connecting actors

I have been fiddling with GE for a few days now and have managed to play with some basics, balls bouncing and speeding up and so on but what I really want to do is make a construction game.
What would be the easiest way to connect 2 actors together so that when they are picked up with the mouse they will all move as one object?
