Six Degrees of Firefly by JohnnyReb

We have a taker!

Orson Welles narated "History of the World Part I," which had Mel Brooks, who was in "Blazing Saddles" with Gene Wilder, who was in "Frisco Kid" with Harrison Ford, who was in "Witness" with Danny Glover, who was in "Lethal Weapon" with Mel Gibson, who was in "The Patriot" with Adam Baldwin.

That's six movies. I almost didn't make it. I wasn't expecting Orson Welles.
