[LondonLady]

I really like Jeremy Renner! He was in, "The Town," which is really good. It's directed by Ben Affleck, who does an excellent job. Anyway, Jeremy Renner is in, "The Town" with Ben Affleck, who is in, "Forces of Nature" with Sandra Bullock, who is in, "Gun Shy" with Mitch Pileggi, who plays Assistant Director Walter Skinner on, "The X Files."

Let me know if this one is too difficult.

A lot tougher than usual, I will admit!

(note that I steered clear of our usual Brad Pitt connection once I got to Ocean's Twelve!)

Whew - wondered if that was going to take more than six degrees!

Next: Amy Smart

[LondonLady]

, Truth! Yes, the Brad Pitt to "Kalifornia" and David Duchovny would have been much easier. Well done for being more creative.

[LondonLady]

[LondonLady]

Oh, my gosh! I've seen "Bill Patterson" on, "That 70's Show." I can picture him now. I think he played the dad. I didn't even know it was him until you said so, Truth.

[LondonLady]

Just in case anybody still wants to play this game, let me answer Truth's puzzle, then pose the next actor/actress. Quest, if I remember correctly, I think that you used to enjoy playing this game.

NEXT: Dermot Mulroney

[LondonLady]

I looked up Rex Linn on imdb.com to see what he looks like, because I don't remember him on, "The Walking Dead." Maybe he played one of the walkers!

[Agent Skulder]

Still in play - Next: Lochlyn Munro

For new players, Yes PLEASE use IMDb to make connections, from just 1 to 6.

Think of this game as a way to get familiar with sometimes unheard of actors, depending on your cultural background.

[WereDoomed]

Lochlyn Munro was in Castle with Nathan Fillion who was in Firefly with Jewel Staite who played
Amy Jacobs – Oubliette




Next up: Adrian Paul

[LondonLady]

Well done, WD, and, "Oubliette" is one of my favourite episodes.
You need to suggest the next actor or actress for us to link to, "The X Files."

[WereDoomed]

But I did, LL...

Next up: Adrian Paul

[LondonLady]

No, you didn't, WD. All you posted on August 6th, 2012, 7:38 pm, when you gave your answer was,

"Lochlyn Munro was in Castle with Nathan Fillion who was in Firefly with Jewel Staite who played
Amy Jacobs – Oubliette."

However, it doesn't matter. Still in play:

Next up: Adrian Paul

[Agent Skulder]

London Lady.... We are accustomed to seeing SIGNATURES at the bottom of posts. Weredoomed uses GIFs as part of some posts ...

If you take one last look at the Aug 6 post, "Next up: Adrian Paul" appears at the very bottom of the post, about 2 lines under what looks like the GIF sig...

Oops! Yes, you're correct. Sorry, WD.

[WereDoomed]

Apology accepted

[Agent Skulder]

Still in play....

NEXT: Oded Fehr

[LondonLady]

Oded Fehr was in, "Resident Evil: Extinction" with Milla Jovovich, who was in, "Stone" with Edward Norton, who was in, "Fight Club" with Brad Pitt, who was in, "Kalifornia" with David Duchovny, who plays Special Agent Fox Mulder on, "The X Files."

Next is a fellow Londoner: Amelia Bullmore

[Agent Skulder]

Reminder to new players - since you may find many names obscure, and since we're creeping along, feel free to use the IMDb from day #1. Unless you hate digging, this is a fun way to discover a movie that sounds interesting enough to rent.

Amelia Bullmore (never heard of her, but via IMDb...) starred with William Hurt in "Endgame"; he starred with Chris Owens in the 2008 "Incredible Hulk" and of course Chris Owens was Jeffrey Spender in TXF...

NEXT: Anna Paquin

[LondonLady]

Bumpity bump.

[LondonLady]

Bumping again, one week later, just for the fun of it! LOL

[LondonLady]

Anna Paquin

Anna Paquin was in, "25th Hour" with Edward Norton, who I just love as an actor. "Edward Norton was in "Fight Club" with Brad Pitt, who was in, "Kalifornia" with David Duchovny, who plays Special Agent Fox Mulder on, "The X Files."

Next: Olivia de Havilland

[LondonLady]

Bumpity bump.

Remember: in this game, you may use imdb.com or other resources at any time.

Still next: Olivia de Havilland

[LondonLady]

Bumpity, bump again! What a bumpy ride Olivia de Havilland is having!

[Agent Skulder]

She had "a bumpy ride" because she's probably not familiar to many players. She hasn't worked since 1988, not bad considering she was born in 1916. Her connection required a quick visit to IMDb. Total search time - 3.0 minutes ...

Olivia de Havilland appeared with Darren McGavin* in Airport '77, and McGavin guest starred in "Agua Mala" as Arthur Dales with Mulder and Scully....

* As most know, Darren McGavin would have also appeared in The Unnatural but could not after having a stroke, prompting the creation of Arthur Dales' brother (who was also named Arthur Dales,) portrayed by M. Emmet Walsh.

Most significant - McGavin also portrayed Kolchak in "Kolchak: The Night Stalker," which was Carter's inspiration for TXF.
