Dan Aykroyd was the # 90 most connected actor of the 1990’s.
I don’t recall him being in Indiana Jones. Another Awesome page…he is one of the greats!
Seen: 25/56 or 47%
Fav Top 10: Ghostbusters II
UMR Snub (Too High or Too Low): Lots to choose from but definitely Coneheads is too low.
Guilty Pleasure: Again lots to choose from…Grosse Pointe Blank is great and Celtic Pride and Nothing But Trouble are good watches.
Nothing But Trouble is listed twice.
