I propose a game: Six Degrees of Firefly.
Much like similarly named games, the object is to connect one actor to another in 6 links or less.
I hope this is the most appropriate forum. If not, please move to the correct forum.
The Rules.
1. The 2 actors to be connected must be players from any Firefly production - episode, Pilot, BDM.
2. The first poster to connect these players in 6 links or less will propose the next Job (selecting the next 2 Firefly players to link).
3. No Firefly production (ep, Pilot, BDM) may be used in an in-between link.
4. Any other movie may be used as a link. Individual episodes of TV are not valid links. However, primary cast of a TV series are allowed. Also, Made-for-TV movies are valid, as well as 2-hour Pilots (except Serenity). For example, Jewel would be a valid link to other primary cast on SG:Atlantis, but not for any link on X-Files. Primary cast would be in the normal show's credits.
5. If a Job has been solved in 6 links or less and a new Job not posted, we must Keep Flying. So, after 3 days have elapsed without a new Job from the last solver, another poster may re-solve the last Job in fewer links than the last solution, and may then propose the new Job.
6. For the sake of manageable thread lengths, every 50th Job (#50, 100, 150, etc) the solver will post the solution on the current thread, but then not the new Job, but will please propose the new Job at the start of a new thread.
7. If a Job has not been solved in 4 days, the proposer may solve their own Job, and propose another.
Example Job:
Mr. Universe Adam Krumholtz to Capt Nathan Fillion.
Adam Krumholtz was in The Santa Clause with 1. Tim Allen,
who was in Galaxy Quest with 2. Justin Long,
who was in Live Free or Die Hard with 3. Bruce Willis,

Well, how about this :
1 Sean Maher : Living til the End, w/ Stephen Tobolowsky
2 Steven Toblowski : Wild Hogs, w/ Tim Allen
3 Tim Allen : Christmas with the Kranks, w/ Dan Akroyd
4 Dan Akroyd : Pearl Harbor, w/ Tom Sizemore
5 Tom Sizemore : Saving Private Ryan w/ Nathan Fillion
Tough one, as Sean Maher does not have a lot of connects !
(invites the thread starter to pose the next set)

I chose that one to start because I had resolved a 2 or 3 link solution to it, figured that would be easy enough. It would have used his primary cast connection in a TV series.
To keep flying, I'll accept your invite, this one should be easier in terms of connectability.
Job #2: Sheriff Gregg Henry (Train Job) to Jayne Adam Baldwin.

So, it was not "supposed" to be that hard

There was no valid solution to Job #2, although one does exist. The solution posted used non-primary cast in a TV series for both links, both of which are invalid. That post proposed Job #3 Zoe to Nandi. The first solution posted for this Job was also invalid, using non-primary cast in a TV series, and "Guest Stars", totalling 4 different invalid links. This post proposed Job #4.
However, a 2nd solution for Job #3 was posted with apparently valid links. I don't link with Voice Only roles, but this is much more valid than the previous solution. This post Proposed Job #4 as Book to Badger.
In the interest of Keep Flying, under the current situation the most recent valid proposed Job is accepted and solved.
Job #5 is "Lenore" Nectar Rose (BDM) to "Womack" Richard Burgi (The Message).
