Okay, this is just like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Connect the one actor to someone from Firefly... anyone, in six 'degrees' or less. I'll start with an obvious one: Kevin Bacon.

Kevin Bacon was in Mystic River with Laurence Fishburne
Laurence Fishburne was in Matrix Reloaded with
Gina Torres! (plus he's married to her)

That was kind of a cop out, but you get the point.

Here's one for you to do:
Johnny Depp (in honor of "PotC" this week)


Goodnight, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Only actors, or do major crew/production staff count as well?

I'm thinking just actors. Keep it simple.

Eh, I guess as a last ditch effort, we could use other Joss shows, using him as a connection.

Goodnight, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

I think we tried this before and
discovered that almost anyone in
the galaxy can be linked back through
Adam Baldwin because he has worked
with *everybody.*
It was amazing.
Or perhaps it was on another board?

Go, PotC2! Only 5 more days!
I love both my captains because
they just want their ships and
the freedom those ships bring.

Well after trying NOT to use Adam Baldwin, I came up with this, which ended up being fewer degrees than my initial Adam Baldwin one:

Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Carribean with Orlando Bloom
Orlando Bloom in Black Hawk Down with Tom Seizemore
Tom Seizemore in Saving Private Ryan with Nathan Fillion

Nicolas Cage (figured it out as typing and it only took me 3 degrees)

Ben Stiller was in an episode of "Freaks and Geeks"
Ben Foster was in two episodes of "Freaks and Geeks" and he was also in the TV show, "Flash Forward" with Jewel Staite

This one kind of works.

Kate Wislet was in Finding Neverland with Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp was in Pirates Of The Carribean with Orlando Bloom
Orlando Bloom was in Lord Of The Rings with Sean Astin
Sean Astin is on "24", which Gina Torres has guest-starred on

Like I said, it only kind of works.

Edit: Sorry, forgot to post a new one. Here's one of my favorite actors: Gary Oldman

Good to know... thanks! I think with Adam Baldwin, its way too easy, he's been in soo many movies.
Sorry if I'm hogging the game, knowing movies and actors/actresses is the only thing that I'm truly good at. My family thinks I should be a film critic but I figure critics are people who cant do which is kinda depressing. No Offense to critics out there.

Is anyone doing Jon Heder?
