I know we had a "Six Degrees of" thread a while back, but it was never played as a game. I think Ron Eldard is easily as connectible as Kevin Bacon. Hey! One degree! Ron Eldard was in Sleepers with Keven Bacon. Anyway...
Here are the rules: Connect whichever celebrity is named to Ron Eldard within six degrees. You may use either Television or Movies to do so, but try not to cheat (there's a website that does this for you) unless you get really stuck. It's okay to look over at IMDB because that can actually be a lot of work at times, but it's best if you try to do it off the top of your head. I'll start by connecting him to Robert Redford.
Okay...
Robert Redford was in Sneakers with Ben Kingsley --who was in House of Sand and Fog with Ron Eldard
Wow. I thought there would be more degrees than that.
Now someone find David Caruso.

Thank you for playing with me, Doobrah! Karma!
Okay...
Meg Ryan was in Sleepless in Seattle with: Tom Hanks, who was in Forrest Gump with: Sally Field, who was on ER with Ron Eldard.
Does it count if they appeared in different seasons?
Okay...now try Anthony Michael Hall.

I'll never be able to do this, not knowing anything of his but BJ. This would be easier with Eric Stoltz, has way more films to choose from! He even has more than the namesake of this game, Kevin Bacon! My wishful thinking. According to IMDB: Ron Eldard -- 28 Kevin Bacon -- 62 Eric Stoltz -- 98 Oh well. Hopefully I'll be able to participate in other games.

Okay...now try Anthony Michael Hall. Ooh, ooh! This one I like! Anthony Michael Hall was in Sixteen Candles with Gedde Watanabe who was in ER with... Ron Eldard. OR Anthony Michael Hall was in Sixteen Candles with Gedde Watanabe who was in Gremlins 2 with Phoebe Cates who was in Drop Dead Fred with... Ron Eldard. OR Anthony Michael Hall was in sixteen Candles with Gedde Watanabe who was in UHF with David Bowe who was in Family Ties with Justine Bateman who was in Men Behaving Badly with... Ron Eldard. Okay, I'll stop. I could do random 80s guys like AMH all day, I think. Now try, um, David Bowie... --GB

Ok, first I have another one for Hall.
He was in one of the Vacation movies with Chevy Chase, who was in another of the Vacation movies with Marisol Nichols, who was (of course) in Blind Justice.
I don't know one for David Bowie. I'm really bad at this. I couldn't even remember the names of the Vacation movies.

This is making my brain hurt. Can I go back and do Demi Moore (this is what happens when you don;t check in for a few hours). Demi Moore was in The Baker's Wife with George Dzundza Who was in Law & Order (the first season) with Chris Noth Who was in Law & Order (later seasons) with Jerry Orbach Who appeared in crossover episodes of Homicide: Life on the StreetAnd Ron Eldard guest-starred on Homicide. I now return you to David Bowie and I haven't got a clue.

How do you guys do this? My head is swimming just reading all the posts! How do you make all the connections? I watch a lot of movies but don't always pay attention to who's in them. Maybe that's my bad with this game. Give me a day or two and maybe I'll give it a shot.

(Did you know that Eileen Atkins was in Gosford Park, too?) Now Nicole Kidman Dunce! Okay, so I made that one wayyyy more complicated than it needed to be obviously But that's the fun part, right? No, I hadn't realized she was in it... Silly moi! Okay, I really like this one! Nicole Kidman was in Far and Away with Tom Cruise, who was in Minority Report with Leonard Mattis (eep!), I mean, Patrick Kilpatrick, who was of course, bad dude extraordinaire in "Marlon's Brando". bjobsessed, the rules said we could double-check stuff on IMdB. Without it, I'd be a very lost green being. I forgot who else I'd wanted to do earlier, and the only name coming to mind at this moment is... Neil Patrick Harris. --GB
