Alan Davies did the The Laurence Olivier Awards in 2003, Laurence Olivier was in Marathon Man with Dustin Hoffman who was in Hook with Robin Williams who was in Patch Adams with Alan Tudyk.

Let us try Zalman King

BTW I loved Alan Davies in Jonathan Creek, what were the ties that you had to him??

I was going for Julia Sawalha (his wife, who starred with him in Jonathon Creek) and she was also in Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth who was in Love Actually with Chiwetel Ejiofor who was the operative in Serenity.

Zalman King produced The Red Shoe Diaries which starred David Duchovny who was in The X-Files and Jewel Staite was in an episode of The X-Files when she was just little bit of a thing, way before Firefly.

Alan Ladd

Alan Ladd appeared in the General Electric Theatre, also in that cast was Jonathan Harris, who went on to star in Lost in Space, he also did an animated movie named Happily Ever After, that also starred Dom Deluise, the father of Peter Deluise who appeared on VIP along with Jeff Rickets who was one of the two hands of blue in Firefly.

If anyone can get this the same as I got it, I will retire to my couch and watch the masters of 6 degrees from afar.

Lets try Run DMC. (all of the members)

Mine was much more simple. Alan Ladd was the father-in law of Cheryl Ladd who was in Two Guys and a Girl with Nathan Fillion.

Run DMC did "Walk This Way" with Aerosmith who did the theme song for Armageddon, which starred Billy Bob Thornton who was in Love Actually with Chiwetel Ejiofor, The Operative. I spent my afternoon nap figuring this one out.

Roseanne Barr

Tuesday, December 19, 2006 11:47 AM

My Run DMC was much more involved of course, but you got much closer than I expected anyone to get. Run DMC did Walk this Way with Steven Tyler and Areosmith, his daughter Liv Tyler was in LOTR with Hugo Weaving, who was in The Matrix with Laurence Fishbourne, whose wife is Gina Torres of Firefly.

Roseanne Barr was in She-Devil with Ed Begley Jr. who just did a stint of Veronica Mars, where one Joss Whedon took a turn in front of the cameras and he is loosely attached to Firefly somehow.

Try this one. OJ Simpson.

I know, I know, no one wants him associated with anything having to do with Firefly, but, it just came to me.

Tuesday, December 19, 2006 11:56 AM

It did throw me for a bit. My Roseanne was much simpler too, Glenn Quinn played her son in law Mark and he was in Angel a few seasons before Gina Torres. I am boring.

Ok, OJ Simpson. All roads lead to The Operative with me it seems. OJ was in The Cassandra Crossing with Richard Harris who was in Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone with Alan Rickman who was in Love Actually with the aforementioned Operative. I'm sorry for over-using, but EVERYONE was in that movie.

My OJ Simpson connection was, once again very involved.
OJ was in "Roots" with
Richard Roundtree who did episodes of the series "Roc"
Who had a character named Bert who was played by Michael Fairman who was Adelai Niska on Firefly.

How about James Arness

Sorry, it isn't my turn to give a name.

Wednesday, December 20, 2006 3:50 AM

But I forgot to leave one so we'll use yours. This wasn't easy (for me)and I had to call in reinforcements but here's what I came up with. James Arness was in How The West Was Won with Kathryn Holcomb, who was in Simon and Simon. M.C. Gainey was in Simon and Simon and also in Lost with Matthew Fox who starred in Party of Five with Sean Maher who was in Firefly. Are we the only people playing anymore?

Peter Sellers

NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | TOP | HOME

Wednesday, December 20, 2006 4:27 AM

Peter Sellers was in "Dr. Strangelove" with Slim Pickins who was in "1941" with Dan Akroyd who was in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" 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 was kinda long, but who can resist referencing "Temple of Doom" AND "Dr. Strangelove"? (Dan Akroyd was Mr. Webber. The guy with an English accent who escorted Indy to a plane "filled with live poultry." FYI)

Harry Dean Stanton

Harry Dean Stanton was in The Godfather with Andy Garcia who was in Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead with Treat Williams who is in Heartland with Morena Baccarin who was in Firefly. There was a shorter connection but I refuse to use Love Actually again.

Michael Ironside

Michael Ironside was in "Starship Troopers" which lent its space marine costumes to Alliance soldiers in "The Train Job." (Is there any truth to this, or is this just a rumor because the costumes look VERY similar?)

But if you are looking for a more human connection...Michael Ironside was in "Starship Troopers" with Denise Richards who was in "Wild Things" with Kevin Bacon who was in "Flatliners" with Julia Roberts who was in "Hook" with Robin Williams who was in "Patch Adams" with Alan Tudyk.
