IMDb can do this (with crew as well as cast), and find if there is a film that has any two people you search for https://www.imdb.com/search/common/

Overlap check Dark Winds and Reservation Dogs

Are any of IMDB's results actors?

The one match IMDB shows between inception and Howard the Duck is a musician and he's not shown by this tool, so it could be that this tool only shows actors

Yeah, I use IMDb all the time for this, not sure why a separate app/website was necessary to do this.

It works on the mobile site. Just use Chrome on your phone and bookmark it.

IMDB does it with all noteworthy crew and not just actors, though? So I guess if you wanted an explicit actor search method then this works.

Awesome, thanks! I wasn't aware of this, but it's something that would have helped when you're to figure out someone's name.

But IMDB sucks and their site intentionally loads slow so you click their ads.

IMDb is very useful. why do you think it sucks? I've never noticed it loading slowly. what do you think is a better alternative?

OklahomaHoss t1_itqwymx wrote

IMDb is the only relevant site that does what it does. Rotten Tomatoes and other suck balls.

Just don't compare any two movies that stars Adam Sandler or the site will crash.

I just tried it with Punch-Drunk Love and Uncut Gems and it returned 0 matches. Perhaps Sandler just breaks it

EDIT - seems like it just didn't search properly. It found one match on the third attempt

Who was the match? I can't get it to work for me.

So I hardly ever get to mention this, but early HBO and Law and Order have an inordinate amount of overlap.

Look up Oz and Law and Order SVU.

230 overlapping credits (per IMDB).

It's massive.

As I've heard it they had an agreement to share cast...

Holy crap I knew there was a lot of overlap between Grey's Anatomy and Gilmore Girls but was not expecting 46 actors!

Although I'm starting to doubt it's accuracy. I tried Grey's and One Tree Hill. Turned up 0. Peyton and Haley were both in Grey's...

It failed for me. Glengarry Glen Ross and The Usual Suspects had zero overlap, despite Spacey’s name appearing on the poster image that the site pulls up.

Game of Thrones and peep show. Zero matches.

Well that saddens me and surprises me. Would have expected a bit part in an episode of both that nobody remembers.

Yup! works!

The movie, or the show?

jemenake t1_itnwfj5 wrote

My bet is that, if you stick to movies (so you don’t have a monster list of actors from all of the episodes), Wes Anderson will give you the highest overlap between any two that he has done.

Shows made in Toronto have so many actors in common, which makes sense. The Expanse vs Killjoys is an example.

Does anyone know of a music program that will do this too?

Say I want to listen to the members of the Eagles. I want a music player to play music from not only the band The Eagles, but also solo stuff from Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh... like that. Even be able to set it for 2 degrees of separation and get other bands that the members might be in, like Joe Walsh was in The James Gang, Barnstorm and Ringo Starr & His All-Star Band.

It seems possible to do this.

That would be good, something like Pete Frame's Rock Family Trees posters, -

reb678 t1_itnnap8 wrote

Possibly. That site was down for maintenance. But the poster in front of the guy in that picture looks like it.

Spotify says "If you like this band, you should try some of these" and they play songs they think are similar to what you picked. I would like to have those suggestions the other bands these guys have been in, not based on a common sound.

hdulgs t1_itmql49 wrote

Nice work. Great site. If you're looking to make any additions, I'd really like to see a database where you can input two (or more) actors and see what movies they are in together.

Didn't work for me. Compare Nightmare on Elm Street and Enter the Dragon (John Saxon).

And I tried Oceans Eleven and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (Brad Pitt).

Both returned zero results.

There might be a bug there.

I’ve tried Casino Royale (2006) and Knifes Out (2019) and it displayed 0 actors in common. It should have appeared Daniel Craig, at least.

10 points to anyone who can find someone who has appeared in all three. Stargate, star wars, star trek.. This can be any series or film as long as its the real person (no animation / voiceover or video games) I want to see their face!

Great effort. I'm hoping I can find someone that's been in all three but as an actor. I've found one or two that have done animated series of like yours a game.. but not yet one that's appeared even if its just a small part in all!
