and i figured it out. Bill Paxton was in Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks, who was in Sleepless in Seattle with Bill Pullman!

That's excellent! I hadn't even thought of that one. That's only two moves! The one that Lauri got was Bill Paxton was in Twister with Helen Hunt who was in Castaway with Tom Hanks who was in Sleepless in Seattle with Bill Pullman.
Hanks is the Key!
WELL DONE!
...can't believe I forgot about Appollo 13.. so stupid!

okay now i feel guilty because we didn't so much "figure it out" as go to imdb and look it up because it was driving me crazy. i'm a big cheater. so don't feel bad for not thinking of apollo 13 because i wouldn't have either...

i love celebrity connect the dot games. (note kevin bacon is in apollo 13 also...i thought for sure he was the link at first...)

speaking of kevin bacon, i made jeff watch the last 20 minutes of footloose yesterday and he almost killed me. he doesn't enjoy movies with muscial dance sequences.

Jeff's version: Footloose was on the TV as I read Harry Potter. I maybe watched 30 seconds of it.
