6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon

Evzy · Post by **Evzy** » Thu May 31, 2007 10:47 am

Anyone ever played that - someone names an actor/actress and you have to find a connection to a film with Kevin Bacon in within 6 films etc...

Thinking lets have our own version - but any actor to any actor..

No googling or IMDB - unless its to check after someone else has got it that they were right..

I would say anyone named has to be alive and done films in the last decade at least - and no Johnny Obscure people like Bob Jones who played passer-by number 7 in the background of one scene and was in the shot for 2 seconds, and then it was just the back of his head!

So I will just pick 2 random people out to start - no idea if they can be connected in 6 filums etc but sure they can...

William H Macy and Bob Hoskins.

William H Macy -> Alec Baldwin (Cellular)
Alec Baldwin -> Sean Connery (Hunt for Red October)
Sean Connery -> Michael Caine (The man who would be king)
Michael Caine -> Bob Hoskins (Mona Lisa)

but I cheated

had to imdb to remember the name of that bloody sean connery/michael caine film

Its not Cellular either for Macy n Baldwin if my memory serves me correct - Cellular is the one with the dude running around town with a mobile phone, the one you are thinking of does begin with a C though - well its THE C....

But being as you were first, will let you call the next two random people!

pm whoever teh winner is to let em know its their turn as well

Indeed - first time I saw that film I just didnt laugh - for some reason I must not have been in the mood but seen it since a couple of times and it does make me chuckle... Invisible boy cracks me up

Daniel Radcliffe to Benicio del Toro.

Should be fairly easy as I worked out a 4-person link, there's probably a shorter one

Evzy · Post by **Evzy** » Thu May 31, 2007 3:27 pm

Must admit I had to imdb Extra's to see who had been in it as I have only seen a ocuple of episodes ever ...

Daniel Radclife to Ricky Gervais (Extra's)
Ricky Gervais to Patrick Stewart (Extra's)
Patrick Stewart to Vinnie Jones (X-Men 3)
Vinnie Jones to Benico Del Toro (Snatch)

Twas Patrick Stewart I struggled iwth - wasnt 100% he had been in Extra's!

Evzy · Post by **Evzy** » Thu May 31, 2007 3:41 pm

OK .. Angelina Jolie to Jessica Alba

Shouldnt be too hard*

Right let's try something tricky

feel free to imdb for this one, and I've no idea if it's possible

Fred Astaire to Denzel Washington

Evzy · Post by **Evzy** » Thu May 31, 2007 5:47 pm

Dear god man... I had to IMDB just to find something Fred Astaire had been in !!! This one could be tricky!! Though I am on the trail now and not using IMDB after finding an actor who was still alive and making films who was in a film with Fred !!

Post by **Fingoniel** » Thu May 31, 2007 7:04 pm

woot

Evzy · Post by **Evzy** » Thu May 31, 2007 11:41 pm

Fred Astaire to Paul Newman (Towering Inferno)
Newman to Tom Cruise (Color of Money)
Tom Cruise to Brad Pitt (Interview with a Vampire)
Brad Pitt to Angelina Jolie (Mr and Mrs Smith)
Angelina Jolie to Denzel Washington (The Bone Collector)

Must admit had to IMDB Denze as well in the endl to remember some of his films - didnt check the cast listings though.

OK, next one is.....erm......

Evzy · Post by **Evzy** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 9:26 am

Whoa , must admit had to check Brandon Lee to see who he had been in a film with - remembered his films but couldnt remember who was in them with him!! Thought Dolph had been but thought it was Rapid Fire not Showdown in Little Tokyo... right actor wrong film!

Soo...

Brandon -- Dolph (Showdown in lil Tokyo)
Dolph -- Sly Stallone (Rocky 4)
Sly -- Harvey Keitel (Copland)
Keitel --George Clooney (Dusk Til Dawn)
Clooney -- Matt Damon (Oceans 11)
Damon -- Chris Rock (Dogma)

Is it me or is it hard to think of 2 totally unconnected people - once or twice I even thought of 2 names then realised they have been in a film together

Ok... lets try

Kevin Bacon to Billy Connolly....

<TMM>Borgio · Post by **<TMM>Borgio** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 9:49 am

Its hard mate, I picked Brandon Lee as the Crow was on Sky Modern the other day (great film) and I was watching some Chrtis rock on Youtube...

Hats off for doing it though!

bisquit · Post by **bisquit** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 12:31 pm

billy conolly> alan rickman (harry potter)
Alan rickman > matt damon (dogma)
matt damon > brad pitt ( oceans 11)
Brad pitt> kevin bacon (sleepers)
