Six Degrees of _________. (Game)

1. 60

   Matt in Jaxposted 12 years ago

   I think it'd be interesting if we do a game where we play like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
   
   In case you don't know what that is, it's where you link person A to person B by using four people in between. (Ex. Kevin Bacon was in Footloose with John Lithgow who was on Dexter with Michael C. Hall who was in Gamer with Gerard Butler who was in Law Abiding Citizen with Jamie Foxx who was in Stealth with Jessica Biel. I just linked Kevin Bacon and Jessica Biel with the use of 4 other actors/actresses.)
   
   Some of these connections can be made quicker, but I'd like to see all the originality of having to use 4 steps in between.
   
   When you answer, please reference with a # which one you're responding to. If no one answers after a few days, I'll give my link

      Robert DeNiro was in "Jackie Brown" with Samuel L. Jackson who was in "Pulp Fiction" with Ving Rhames who was in "Mission Impossible 3" with Tom Cruise who was in "Collateral" with Jamie Foxx who was in "Ali" with Will Smith!
      This took me surprisingly long to make a connection with a few people in between. They actually both did voices on "Shark Tale."

      Easiest way Celeb is to go onto www.imdb.com and try to look for connection between each actor or actress. I always try to link in well-known actors who have been with many other actors to broaden my spectrum like Brad Pitt, Kevin Bacon, Tom Hanks, etc. to make it a little bit easier.

   Well my Neve Campbell to Michael Cera is a bit of a pain, so I'll make an easier one.
   Here's the last solution:
   
   Neve Campbell was in Scream 4 with Kristen Bell who was in Forgetting Sarah Marshall with Russell Brand who was in Get Him to the Greek with Jonah Hill who was in Superbad with Michael Cera
   ------------------
   
   ( And lets do as many connections as you'd like, but the more, the more challenging. )
   
   Tom Hanks to Paul Walker
