Six Degrees of Separation Game

The Game Room
1

I was thinking of the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon type game.

Here are the rules:

  1. Take any two actors and provide the links between them. Must include the movie/TV show name.
  2. To make it more difficult, no internet searches allowed and you must have exactly six degrees.
  3. The person who gives a correct answer gets to post the next query.

For Example

Steven Segal to Kevin Bacon

Steven Segal - Hard to Kill
Kelly LeBrock - Weird Science
Anthony Michael Hall - The Breakfast Club
Emilio Esteves - The Outsiders
Matt Dillon - Wild Things
Kevin Bacon
Does anyone want to play?

If so
James Gandolfini to Kurt Russell.

It’s so easy to do it in two:

  1. Gandolfini & Julia Roberts in “The Mexican”
  2. Julia & Kevin Bacon in “Flatliners”

Or Gandolfini & Brad Pitt in “The Mexican,” then Pitt & Bacon in “Sleepers.”

But if we have to do it in 6…

  1. Gandolfini & Gene Hackman in “The Mexican”
  2. Hackman & Roy Scheider in “The French Connection”
  3. Scheider & Richard Dreyfuss in “Jaws”
  4. Dreyfuss & Danny DeVito in “Tin Men”
  5. DeVito & Jack Nicholson in “Hoffa”
  6. Nicholson & Kevin Bacon in “A Few Good Men”

Oops, rewind:

  1. Gandolfini & Julia Roberts in “The Mexican”
  2. Julia Roberts & Kevin Bacon in “Flatliners”
  3. Kevin Bacon & Tom Cruise in “A Few Good Men”
  4. Tom Cruise & Elisabeth Shue in “Cocktail”
  5. Elisabeth Shue & Val Kilmer in “The Saint”
  6. Val Kilmer & Kurt Russell in “Tombstone”
4

You get to supply the next pair.

BE1: Kevin Bacon to Cathy Lee Crosby, in three
BE2: Kevin Bacon to Robin Williams, in two, with similar titles
BE3: Kevin Bacon to Michael Landon in four, without using television appearances, which I think is cheating.
Okay, none of them are exactly six degrees, but no matter.

6

Okay, my suggestion:

Bela Lugosi to Rodney Dangerfield
