Six Degrees of...

[Raf]

Ok, karmicdebt inspired this one.

The way it works is, you name two actors. The next person links the two actors in six films or less, then provides the names of the next two actors. Choose carefully: don't want to pick two actors who've appeared in the same movie. :)

If you'd like, you can add a "par" score, which is the number of lines it would take you to make the connection.

Example:

William Shatner/Kevin Bacon [4]

Shatner was in Star Trek 7 with Malcolm McDowell

McDowell was in Time After Time with Mary Steenburgen

Steenburgen was in I Am Sam with Sean Penn

Penn was in Mystic River with Kevin Bacon.

Next:

Sean Connery/Hayden Christensen [4]

Forgot to add: you MAY use imdb and other Web sites. It won't be considered cheating.

This was harder than heck! Here goes...

Sean Connery was in A Good Man in Africa with John Lithgow. John Lithgow was in Princess Cariboo with Keven Kline. Kevin Kline was in Life as a House with Hayden Christenson.

I'll be back with my names...

Richard Gere/Robin Williams [3]

[Raf]

Wow. You did that one in three! Well done!

Richard Gere was in Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts was in Hook with Robin Williams

Connect

Jack Lemmon/Deborah Kerr [4]

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Jack Lemmon was with Shirley MacLaine in "The Apartment."

Shirley was with Peter Sellers in "Being There."

Peter was with Deborah Kerr in "Casino Royale."

I don't even know if this can be done, but see if you can connect William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy without using ANY Star Trek movies or shows.

George

[karmicdebt]

Both were in The First Men on the Moon

[karmicdebt]

I'm am such a party pooper...

For real though... Leonard Nimoy was in Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Donald Sutherland. Donald Sutherland was in A Time to Kill with Sandra Bullock. Sandra Bullock was in Miss Congeniality with William Shatner.

Try this:

Macaulay Culkin/ Mia Farrow [5]

[Raf]

But that was an all Trek cast.

Try this on:

William Shatner was in Miss Congeniality with Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock was in While You Were Sleeping with Bill Pullman

Bill Pullman was in Independence Day with Jeff Goldblum

Jeff Goldblum was in Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Leonard Nimoy.

:)

deleted... go with Karmicdebt's:

Mia Farrow/Macauley Culkin [5]

Edited December 21, 2005 by Raf

[karmicdebt]

I just corrected mine as well...We were so close!

[Raf]

Farrow to Culkin is a tough one. Trying...

[Raf]

Culkin was in The Pagemaster with Ed Begley Jr.

Begley was in Renaissance Man with Danny Devito

Devito was in Mars Attacks with Sarah Jessica Parker

Parker was in Miami Rhapsody with Mia Farrow.

Whew.

Another tough one:

Matt Damon/John Wayne

[Raf]

It can be done in 4.

[Pirate1974]

Or 3

Matt Damon was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks was in "Turner and Hooch" with John McIntire

John McIntire was in "Rooster Cogburn" with John Wayne

I played this for months on the IMDB boards until people started pulling out actors who had appeared in one movie in 1919. Then it got to be too much like work.

Try this:

Marilyn Monroe/Nicholas Cage

[Raf]

Cool. I went Damon to Don Cheadle (Ocean's 11); Cheadle to Warren Beatty (Bulworth); Beatty to Hepburn (Love Affair) and Hepburn to Rooster Cogburn. :)

Hmm, Monroe and Cage... Hmmm....

What's the par?

Actually, that should be kinda easy. If I get it, I'll let you know my score. But I want to let others play.

[karmicdebt]

Actually, it was about par two if you went used Hide and Seek. I came back to make it harder. Now Orson Wells and Madonna...

interesting

[Raf]

When were Brando and DeNiro together? Godfather doesn't count because they were in different movies.

Oh well.

Brooks was in Spaceballs with Bill Pullman

Pullman was in A League of Their Own with Madonna
