Why this connection works
The surprise comes from following documented work rather than guessing friendship. These studio cast lists support a film-credit route. They do not establish that every pair met, shared a scene, or has a personal relationship.
What the evidence establishes
A shared cast credit connects two actors through a particular movie. It does not establish friendship, a personal relationship, or a scene together. Movie years distinguish these titles from remakes and other versions.
These routes use the films and candidates selected for this puzzle. They are not a complete filmography or a claim about the shortest route across every movie.
