I don't know if anyone has done this before.....but Scarlett O'Hara mentioned in a thread about Patricia Neal & Richard Thomas starring in another movie as Mother & son besides "The Homecoming." (The answer is: All Quiet on the Western Front - 1979). So I thought it might be fun to see how all the people who was in an episode/episodes of The Waltons are linked together in other shows/movies/broadway plays, etc.... ;D Please feel free to post about ones you are aware of. Here are some of mine: Richard Thomas played in an episode of "Bonanza" in 1970 called, "The Weary Willies." Also the same episode starred Lee Purcell (who played Bobby Strom in The Wingwalker - 1975) & Mayf Nutter (Bobby Bigelow). Richard Thomas played in "Cactus in the Snow" in 1971 with Lucille Benson who played Tillie Shanks in The Fledgling - 1976. Richard Thomas played Joe Greene (the brother) of Gerald McRaney (Russell Greene) in the series "Promised Land." McRaney played Tim Collins in The Book - 1974. Richard Thomas played in "Roots: The Next Generation" (1979) with Lynn Hamilton (Verdie), Gerald McRaney, Hal Williams (Harley) & Madge Sinclair (Minnie Doze - The Visitor 1974). Lynn Hamilton (Verdie) & Hal Williams (Harley) played on Sanford & Son, Gunsmoke, 227, Good Times & Quincy M.E.

Michael Learned (Olivia) also starred with Gerald McRaney in "Promised Land." The episode was The Secret of Bluestem (1998) & she played Dolly Carstens.
Jon Walmsley (Jason) starred in the 2005 episode Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring of the series "7th Heaven." It was as a band member in an uncredited role. Stephen Collins played Rev. Eric Camden on this series. He played Todd Clarke in the Walton's episode The Abdication (1975).

So what are the rules to this? Does it have to be to Walton actors that play in something together?
"All the presidents men" had the woman who played Sarah Jane's mother and the movie star guy from the one where JB took over the writing of the movie that was made "on the mountain"

So what are the rules to this? Does it have to be to Walton actors that play in something together? Scarlett O'Hara.....There are two rules for this. 1) That they did do a movie/play/or an episode together in another show. Or 2) That they did an episode/episodes on another show.....example: Lynn Hamilton (Verdie), Hal Williams (Harley), Morgan Woodward (Boone Walton), Michael Learned (Olivia), Charlotte Stewart (Ruth Collier...also Miss Beadle on LHOTP) & Gerald McRaney (Tim Collins) all did "Gunsmoke" but they starred in different episodes (they did not share an episode together). But it is alot more fun when you can find a movie/episode/play that two or more of them were in together. ;D

I thought to myself "I've seen him in the Waltons" but my brain was so addled late at night when watching the film that it never registered that I had watched The System that very morning!
