Name 2 Sitcom Stars that were in a Movie Together - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

We've had a thread devoted to naming 2 sit-com or tv series stars that starred together in another series.

How about naming 2 sit-com or series' stars that also appeared together in movies (un-related to their tv series):

Andy Griffith & Don Knotts (The Andy Griffith Show) were both in No Time For Sergeants

Bob Denver & Jim Backus (Gilligan's Island) were in A Private's Affair. ( Another poster pointed this out, which inspired this thread)

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz (I Love Lucy) appeared in:

Too Many Girls (1940)
The Long, Long Trailer (1953)
Forever, Darling (1956)

Patrick Duffy and Larry Hagman

Hurricane (1974 made for TV movie)

This one has a great cast and can probably still be found at Dollar Tree

Do they have to have shared any scenes together, or at least be in the same movie?

JamesG · 01-31-2013, 10:53 PM

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (Full House) made many movies together.

* Bob Saget had a small cameo in their film New York Minute (2004).

Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd (Charlies Angels) starred in a 1973 TV movie, Satan's School For Girls.

Marion Lorne and Alice Ghostly (Bewitched) were in The Graduate

No, just be in the same movie.

Well, in that case, here's one example:

Mary Tyler Moore and Ed Asner were in Change of Habit (they never had any scenes together). It was Elvis Presley's 31st and final motion picture.

Patti Duke & Tiffani Amber Thiessen in A Killer Among Friends.

Ray Romano and Kevin James starred together in Grilled.

Barbara Eden & Larry Hagman were in a TV movie in 1971, but I forget its name. I remember it was a mystery though, and the girl who played Bess Lindstrom on THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW was also in it.

Lorreta Swit and McLean Stevenson were ina TV movie called SHIRTS/SKINS. I think they played a married couple.

JamesG · 02-01-2013, 01:19 AM

Jason Lee and Ethan Suplee appeared in Kevin Smith's 'Jay and Silent Bob' flicks and then did the show "My Name is Earl".

Torgo · 02-01-2013, 10:05 AM

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost starred in the sitcom Spaced and have appeared together in the movies: Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, Paul, and the upcoming The World's End.

Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer starred together in the sitcom As Time Goes By were both in Tomorrow Never Dies.

Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson from The Young Ones were in Guest House Paradiso together.
Adrian Edmondson and Nigel Planer both from The Young Ones were in The Supergrass together(and so were Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders who would go on to star in the comedy skit show French & Saunders)

While not a sitcom, I Spy stars Robert Culp and Bill Cosby starred together in a private eye movie called Hickey and Boggs.

I think Morey Amsterdam and Rose Marie were in a movie together called "Don't Worry, We'll Think of a Title" -- Richard Deacon was also in it, making three Dick Van Dyke Show alumni in this film.
