Six Degrees of ...(Actor Game)

[BluenoseWest]

Well I see the movie quotes is popular and this is very similar. Some people might know it as Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon but it will work with pretty much any two actors.

The idea is to throw out two random actors and see if you can connect them with six degrees or less.

Example Seth Rogen to Robert Deniro

Seth Rogen was in Donnie Darko with Jake Gylenhall (1 Degree)
Jake Gylenhal was in Jarhead with Chris Cooper (2 Degrees)
Chris Cooper was in Adaptation with Meryl Streep (3 Degrees)
Meryl Streep was in Deer Hunter with Robert Deniro (4 Degrees)

Great thing is you don't have to know the answer when you throw out the names. Just like quotes person who gets it right starts the next one.

So to start

Casey Afleck to Dustin Hoffman.

1. Casey Affleck starred in a Jesse James movie with Brad Pitt
2. Brad Pitt married to Angelina Jolie
