Samuel L. Jackson connects to Zac Efron through Taron Egerton and Hugh Jackman: Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015), Eddie the Eagle (2016), and The Greatest Showman (2017).
The verified route
Samuel L. Jackson → Taron Egerton → Hugh Jackman → Zac Efron
Samuel L. Jackson and Taron Egerton are both listed in the cast of Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015).
Taron Egerton and Hugh Jackman are both listed in the cast of Eddie the Eagle (2016).
Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron are both listed in the cast of The Greatest Showman (2017).
Why this connection works
Each pair of neighbouring actors must share a listed film, and each film is used once. That rule keeps a route from circling inside a single large cast. Three shared films make three person connections, represented by six cast facts.
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.
