Okay, the way to play the game is you give two actors names, one of which has to do with any of the actors\actresses in the 007 franchise, and connect them ala Seven degrees of Kevin Bacon. I'll start:

Vin Diesel to Sean Connery

[Tanger]

VIN DIESEL was in The Chronicles of Riddick with Judi Dench
Judi Dench was in Mrs. Henderson Presents with Bob Hoskins
Bob Hoskins was in Hook with Dustin Hoffman
Dustin Hoffman was in Meet the Fockers with Robert De Niro
Robert De Niro was in The Untouchables with SEAN CONNERY

Did it in 5.

Try this - Lindsay Lohan to Ursula Andress.

[Jaws0178]

Not bad. Heres mine. Did it in six

Vin Diesel to Sean Connery

Diesel to Sam L. Jackson-xXx
Sam Jackson to Colin Farrell-SWAT
Colin Farrell to Bruce Willis-Hart's War
Bruce Willis to Benecio Del Toro- Sin City
Benecio Del Toro To Desmond Llewelyn- License to Kill
Desmond Llewelyn to Sean Connery- Duh

[Tanger]

Too timid to try mine?

[Quartermaster007]

Try this on for size.


17 pages of the four degrees of James Bond.

[Jaws0178]

I'll try it... eventually

[Tanger]

Egads, this game is going nowhere fast.

Looks like I'll have to accept my own challenge. Here goes...


LINDSAY LOHAN was in Herbie: Fully Loaded with Michael Keaton
Michael Keaton was in BeetleJuice with Alec Baldwin
Alec Baldwin was in The Hunt For Red October with Sean Connery
Sean Connery was in Dr. No with URSULA ANDRESS

[homerjbond]

Back to Vin Diesel to Sean Connery, can we use Bond films to link? If so, here's mine:

Vin Diesel in The Chronicles of Riddick with Judi Dench
Judi Dench in The World Is Not Enough (among others) with Desmond Llewelyn
Desmond Llewelyn in Thunderball (among others) with Sean Connery

New one:

Talisa Soto to Richard Gere

[Double-Oh Agent]

Talisa Soto was in Pinero with Benjamin Bratt
Benjamin Bratt was in Clear And Present Danger with Henry Czerny
Henry Czerny was in Mission: Impossible with Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise was in A Few Good Men with Jack Nicholson
Jack Nicholson was in Terms Of Endearment with Debra Winger
Debra Winger was in An Officer And A Gentleman with Richard Gere

I decided not to use the Bond connections because they can too easily speed up the process. Otherwise, Soto to Gere would have looked like this:

Taliso Soto was in Licence To Kill with Benicio Del Toro
Benicio Del Toro was in Traffic with Catherine Zeta-Jones
Catherine Zeta-Jones was in Chicago with Richard Gere

See too easy. I think we shouldn't be allowed to use the Bond connections. I won't anyway.

How about matching Carey Lowell to Audrey Hepburn?

[codenamel]

Taking DOA's cue and exclude Bond films:

Sean Connery in Just Cause with Laurence Fishburne

Next Felix Leiters:
Norman Burton to Jeffrey Wright

[homerjbond]

Do we really need directors, writers, cameo appearances on TV sitcoms, etc. to connect these actors? I believe any two actors can be bound in under seven degrees...

Anyways, back to KlBond007's pair:

Norman Burton in Bloodsport with Forest Whitaker
Forest Whitaker in Johnny Handsome with Morgan Freeman
Morgan Freeman in Glory with Denzel Washington
Denzel Washington in The Manchurian Candidate with Jeffrey Wright

Answer to New one

Antonio Banderas to Catherine Zeta Jones- The Zorro Series

Battle of the Admirals:
John M. Jackson (Admiral AJ Chegwidden of JAG fame)
Geoffrey Palmer (Admiral Roebuck)

Okay, I was looking over the old posts. You are allowed one Bond connection, but don't do the obvious ones. For example Connery to Moore, oh thats easy, Connery was in Dr. No with Lois Maxwell, who was in The Spy who loved me with Roger Moore. Got it?
