Josh Brolin, is the # 30 most connected actor of the 2010’s.
I have always liked Josh Brolin. I guess he will be this year’s Kurt Russell. Russell had two monster hits within a few weeks in 2017. Babs’ stepson has been making movies for the last 30 years. He seems to be getting better with age.
Hey SteinHoF16…..good comparison between Kurt Russell last year and Brolin this year….Fast and Furious 8 and Guardians 2 grossed over 2 billion In worldwide box office in 2017…Brolin’s double feature might cross 3 billion. Good points and feedback.
