Tenuous Actor Links of The Day

Just had a really random ten minutes of surfing.

Was watching Get Shorty... decided i actually really rate John Travolta as an actor.

So, got to looking up movies that John Travolta's done, and i saw that he's married to someone called Kelly Preston. I had no idea who that was, so i got on IMDB, and saw that shes been in a fair few films - only one of which i recognised. Space Camp.

Space Camp i remember watching as a kid, and remember this kid, Max, also being in Parenthood with Steve Martin.... who i remember having a really croaky voice as a kid. Didnt see this kid for years until Gladiator came out, Joaquin Phoenix.

His brother was River Phoenix, hes the one who od'd outside a club which Johnny Depp owned. Seems like River, Joaquin and Johnny were all pretty good mates, along with Keanu Reeves. River actually was a pretty good guitarist and would jam with the chilli peppers who wrote a song for River when he died. (Incidentally, the part that John Travolta plays in Get Shorty is Chili Palmer (chili / chilli))

ANYWAY, in a full circle kind of thing, this club that johnny depp owned... is the same club which features in Be Cool (Get Shorty 2), the viper room... which john travolta also stars in.

Now that truly was a totally pointless rambling, huh?
