Six Degrees of (Kevin Bacon)

[Mattrick]

I'm sure most of you know this game. However I've always played that you simply name two actors and you must link them together through six movies and Kevin Bacon is not required. It's on of my favourite games and I'll start us off. If you can do it in less than six you get bonus points. Points do not actually exist.

For those that don't, here is an example.


Marlon Brando - John Tavolta

Was in Godfather with Al Pacino
Who was in Goodfellas with Joe Pesci
Who was in Home Alone with Daniel Stern
Who was in Very Bad Things with Christian Slater
Who was in Broken Arrow with John Travolta

Only five but whatever you get the idea.




Kevin Spacey

to

Martin Lawrence

[Ricky]

Does each person name an actor and pass it on? Or do you do it all in one post (if possible)?

[Mattrick]

All in one post and whoever gets it does the next one.

[Merlin1958]

OK, I'm an idiot. What does Brando and Travolta have to do with Pacino? Are you saying that Brando links to DeNiro that links to Pesci? This 2 actor thing throws me off and I'm familiar with the game.

[alkanto]

How he is doing it is starting with the first actor - in this case, Marlon Brando - and linking him to the first person in the list. Here, Marlon Brando was in Godfather with Al Pacino. It goes down the list from there. The second name in the pairing is the last person to whom the link must be made.

Kevin Spacey
Se7en w/ Morgan Freeman
Shawshank Redemption w/ Tim Robbins
Nothing to Lose w/ Martin Lawrence


John Cleese

to

James Franco

Yeah ok, So then why "2"? To make it easier? Oh and Pacino was in "Godfather 2" which had Deniro and DeNiro was in Goodfellas.

[Mattrick]

Wow path totally undercut my awesome connection. Forgot the Se7en/Freeman connection there. But my connection did end with Shawshank/Nothing to Lose.


The game is usually played with pick an actor and if you should be able to link them to Kevin Bacon in six movies or less. Problem with that game is that some Kevin Bacon movies (Mystic River, Sleepers) have casts of big names and it becomes a little too easy. This changes it up. Oh and try not to use IMDB guys...lets play this honest :D

[OchrisO]

I'd be way too tempted to use The Oracle of Bacon if I played this.

Apparently, Mattrick had a plan of his own when he posted "Kevin Spacey to Martin Lawrence" but me, I didn't even think about it -- just assumed that, yes, any fairly established actor could be connected in 6 to a random big name. Nice moves.

[Mattrick]

I think of it first to make sure there is a connection or that it's not too hard but there are always options you don't think of. Mine was:

Kevin Spacey/Denis Leary - The Ref
Denis Leary/Bob Gunton - Demolition Man
Bob Gunton/Tim Robbins - Shawshank
Tim Robbins/Martin Lawrence.

You just found a shorter short cut haha.
