Okay:

Ron Moody
Ewan MacGregor
Gary Oldman

Something to do with Eastenders? Ron appeared in it, Gary's sister is on it, Ewan accidentally catches the first few minutes once or twice a week after the One Show.

Is it to do with bikes?  Ewan did the Wrong Way Round etc,  Ron Moody rode a bike to work each day during the making of Oliver and Gary Oldman used to go out with Wynona Ryder.

Or is it folks who have turned down Doctor Who roles?  I know Ron Moody was asked and turned down the main role. I seem to remember talk of Gary Oldman playing the Master or such.  Ewan is bound to have been approached at some stage.

frankus

none of those...

tell me when you want a clue - I've several

frankus

Okay - clue #1 Tom Hanks should not be on the list.

None of them saved Bubba?

holnrew

People who weren't in Forrest Gump?

Fretwired

They all played Iago in Othello on the stage .. probably not what you're looking for .. :-)

frankus

I'd have chucked Lenny Henry in if I was going for that..

I fear it might be too obscure so another clue...

You can add Statler to the list

Fretwired

Muppets show ..... ;-)

frankus

No I omitted Waldorrf on purpose

ICBM

None of them have ever appeared on screen with a moustache.

frankus

I'll give a last clue tonight... the person in common might be a ghost or a spook

Fretwired

Marley's ghost? Christmas Carol?

frankus

you're definitely getting warmer - that is one example of a ghost

randomhandclaps

They've all groped Demi Moore?

HAL9000

Ewan McGregor starred in Ghost

Ron Moody appeared in A Ghost In Monte Carlo 

 Gary Olman played Marley's Ghost

ICBM

But actually Waldorf does appear as *Robert* Marley's ghost in Muppet Christmas Carol… Statler is Jacob Marley.

(I did have to look up the name of the other brother, I admit!)

It's supposed to be Bob Marley [no woman no cry] .... there's no brother in Charles Dickens book.
