  1. Scott Glenn, good actor, good choice. I was a fan back in the 80s after seeing him in films like Silverado, The Challenge and as the first American in space Alan Shepard in The Right Stuff, a top favorite of mine.

    I’ve seen 18 of the 50 films on the chart. Favorites include – The Right Stuff, Silverado, The Challenge, Training Day, Silence of the Lambs, Backdraft, The Hunt for Red October, Courage Under Fire, The Bourne Ultimatum and Apocalypse Now.

    Looking at the charts – Silence of the Lambs is top rated and Apocalypse Now his biggest film hit, no arguements there.

    Good work Bruce. Vote Up!

  2. Disappointed at low connections for actors like Constance Bennett. Well then, welcome to friendly, happy Scott Glenn. Mr. Glenn is # 155 on the 2020 Oracle of Bacon Top 1000. These are the other actors on the list he has appeared with.
