I played this game on this sight once AGES ago. It was great fun then, so...It runs like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. The premise is that Joe Schmoe knows A. who knows B. who knows C. who knows Kevin Bacon. How's that link to Firefly?

Harrison Ford...was in "Witness" with Danny Glover who was also in "Lethal Weapon" with Mel Gibson who was also in "The Patriot" with Adam Baldwin.

Ta DAA!

Don't forget to leave a name for the next guy.

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.

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.

Ok, OJ Simpson. All roads lead to The Operative with me it seems.

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)

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.
