And the Beatles may have gotten inspired by "The Wild One" for their name (beetles was a term for biker girls I believe) ... so I think that makes Marlon Brando the sixth fifth Beatle, but I'd need to check the lineage tree and my math

I'm a firm believer in the theory that Good Will Hunting was written by Kevin. Too much emotional depth for Ben and Matt to conjure up (being their first and only script together). It was most likely a thank you from Kevin to Ben for letting him stay in the house he was selling when he moved to Cali with a preggers wife to shop scripts.
