	This is basically a variation of "The six degrees of Kevin Bacon", but there's always a different pair of actors/actresses to connect. I made it just five steps instead of six, to make it slightly tougher, because we're all knowledgeable film geeks here in the Amph. Oh yeah, and this was approved by Zaz. The rules are simple - connect two actors in five steps or less, via films or TV shows. The first person to manage it, posts a new pair of names. Okay, here's the first pair: Bill Nighy and Catherine Zeta-Jones -----signature----- "He was caught in Alicante with a sheep." "Flagrante, Chris, in flagrante." "Yeah... flagrante."

Reilly was in A Prairie Home Companion with Lindsay Lohan That one took a lot of brain racking. Tom Hanks and Paul Walker Edit: Just realized how easy that one is.

	I'll fix it. Charlie Chaplin was in A Countess from Hong Kong with Marlon Brando. Marlon Brando was in The Godfather with Al Pacino. Al Pacino was in Scent of A Woman with Chris O'Donnell. Chris O'Donnell was in The Bachelor with Renee Zellweger. Now: back to David Tennant--->John Wayne. -----signature----- Personally if treating homosexuals with respect and dignity is the definition of 'anti-Christian' then I hope that Obama is the friggin' anti-Christ. - FIDo

	I call shenanigans. Tennant is a British TV actor and Wayne was an all American film actor. My concern here is that the game will not progress because none of the actors Tennant has worked with run in the same circles as Wayne ever did. Shenanigans! Halcyon, would it possible to ask you to amend your pairing? You did a great job with my Quan/Olivier pairing, but I honestly think this one is beyond feasibility without some minute, special knowledge of Dr. Who actors. -----signature----- "Chance makes playthings of us all." -- Seneca Shameless non-Manager Emeritus sock of Vortigern99.

My concern here is that the game will not progress because none of the actors Tennant has worked with run in the same circles as Wayne ever did. Shenanigans! Err, no. That's why I explicitly stated that both films and TV shows can be used as links, just to make it trickier. And David Tennant has links to top British film actors via his role in Harry Potter. But this actually got me thinking, whether we should allow multi-film or multi-series franchises (like Harry Potter, Star Wars, Doctor Who, Indiana Jones, etc.) to be used as a single link - as opposed to what Jedi_Keiran_Halcyon did, having to use two Indy films to connect Ke Huy Quan to Sean Connery. This way, he could've just posted "Ke Huy Quan was in Indiana Jones, and so was Sean Connery". But it's up to you guys. It would certainly make links via TV shows easier. -----signature----- "He was caught in Alicante with a sheep." "Flagrante, Chris, in flagrante." "Yeah... flagrante."

	Frankly, I don't think we NEED to make it easier. If anything, I'd be cool with making it HARDER by not allowing two movies from the same franchise to be used as links. To be honest, I did feel a little cheap using two Indy movies in a row like that. -----signature----- Personally if treating homosexuals with respect and dignity is the definition of 'anti-Christian' then I hope that Obama is the friggin' anti-Christ. - FIDo

	Reynar_Tedros posted: Daniel Day-Lewis and Uwe Boll Ooh, directors now? That could also make things end up too easy (think of the steps that could be saved using Spielberg), but I'll bite. Daniel Day-Lewis was in Gandhi with Ben Kingsley. Ben Kingsley was in BloodRayne which was directed by Uwe Boll. Lucille Ball to Megan Fox (no directors). -----signature----- Personally if treating homosexuals with respect and dignity is the definition of 'anti-Christian' then I hope that Obama is the friggin' anti-Christ. - FIDo
