LOL! Johnnyreb.. The squire in "a knights tale" is DEFINATELY NOT Alan Tudyk!

I haven't followed each post enough to know if you're joking but he definately was,

He played "Wat".

Ps. Am I the only one who is amazed that this thread got 71 posts in just over a day?

Vincent Price...

Vincent Price + Dianne West -> Edward ScissorHands
Dianne West + Adam Baldwin -> Independance Day

Yahoo!

Um... I gotta pick someone now, right?

For ease, I will say Natalie Portman...

For someone who really wants to try hard, Roberto Benigni.

Muahaha...

Got it:

Benigni-->Mark Schneider (Son of Pink Panter)

Scneider -->Dan Aykroyd (Ghostbuster II)

Aykroyd --> Tom Hanks (Dragnet)

Hanks-->Fillon (Saving Private Ryan)

Here is a challenging one!

David Letterman
(Yes, he has been in movies, 2 to be exact)

I'm sure that none of us are cheating by using sites like this:
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/oracle/star_links.html

It has a computer data base that can link ANY actor to any other actor. Very powerful and fun to use (but still cheating!) I found close links to Adam Baldwin for every actor I could think of (maybe he should replace Kevin in the "Six Degree of Kevin Bacon" game...) I even linked Firefly cast members to each other:
Here are just 2:

Adam Baldwin was in Blind Justice (1994) with Jack Black
Jack Black was in Ice Age (2002) with Alan Tudyk

Adam Baldwin was in My Bodyguard (1980) with Jennifer Beals
Jennifer Beals was in Roger Dodger (2002) with Morena Baccarin

So, we should invoke the Browncoat Honor System (BHS) - we promise that sites like this will only be used to double-check questionable links. After all, to quote former vice president Dan Quayle, "It's a terrible thing to waste a mind."

Hmm, that link does take the fun out of it.
I can't even find PORN STARS without a firefly connection of 3 or less on that thing.

Yeah, I kind of admit. I don't feel so gifted anymore. Still it was an interesting little trip.

Heck I linked Bono, Amy Grant, Pat Boone & Bruce Lee.

I feel so dirty...

It's kind of scary how interconnected the movie industry is - maybe if the world had such close connections, we would all be living in a shinier place (and I would be the King of Londinium). Either that, or we would all be inter-related and have be having kids with twelve fingers.

By the way, TragicStory, did you really find the connection from Benigni to Fillon all on your own? If so, that was very impressive!

Hey, you ARE still gifted (and StillShiny) if you can come up with the links without a computer's help. Just take the "Browncoat Pledge of Honor" that you did it on your own when you post

After all, knowing that a computer can do something for you, should not keep you from doing that thing yourself. Working your mind builds new brain cells. If you drank as much as I did back in college, you would realize just how important that is.

Use the link as a double-checker and you will still be "gifted".

Except for the 2nd guy. I had to cheat on that. What I REALLY wanted to do was connect him through the "spaggehti westerns" but alas could not.

Of course, the machine puts us all to shame:

Adam Baldwin was in Ordinary People (1980) with Donald Sutherland
Donald Sutherland was in Fellini: Je suis un grand menteur (2001) with Roberto Benigni

Frankly (may I call you Frank?), I am more impressed with the longer links you folks have come up with.

Hey, how about you change the rules a bit. Find the longest link between actors (most number of people between). You can not look that up on the computer (as far as I know).

Update: The site I listed claims that they can match most actors within 3 links (many within 2) so let's say you try to make the linkage 4 or more. That would make it the "Four Degrees of Separation to Firefly" Game, and the gorram computer can't help you now.
