QUIZ: Minimum Degrees Of Separation

Hey Guys,

Few years back, a trio of Pennsylvania college boys with too much time on their hands and a bottle of Southern Comfort came up with the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.

E.g.

The Six degrees of separation between Kevin Bacon to the Alien in Alien:


Kevin Bacon was in Footloose with Dianne Weist,
Who was in The Birdcage with Gene Hackman,
Who was in The Firm with Holly Hunter,
Who was in Copycat with Sigourney Weaver,
Who was in Alien with the Alien.


Why not extend this to any Two Hollywood actors with few interesting rules .... Let's play honest....

QUIZ: Minimum Degrees Of Separation

RULES:


1. A person has to come up with names of any two Hollywood Actors and ask the minimum degrees of separation between them.


2. The readers will propose their Minimum degrees of separation between those 2 actors by replying (preferentially "Quoting" to the question). A participant cannot offer more than 1 solution.

--- The degrees of separation should always be with the Leading Actors in the film but not with guest celebrities or short film span appearances. Even characters which are INHUMAN should alo be avoided like the alien in the Kevin Bacon example above. It is invalid.

--- The degree can be upon a Film, Play, Private Album, Video Song or a TV Serial \ Program for that matter.

--- Animation movies are invalid as they have voices but no video appearances of actors.


3. On Next day, the conclusion SHOULD take place. It will be judged by the questioner him\herself. If He\her are not able to announce due to some reasons then winner can announce his own name. (Who must be always be accessing the forum next day interested to find out results)


4. The broadcaster will announce the valid minimum of the degrees of separation found among the answers along with the winner's name under a Subject line like "Findings: Minimum Degrees of Separation in Hollywood among <actor Name1> & <actor Name 2>". This is required to officially close the contest for that Hollywood couple and start a new one and also as a valid Knowledge Base for future reference.

If the broadcaster (mostly questioner who posted the question) has his\her own answer SHORTER than that of the winner then he\she can also post his OWN findings along with the winner's solution in the "Findings" post.

Also if somebody later finds that the broadcasted winner solution of the degrees of separation of the couple can further be optimized, he\she can reply to the "Findings" post.


7. Now the proposed winner will get a chance to ask degrees of separation between his own couple of Hollywood actors for next round and become the moderator\judge for 1 day and should announce the winner in his "Findings" report on next day as per rules and thus the Game Continues...


8. The questioner cannot participate in his own quiz for having a fair part.


9. If 2 or more readers come up with the most minimum degrees of separation, the earliest reply (on date-time) will be crowned. Even if there is a tie on that too (which is least likely), we would consider the alphabetically preceding Author's Name (So that you guys can blame yourselves for not selecting an alphabetically preceding name while registering onto this forum)


10. Catch: The questioner has to spin his brain around a little to come up with a couple with degrees of separation so stringent in Hollywood that no one can guess easy. On the other hand the proposer should be quick enough to reply before others claim the crown or before the round is over in a day.


11. Hint: Try to find War Films who have a line of leading Actors or TV Serials that ran for long


So what you say …… Interested?


If yes let me have this privilege to announce the first Hollywood Couple.
