I thought this would be fun for our guests, so I'm putting it in here.
If you've never heard of a little internet game started years ago called "Six Degrees of Separation to Kevin Bacon," it goes like this:
Through whatever permutations you can think of, through six steps (degrees), find a connection of yourself to Kevin Bacon.
For me, it can be thus, assuming Kevin ever played in a Miramax film (which I guess I should find out, huh?)
Me My Son My Son's Dad My Son's Dad's Band, signed with Miramax, a sub-holding of Miramar Miramax Miramar -- Kevin Bacon
OK, that might be more than six degrees, lol... but you get the point I think.
ANY WAY, do the same with your favorite GAH actor or actress.
I'm just wondering where one draws that line.
Eg, Culp's oldest son, Joshua, was born in 1961. I was born in 1961. (Yes, Robert's old enough to be my dad... but do I care?)
Culp graduated in Seattle. I graduated in Seattle (granted, his was university, mine was high school.)

Too easy:
Robert Culp married to France Nuyen when she played Elaan in the original Star Trek series' "Elaan of Troyius."
Star Trek spawned Star Trek the Next Generation.
Patrick Stewart stars in STTNG.
I am the Master.

OK how about Robert Culp and Patrick Stewart? Patrick Stewart was in three separate episodes of "Star Trek: TNG" with Carolyn Seymour. Caorlyn Seymour was in "GAH: Heaven is in Your Genes" with Robert Culp. www.imdb.com/name/nm0786809/Two Degrees of Robert Culp. Can't you think of anything harder? I could do this in my sleep. Next?

One degree of separation (or maybe even zero?)
Robert Culp and Patrick Stewart are both classically trained actors, eg, Shakespeare (well, Culp said Ibsen and Chekhov too).
Yes, Bill Maxwell does Shakespeare. The mind boggles.

Robert Culp was in Spy Hard (1996) with Taylor Negron Taylor Negron was in Treading Water (2002) with William Katt
This game is played with on screen appearences, not who they married, when they were born or what religion they are.

OK, one clarification on the rule, if we're going to keep it to screen appearances and not grasping at straws:
Does actual blood relation count as a degree at all? Since the two people would share DNA?

OK, to re-state the Robert Culp to Patrick Stewart via the route I gave it (granted, it wasn't as succinct as J-Man's):
Robert Culp and France Nuyen appear in four eps of "I Spy" together France Nuyen appears on STTOS STTOS spawns STTNG Patrick Stewart stars on STTNG
There. You've got your screen appearances, no mention of marriage.

I just let YOU do the footwork for me, wasn't that nice? Add two degrees and it's ME to ROBERT CULP, wh00t! Me My Son Krist Novoselic (Son's cousin) Then what you said, J-Man. You rule, right there alongside Bill Maxwelll. (Doing my happy little six-degrees to Robert Culp dance now.) I still like our Seattle connection, however, both being transplanted here then going to school.
