Okay, these are the rules for this one:

I post the name of a celebrity. The next person will post a name of a celebrity whose name begins with the last letter of the previous submission.

If you want, you can include links to webpages where this celebrity is featured. (especially good for obscure / local celebs, or people not everyone in the world has had a reasonable chance to hear about) You can also include a short desxcriptor of the person if you wish.

Example:

> [@](#):
>
> Poster A: Tom Cruise  
> Poster B: Evonne Googlagong  
> Poster C: Garth Snow – NHL goalie and ex-Vancouver Canuck  
> Poster D: Wendy O. Williams

And on and on it goes…

Ready? I’ll start:

**Colin Farrell**

(for the purposes of this game, a celebrity can be any famous person… but please make it a person with a moderate degree of fame at least!)

I should add that we should try not to repeat names on one page, please. (or at least within 50 replies or so) Thanks!

[IMDB](http://www.imdb.com) is good for when someone’s being evil and posting names that end in seemingly impossible letters of the alphabet, by the way. 🙂
