It's a bit tenuous, but here goes:

Get from Tom Baker to Russell Crowe in three moves, explaining how each is connected.

i.e. Tom Baker-(person a)-(person b)-(person c)-Russell Crowe

[Greg]

Tom Baker appeared in the movie Dungeons & Dragons, playing Halvarth.

Richard O'Brien also appeared in Dungeons & Dragons, playing Xilus. O'Brien is probably best known for playing Riff Raff in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Who could forget Tim Curry as Frank N Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show? Recent news has Curry cast as Dr Monroe in the forthcoming Burke and Hare.

The cast of Burke and Hare also includes David Schofield, who previously played Falco in Gladiator.

The best known star of Gladiator is Russell Crowe, playing Maximus.

So, Tom Baker Richard O'Brien Tim Curry Richard Schofield Russell Crowe.

But it may not be the chain you were looking for.

Yup, not the chain I was looking for at all. But well done in getting there nonetheless.

The first connection is with someone he has worked alongside in Doctor Who, and not all of the connections are professional.

I told you it was tenuous.

Others should feel free to have a go...

[Mister Andersen]

Tom Baker was in "Strange" with Richard Coyle who was in A Good Year with Russell Crowe

or

Tom Baker was in Dungeons & Dragons with Jeremy Irons who was in The Lion King with Frank Welker who was in Virtuosity with
Russell Crowe

[Greg]

Actually, I was tempted to say that Russell Crowe is a friend of Tom Baker's son Piers, who lives in New Zealand, and then challenge anyone to prove me wrong. As far as I know, Piers Bakes and Russell Crowe don't know each other.

But I guess I better turn my mind to a quiz question...

[Mister Andersen]

Tom Baker voiced Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War with Sean Pertwee who was in Equilibrium with Christian Bale who was in 3:10 to Yuma with Russell Crowe.

[Mister Andersen]

Tom Baker was in Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) with Derek Jacobi who was in Gladiator with Russell Crowe

[Aquaman]

Hmm, I'm thinking it was a mistake to have two 'widely travelled' actors as my goalposts for this one. It's almost as if anyone who has seen enough film could get from a to b in any number of possible ways. You've all got some great connections going on, but still not the one I am looking for. My bad.

If anyone is bothered to try and get the specific chain I had in my head, here's a clue:

I wish I was a spaceman.
