This one is always a favorite when we have some down-time at work. The goal is to link up two actors/actresses using the movies that they have been in. And of course, you have to go through Kevin Bacon.
I.E.
Link Tom Cruise to Penelope Cruise
Tom Cruise was in "A Few Good Men" with Kevin Bacon (1 step)
Kevin Bacon was in "Murder in the First" with William H. Macy (2 steps)
William H. Macy was in "Sahara" with Penelope Cruz. (3 steps)

I know, but I didn't think writing/directing would count. Otherwise, I would have used it. But, you know, I wouldn't have made the connections you did, and it would have only saved me one link.
Also, you did my Jerry Lewis to Peter DeLuise chain in less links than I used. I suck at this game. :-D

I only bring up the writing/directing credit to justify using the cameo. Otherwise I never use it.
I used to work a twelve hour shift six days a week; we played this game for HOURS.
Leonardo DiCaprio to Francis J. Noonan
(Bonus: Robin Williams to President Theodore Roosevelt)

I just found out that I have an unofficial Bacon number of 4!
My sister (1 link) was in the same college theater company as Steve Kazee (2 links).
Steve Kazee had a small role in an episode of "Medium" with Gerry Becker (3 links)
Gerry Becker was in Trapped with Kevin Bacon (4 links).
Woot!
You got another one for us Jojo?

I have no idea what my unofficial bacon number is but a) I'm damn sure gonna spend most of this week figuring it out and b) lacking I'm sure it'll smell good enough to get at least 3 converted vegans back on the hickory-dickory smoked pork train.
