Anyone wanna play a little game?

It works in exactly the same way as the classic 'Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon' game - but with Firefly.

So I'll give you the name of a celebrity, and you have to connect that celebrity to Firefly in six steps or less. Whoever makes the connection can name the next celebrity!

So the first celebrity is....

Heath Ledger

(This should be an easy one)!

Book: “A duel?”
Wash: “With swords?”
Simon: “The Captain's a good fighter, he must know how to handle a sword?”
Zoe: “I think he knows which end to hold.”

Heath Ledger was in A Knight's Tale with Alan Tudyk, which brings us to Firefly

Here's one that is moderately harder...

Christopher Lloyd

Viva Firefly!

Sean Young was in "Dr. Jeckyl and Ms. Hyde" with Harvey Feirstein.

Feirstein was in "Independence Day" with Adam Baldwin.

Firefly.

Let's try, oh, say... John C. Reilly. I bet that'll be easy as he's done a lot of work.

Geoffrey Rush was in Quills with Joaquin Phoenix. But about the Marquis de Sade, yes.

Martin Mull was in Clue with Christopher Lloyd. We've already seen how he goes to Jewel Staite.

Martin Mull played a recurring character on "Roseanne", for which Joss Whedon was a staff writer.

Come to think of it, Tom Hanks was the voice of Woody in Toy Story, which was co-written by Joss Whedon.

Kilmer to Chris O'Donnell (Batman Forever- don't blame the messenger)
- O'Donnell to Drew Barrymore (Mad Love)
- Barrymore to Steve Buscemi (Wedding Singer)
- Buscemi to Jennifer Beals (13 Moons)-
- Beals to Adam Baldwin (My Bodyguard).

And with that, I think maybe we should retire the Buscemi-Baldwin avenue as it's getting a bit well- traveled (I say as I do it myself).

Okay, I think we ought to narrow down the rules here a little. It should be Culttvgirl's call, ulitmately, but I propose the following:

No other TV shows besides Firefly (because EVERYBODY has hosted SNL at one time or another, linking the entire universe. Hell, I think I hosted back in '86, but it may have been Alec Baldwin. I forget),

No behind the camera people, like Joss (just actors), and

Just the regular Firefly cast, no guest stars or recurring characters (We got nine principal actors to work with... Plenty!)

What does everyone think?

And I'm working on Arnold.

Saywha?? ( I can't recall the Chinese spelling for what Mal told Saffron when she first said they were married, or else I'd use it).

I think the movie you were looking for was "As Good as it gets" for Nicholson-Hunt.

Unless I'm missing something here.
