I stand corrected - my objection was based upon the reasoning given that the TV series had spawned the film and as we are not allowed to "cheat and check" and I knew that Walston had not reprised his original role I therefore had to raise the question.
but Christopher Lloyd wasn't ever in the TV series was he? So he cannot be directly linked with Ray Walston who I don't believe appeared in the film it "spawned".
Raf?
I was away, but glad you guys checked it without me. Yes, Ray Walston was in the movie. Just as a different character.
You can cheat to make sure the last entry is correct, but not to move forward. For example, in this case you could check the imdb page on Ray Walston to see if he was in the My Favorite Martian movie, but you can't check the movie on imdb because that would give you the whole cast (this is on the honor system: if you knew that Chris Lloyd was in the movie before you checked, then it's fine).
I'm not saying this is what WordWolf did. It's just a hypothetical for future reference.
Is it cheating if you own the video and go look at the box?
Doggone it, I can think of two other actors in the movie, but I can't think of what else they've appeared in, even though I know one of them has been in tons of movies.
Welllll, what if I decided to watch said movie while doing paperwork, huh huh? Somneone has to put us out of our misery. Now that wouldn't be cheating, would it???

The rule is against sequels to get TO actors that appear in both films. There's no rule against cameos to get to actors that are not in the first movie (ie, even if it were a sequel, it would be okay

I always assumed you could look up what's already been posted, to confirm it if you're in doubt. I should have done that before I opened my yap.

For a moment, I thought you meant I could link thru Bea Arthur....
I can't exactly RECITE his filmography, but I THINK the link you meant was:
Joel Grey
Remo Williams:the Adventure Begins
Kate Mulgrew
Surprises the heck out of you sometimes when you can recognize actors you didn't
years ago....
