Well, he says defensively, "Brad Kane" isn't exactly a household name. :)

As for Bob Denver, I can get to Shatner via Gilligan's Island, but I confess I can't think of any movies featuring Denver.
 
Wasn't Denver in a western? (he asked without cheating) Maybe with the Duke?

ETA: OH GOD! It just came to me: Oh God!

Scratch that, wrong Denver. lol
 
I haven't looked for a connection, but Denver has been in:

Back To The Beach (A guilty pleasure of mine.)
Did You Hear the One About the Traveling Saleslady?
The Sweet Ride
Who's Minding The Mint?
For Those Who Think Young
Take Her, She's Mine
A Private's Affair

At least one of those movies has a big name star. And yes I had to go to IMDb to find that list, I knew only Back To The Beach. Except for BttB all those movies were before Gilligan's Island. Type casting is a real bitch.
 
Bob Denver was in Back to the Beach with O.J. Simpson
O.J. Simpson was in The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad! with Ricardo Montalban
Ricardo Montalban was in Star Trek II with William Shatner
