» Six Degrees of Smallville Options

[meknownothing]

Annette Funicello was in the 1987 movie Back to the Beach
with
Lori Loughlin, who was in the 1997 TV-movie Tell Me No Secrets
with
Bruce Greenwood (St. Elsewhere!), who was in the 2000 movie Here on Earth
with
Annette O'Toole!

Next: Let's try Tom Welling to Tom Cruise!

[neutrino]

Let's try Tom Welling to Tom Cruise!

Tom Welling was in Cheaper by the Dozen with
Bonnie Hunt who was in Rain Man with
Tom Cruise!!!

Woo Hoo!!! I got one!!! Yay me!! I am normally soo bad at these things.

Alright next up: Michael Rosenbaum to... Rob Lowe.

[Of course you'll have to discount the fact that they are both members of my harem!! LOL!!]

[DarkEmerald]

Rob Lowe was in St. Elmo's Fire with
Judd Nelson who was (briefly) a regular on Suddenly Susan, poor thing, with
Andy Dick, who was in Almost Perfect (is that even still on?) with
Sara Rue who was at least a semi-regular during the too short run of Zoe Duncan Jack and Jane with
Michael Rosenbaum.

And I'd like to say: I did that one entirely without help from IMDB. So if my memory's faulty...oh well!

ETA: So, what about a line of links connecting John Glover to Danny Glover?

[meknownothing]

John Glover was in the 1983 TV-movie The Face of Rage
with
Danny Glover!

Next, how about connecting Michael and Ed Rosenbaum!

ETA that Ed Rosenbaum is the doctor who is best known for writing a book/movie about how difficult it is to be a hospital patient (especially if you're a doctor to start with).

Ok, this was a really hard one for me to connect:

Ed Rosenbaum was in The Doctor with Mandy Patinkin
Mandy Patinkin was in Last Embrace with Christopher Walken
Christopher Walken was in Poolhall Junkies with Michael Rosenbaum

How about Ed Harris to my boyfriend John Schneider?

[DarkEmerald]

Wow, I'm impressed, Gov! So, let's see:

Ed Harris was in The Truman Show with
Laura Linney, who was in House of Mirth with
Gillian Anderson, who was in Playing By Heart with
Ellen Burstyn, who was in Last Picture Show with
Cybill Shepherd, who was in Cybill with
Tom Wopat, who was of course in Dukes of Hazzard with, of course
Gov's boyfriend, John Schneider!

(IMDB was consulted at the Last-Picture-Show level to complete these degrees.)

So, how about a little Kristin Kreuk to Kristin Scott-Thomas?

[CanSpy]

I got it! I got it!

Kristen Scott-Thomas was in Gosford Park with...
Ryan Philippe, who was in I Know What You Did Last Summer with...
Sarah Michelle Gellar, who was on Buffy with...
Michelle Trachenberg, who was in Eurotrip with

Kristen Kruek!

How about...Michael Rosenbaum to Michael Vartan!

[DarkEmerald]

Heh. I love how Ryan Phillipe's role in Gosford Park links the world of the WB to the world of great British actors.

[PhantomChic]

Michael Vartan was in One Hour Photo with...
Robin Williams who was in Mrs. Doubtfire with...
Harvey Fierstein who was in Hairspray (on Broadway) who was just replaced by...
Michael McKean who, in addition to being Perry White, was in TV movie Final Justice with his wife...
Annette O'Toole who, of course, is on Smallville with...
Michael Rosenbaum!

That one took longer than it probably needed to, but I wanted to bring in Hairspray.

How about...Allison Mack and Allyson Hannigan!

[DarkEmerald]

Allyson Hannigan was in American Pie with
Eugene Levy, who was in A Mighty Wind with
Michael McKean, who has played (and if I have anything to say about it, shall play again) a guest but canon role as Perry White in Smallville , with
Allison Mack.

Okay, so here's one: Annette O'Toole to Peter O'Toole.

[meknownothing]

Peter O'Toole was in 2004's Troy
with
Eric Bana, who was in 2003's Hulk
with
Nick Nolte, who was in 1982's 48 Hours
with
Annette O'Toole!

Next, John Schneider with another "Schneider", Pat Harrington Jr.

[esprit15d]

::whining:: C'mon, C'mon, C'mon...somebody do Kevin Bacon to Michael Rosenbaum!

[DarkEmerald]

::snerk!:: Pat Harrington as Schneider. Good one! And here's a big old stretch with some rule breaking:

Pat Harrington was in One Day at a Time with
Valerie Bertinelli, who was in Touched by an Angel with
Roma Downey who was in Borrowed Hearts (a sappy, sappy TV Xmas movie that I actually watched) with
Eric McCormack playing a straight guy, who plays a gay guy in Will and Grace with
Debra Messing who was in the short-lived but interesting sci-fi series Prey with
Vincent Ventresca who was The Invisible Man where he spied around with
Brandy Ledford who played Ryan's evil Step-Step Ho mom in the SV episode "Stray" right alongside
John Schneider!

Whew.

Okay, how about Kevin Bacon to Michael Rosenbaum.

[meknownothing]

Kevin Bacon was in 1987's Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
with
Steve Martin., who was in 2003's Bringing Down the House
with
Michael Rosenbaum!

Next, how about Sam Jones III with Tommy Lee Jones?

[DarkEmerald]

Tommy Lee Jones was in Men In Black with
Will Smith, who opens tomorrow in I, Robot with
Alan Tudyk who was in Wonder Boys with
Katie Holmes who was in Dawson's Creek with
Josh Jackson who was in Urban Legend with
Michael Rosenbaum who was in Smallville Seasons 1 through 3 with
Sam Jones III!

Amid the bitterness of current spoilers, would anyone care to try John Glover to Lionel Barrymore?
