[GAME] The degree of separation game!


Formally known as The Kevin Bacon Game this one is quite easy to follow.

It used to be that any actor in movie history could be chosen and the idea was to link them to Kevin Bacon via other actors and movies that they have starred in (Not cameos or shown footage of other works).

e.g. Kevin Bacon to Clark Gable.

Clark Gable was in Run Silent Run Deep with Burt Lancaster (1)

Burt Lancaster was in Tough Guys with Dana Carvey (2)

Dana Carvey was in Wayne's World 2 with Kim Basinger (3)

Kim Basinger was in Batman with Jack Nicholson (4)

Jack Nicholson was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon (5)

In total the leader board would show that Kevin Bacon to Clark Gable would stand at 5.

If someone finds a shorter connection they take the place on the leader board.

In this game ANY two actors can be chosen to be linked to each other, not just Kevin Bacon and someone. Once you answer how they are linked and in how many steps you can pick two actors for everyone else to guess. Leaders go onto the leader board (First couple of replies below).

Have a go at new challenges or try to best those who have already attempted to show the shortest separation range.


First challenge: This one should be topical and easy, but how low can you keep the range?

Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels.
