It’s tough not to go through Brady channels where Mr. Rist is concerned, but here’s an alternate route…

1. Robbie Rist went on to portray the mysterious Dr. Zee, a genius, child-like scientist that was born in space on Galactica 1980

2. Strangely, Galactica 1980 also starred Robert Reed (a.k.a. Mr. Brady) as a nuclear physicist.

3. Robert Reed played the Dad of Peter Brady, actor Christopher Knight

4. Christopher Knight was on The Surreal Life, Season 4 which also features Kathy Griffin driving the “celebs” around in a limo.

5. Kathy Griffin is believed to be dating Steve Wozniak

6. Steve Wozniack and Steve Jobs co-founded Apple Computer Inc.

Now that I look at him, cousin Oliver actually bears a striking resemblance to our round 5 celebrity, Ralph Wiggum. Sorry about that.
