A poll on driving etiquette and six degrees of separation

[kaaatie]

This has arisen from a conversation with a friend, and I'm just interested in what other people do.

[Poll #837909]

I also have a challenge for you. I love the Six Degrees of Separation --- the idea is that any actor can be linked to any other actor in less than 6 moves (a 'move' is a movie or TV show that they starred in together). I believe that I can link David Hewlett to any other actor - so, name an actor, and I'll see if I can do it! Just in case I'm not making sense, here's an example of what I mean:

David Hewlett to Joe Flanigan
David Hewlett starred in "Where The Heart is" with Crispin Glover
Crispin Glover starred in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" with Juliette Lewis
Juliette Lewis starred in "The Other Sister" with Joe Flanigan

Easy. So, nominate someone for me!

So far I've linked David Hewlett to:
- Hugh Laurie
- Joss Whedon
- Aaron Sorkin
- George Clooney
- Clive Owen
- Derek Jacobi
- John Simm
- Ian McKellen
- Kevin Bacon
- Anthony Edwards
- Will Smith
- Hugh Grant
- Orson Welles
- Matthew Perry
- Kate Winslet
- George Lucus
- Alan Rickman
- Gary Oldman
- Gary Sinise
- Isabella Rossallini
- Keifer Sutherland
- Oliver Platt
- Kenneth Branagh
- Emma Thompson
- Helena Bonham Carter
- Rupert Everett
- Rupert Graves

(The explanations are in the comments. I'm happy to do more if anyone wants to nominate someone!)

Doing the six degrees thing is fun! My roomie and I did that a while ago with random Stargate actors and connecting them to other people. What you gotta do is connect them to famous people who are either really old or no longer living (like someone from a black+white movie back in the day). Those are really challenging.

6 Degrees

Ooooooh I've just discovered this place, noticed you've got Gary Sinise on the list and he's sooooo easy you can go thru Stargate. I can't keep myself away
David Hewlett - Corin Nemec (Jonas Quinn - SG1)
Corin Nemec - Gary Sinise (Stephen King's The Stand)
I couldn't believe that was Jonas when I went back and watched the Stand again.
Anyway - hey, I'm Bex, nice to meet ya

Since you posted anonymously, you won't actually get an email response to this... but I just have to say: OH MY GOD! THAT WAS CORIN NEMEC!?!?!?! HE WAS HAROLD!?!? Wow! I had no idea! I love The Stand mini series - I'm going to have to watch it again now, with the knowledge that it's Jonas! Now that I know, it seems obvious! Thanks for the info! :D

Nice to meet you too! :)
