Six Degrees of Whomever - VGF

**Sean P Kelly** · 05-24-2006, 12:39 PM

You've probably heard of "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon," which itself is based on "Six Degrees of Separation"

I decided to take that concept an make a little forum game out of it. I'll pick two actors from the top of my head and you try to link them within six degrees.

The links can only be through co-stars, so no trying to link through directors, producers, composers, etc (I want this to be challenging).

So here's the first one:

This week's big movie is X-Men 3. Let's see you try to link star Hugh Jackman with fellow Australian (raised) actor Mel Gibson.

The first correct answer gets 2 points, while a second (different) answer will get 1 point.

Hugh Jackman worked with Patrick Stewart in the X-men films. Patrick Stewart was in Conspiracy theories with Mel Gibson.

**Sean P Kelly** · 05-24-2006, 04:49 PM

Yeah, that checks out.

How about Steve Carrell and Robin Williams?

**Booyakasha** · 05-24-2006, 06:14 PM

Robin Williams was in 'The Birdcage' with Gene Hackman.
Gene Hackman was in 'The Royal Tenenbaums' with Ben Stiller.
Ben Stiller was in 'Anchorman' with Steve Carell.

Second different answer will get one point? Let me try.

Robin Williams with Hilary Swank in Insomnia
Hilary Swank with Morgan Freeman in Million Dollar Baby
Morgan Freeman with Steve Carrell in Bruce Almighty.

**Sean P Kelly** · 05-25-2006, 09:01 AM

OK.

Let's see if they are linked in a way other than their highly publicized relationship: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

***CaptHayfever*** · 05-25-2006, 10:48 AM

Cruise was in War of the Worlds with Morgan Freeman.
Freeman was in Batman Begins with Holmes.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Falco53 · 05-25-2006, 10:52 AM

Tom Cruise was with Ken Watanabe in The Last Samurai. Ken Watanabe was in Batman begins with Katie Holmes.

Uhhhhh.....Johnny Depp and Owen Wilson (that's a random combo don't you think)

Koga · 05-25-2006, 12:09 PM

It is indeed. I love most of the work of the first, and I can't stand the second.

Johnny Depp with Cheech Marin in Once Upon A time in Mexico
Cheech Marin with Steve Buscemi in Desperado
Steve Buscemi with Owen Wilson in Armageddon

Falco53 · 05-25-2006, 02:36 PM

Dang. Late again.

Johnny Depp was in Pirates of the Carribean with Geoffrey Rush. Mr. Rush was in Mystery Men with Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller was in Meet the Parents (among other films) with Owen Wilson.

**Sean P Kelly** · 06-02-2006, 11:46 AM

Sorry for the delay, that early rush overwhelmed me.

Let's try Vince Vaughn and.....Nicolas Cage

Falco53 · 06-02-2006, 11:30 PM

Koga · 06-03-2006, 08:07 AM
