Thought it would be a good time-killer to start a six degrees of separation game.

Basic rules, name any two actors, and someone has to try to connect them through other actors within 6 people.

No tv appearances allowed.

Only actors can be used, so you can't say Actor A was directed by Spielberg who directed Actor B.

Credited performances only, so no quick two second cameos in a movie that were used as a punchline.

So to start off:

Christian Bale to Adam West

[ethanvahlere]

Christian Bale was in Batman Begins with Michael Caine, who was in Hurry Sundown with Faye Dunaway, who was in The Thomas Crown Affair with Steve McQueen, who was in Soldier in the Rain with Adam West.
