"Common Bonds" Answers

This must have been a difficult puzzle. No winners this week. Here's the answer grid, and the list of theme entries:

Meryl Streep
Russell Crowe
Leonardo DiCaprio
Kevin Costner
Richard Gere

What was the "Common Bond"? All of them are top-earning actors who have never made a movie sequel.

My apologies to Denzel Washington, Alec Baldwin, Ben Affleck and Jamie Foxx, who didn't fit the grid; also to Mark Wahlberg, who won't be on the list much longer, thanks to "Ted 2" and "Transformers 4."

Stanley Tucci and Woody Harrelson are both in the "Hunger Games" sequel "Catching Fire," which is scheduled for release in November.
