JESS: You can’t do it with just any celebrity. . .
ME: ExCUSE me? Nathan Fillion is not just ANY celebrity.
JESS: Jesus, sorry. I forgot how close you two are. Stalk much?
ME: Stalk is such an ugly word. I consider myself an ardent admirer.
JESS: Whatever, Swimfan. My point is that the game only works with Kevin Bacon because he’s been in so many goddamned movies.
ME: I call bullshit. Try me.
JESS: Care to make it interesting? If I win, you have to go to work wearing Crocs. All. Week. Long.
ME: Deal. And WHEN I win, you must create a collage that commemorates my sheer awesomeness. Said collage will be posted on my blog and hung in my office for all to see.
JESS: You’re tough, but fair. Ready?
ME: Bring it.
JESS: Betty White.
ME: Pfft! Seriously? That’s the best you’ve got? Bitch, please. Betty White was in “The Proposal” with Ryan Reynolds who was on “Two Guys and A Girl” with. . .Nathan Fillion.
JESS: Shit. I forgot about that show.
ME: You’re lucky. The rest of America is still suffering from PTSD as a result of that piece of crap. What else have you got?
JESS: Taylor Swift.
ME: She’s not an actress.
JESS: Yuh-huh! She played that Goth chick on “CSI” and she was in that craptacular Valentine’s Day movie with Julia Roberts. . .
ME: . . .who was in “Larry Crowne” with Tom Hanks, who was in “Saving Private Ryan” with. . .Nathan Fillion.
JESS: He was in that?
ME: Yeah. Remember when they told Private Ryan that his brother was dead but it was the WRONG Private Ryan and he wigged out? That was Nathan Fillion.
JESS: I couldn’t finish that movie. Too much war stuff.
ME: Which is shocking since it has the word “Private” in the title.
JESS: Fuck you. OK. . .umm. . .George Clooney!
ME: Well, I could go one of two ways. There’s the whole Matt-Damon-“Oceans Eleven”-“Private Ryan” link, or I could go the more obscure route with the whole “ER”-Noah-Wylie-“The Librarian:2”-Stana-Katic-“Castle” connection. Which would you prefer.
JESS: I’m totally screwed, aren’t I?
ME: Yeah, pretty much.
JESS: Ooh! Zach Galifinakis!
ME: He is on “Bored Too Death” with Jason Schwarzman who was in “Marie Antoinette” with Kirsten Dunst.
JESS: So?
ME: Don’t you see? Kirsten Dunst was in “Bring It On”; the sequel of which was the epically shitty “Bring It On Again” which featured a young Felicia Day who played Penny in “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” with. . .Nathan Fillion. I could have gone with the more obvious Jason-Schwarzman-“Bored To Death”-with-Ted-Danson-who-was-also-in-“Saving Private Ryan” connection, but I didn’t want to play that one out too much.
JESS: I’m a little disturbed right now, not gonna lie.
ME: I am a veritable font of useless knowledge, yo.
JESS: OK, font. . .how about this one? Kevin Bacon.
ME: Sure! Kevin Bacon. . .ummm. . .he was in that. . .no, wait. . .damn.
JESS: Ironic, isn’t it?
ME: Shut up, Alanis Morisette, I’m thinking. Kevin Bacon. . .Kevin Bacon. . .
JESS: I want those Crocs to be bedazzled too. Preferably something with a “Hello Kitty” motif.
ME: Shut uuuuuuup! . . .Wait! Kevin Bacon! He was in “Flatliners” with Julia Roberts who was in “Ocean’s Eleven” with George Clooney who was on “ER” with Noah Wylie who was in “The Librarian:2” with Stana Katic who is on “Castle” with NATHAN FILLION!!! ((jumping up and down pumping fists like a Jersey Shore guido)) YES! ‘BAM’! said the lady!
JESS: I hate you so much right now.
ME: And by hate you mean you are in awe of my brilliance.
JESS: No, I mean I kinda want to light your face on fire.
ME: Better head off to the craft shop, Sweetie. That collage isn’t going to make itself!
JESS: Die.
So, who thinks they can stump me? Bring. It. On.

I am dying over her wanting you to wear Hello Kitty crocs. Can't wait to see the collage. Did you see the Nathan Fillion/Juanita Weasel meme?
Haha you are impressive!
Bedazzled Hello Kitty Crocs! I WANT THEM.
KELLY - Yes, I saw it! I love that Jenny Lawson google-stalks him as much as I do.
GIA - Some say impressive, others say disturbed. Only time will tell.
BECCA - I know you're Asian, but I will slap the shit out of you if I catch you wearing Hello Kitty. ;)
That was awesome....also slightly disturbing. In Hello Kitty news, I passed a lady on the way in this morning with about 1000 hello kitty stickers all over her black VW bug. Damn, I love California.
This is a game that shouldn't be stopped and I won't lie, I was hoping for some Hello Kitty crocs in your future.
I think you earned yourself at least a trio of collages.
Hello Kitty. Yuck.
Also, super AWESO game of 6 degrees!
While I am definitely tempted to point out that you are a lunatic, I am also very, very impressed.
Also, you and Na-Fil need to get your bang on PRONTO. You deserve that sausage.
JANA - Daaaaaaamn. That's 'klassy'.
MARK - If you can come up with a celebrity that stumps me, I shall don the Crocs for you. ;)
I think you can do it but I'll try anyway: Rooney Mara (played Lisabeth in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). I debated whether she was big name enough and I decided she is.
MARK - Rooney Mara was in "The Social Network" with Jesse Eisenberg, who was in "Zombieland" with Emma Stone who was on the short-lived TV series "Drive" with...Nathan Fillion. :)
I want to light your face on fire. That was great. My friends threaten to "Manson" on my head when I am right all the time.
Knew you could do it.
James Van Der Beek. I want to see how good you are.
H. ROSE - James Van Der Beek played Reese Dixon on "One Tree Hill" with Hilarie Burton who appeared as celebutante Kay Cappuchio last month on "Castle" with Nathan Fillion. BAM!
I think your skill set might be too good for the Wheel! You need your very own show!
you are totally fucking awesome and now I have to admit it, NF is way too hot for his own good. Damn if he still lived here I'd stalk him for you :)
LEMON - He is one smoky slab of Canadian bacon, fo' sho'. ;)
Jana - Picture?
Jen - Damn, now I wanna play. Just so I can see you wear those awful crocks. (I won't lie, I wanna see that collage as well).
David Spade
Peter Falk

Cloris Leachman
Ricky Schroeder
Jason Bateman
Alicia Silverstone
Frank Sinatra (do not say he isn't a movie star . . . lots of movies)
And . . . GO!
:)
Seems kind of pointless to link other actors to him. You know who you should find the link to him for? Me. And what the hell, you, too. Then we'll have the beginnings of a plan. Seven (or less) Degrees from Tiffany to Nathan sounds like an excellent game (by game, I mean somebody research it for me, and you can be my maid of honor when I marry him).
MISTY - I knew you'd make this difficult. ;)
David Spade: He was in "Jack & Jill" with Katie Holmes who was on "Dawson's Creek" with James van der Beek who was on "One Tree Hill" with Hilarie Burton, who was on "Castle" with Nathan.
Peter Falk: He was in "Corky Romano" with Chris Penn who was in "Footloose" with Kevin Bacon who was in "Flatliners" with Julia Roberts who was in "Larry Crowne" with Tom Hanks who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan.

Chloris Leachman: She was in "Alex & Emma" with Luke Wilson who was in "Rushmore" with Jason Schwarzman who is on "Bored to Death" with Ted Danson who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan.
Ricky Schroder: He was on "Silver Spoons" with Jason Bateman who was in that movie where he switched bodies with Ryan Reynolds who was on "Two Guys and a Girl" with Nathan.
Jason Bateman: I was in that movie where he switched bodies with Ryan Reynolds who was on "Two Guys and a Girl" with Nathan.
Alicia Silverstone: Nathan played her douchebag ex-boyfriend in "Blast From The Past".
Frank Sinatra: He was in "Cannonball Run II" with Jackie Chan who was in "The Tuxedo" with Jennifer Love Hewitt who was in "Can't Hardly Wait" with Seth Green who was on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" with Nathan.
God DAMN, I'm good!
I'm strangely turned on right now.

KELLY - My psychosis has that effect on people.
John Wayne.
Tina Fey.
Danny DeVito.
Michael J. Fox.

Willem DeFoe - He was in "The Aviator" with Leonardo DiCaprio who was in "Catch Me If You Can" with Tom Hanks who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with. . .((drum roll)). . .NATHAN FILLION!
"Whew!"
Totally Brilliant!
You are my hero!!!!!! :-) Glad you kicked butt!
Wayne Brady....I wanna see if you can get the shortest route ;-) And...GO!
Ha... me.
If you read my blog (and I know you did) you know i was in a movie as an extra, uncredited.
Yes, I'm taxing your brain. Since I need the hit, it was my replay of your Movie of My Life...
Enjoy :)
WG
http://itsmynd.com
JENNIE - Thank you! I obviously have waaaaaay too much time on my hands.
SCOTT - You be famous, Baby!
C.V. - Wayne Brady played Neil Patrick Harris' brother on "How I Met Your Mother". NPH, as we know, was in "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog" with Mr. Ruggedly Handsome. :)
Hot damn, girlfriend! You got some MAD Nathan Knowledge.

Ok, I was just going to stand here and applaud, but I can't resist.
Rudolph Valentino
JENNIE - Well, I will give you ONE shout out before I hit the road. John Travolta was in "Hairspray" with Michelle Pfeiffer who was in "One Fine Day" with George Clooney who was in "Ocean's Eleven" with Matt Damon who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan Fillion. ;-)

Elvis Presley: Early in their careers, Elvis and Andy Griffith sang together as the 'Elvis adn Andy Connection' on the Steve Allen show. Andy then went on to star in the movie "Waitres". which featured a young and ruggedly handsome actor named Nathon Fillion.
NINJA - Had to throw one last "Holla" at you before I check out for the night. ;-)
Jen - your obsessive knowledge about NF and complete overuse of the Saving Private Ryan link is absolutely fucking brilliant. I always thought that I was awesome at this game, but I tip my hat and bow down to your sheer awesomeness. Now if I may add a name to your list:
Vin Diesel
VON - Whoops! Rudolph Valentino was in "A Night at the Movies" with Jackie Coogan whose grandson Keith Coogan was in "Cousins" with Ted Danson who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan Fillion. "Whoot! Whoot!"
JENNY - First, I must say "thank you". Secondly, I must sat Vin Diesel = Samuel L. Jackson in "XXX" = "Snakes on a Plane" with Julianna Margolies = George Clooney (ER connection) in "Ocean's Eleven" = Matt Damon in "Saving Private Ryan" = N-A-T-H-A-N F-I-L-L-I-O-N.
God damn.
I have a tribute lined up for today's post.
I knew you'd win, although I was hoping Shia or Elvis would trip you the fuck up.
I bow to your awesome fucking knowledge of Nathan.
TINA - OK, here goes...
Cary Guffey: Was in the miniseries "North and South" with Kirstie Alley who was on "Cheers" with Ted Danson who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan Fillion.

Whitney Houston: Was in "The Bodyguard" with Kevin Costner who was in "Field of Dreams" with Gaby Hoffman who was in "Now & Then" with Rita Wilson whowas in "Sleepless in Seattle" with Tome Hanks who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan Fillion.
Hmm! Interesting... here's hoping this stumps you...
Margaret Sullavan
Audrey Hepburn
Grace Kelly
... and.... GO!
Is it really bad that I don't actually know who Nathan Fillion is?
Please don't judge me....
JANENE -
Margaret Sullavan: Was in "It Had to be You" with Jimmy Stewart who was in "It's a Wonderful Life" with Andy Griffith who was in "Waitress" with Nathan Fillion.
Grace Kelly: Was in "Rear Window" with Jimmy Stewart who was in "It's a Wonderful Life" with Andy Griffith who was in "Waitress" with Nathan Fillion.
Audrey Hepburn: Was in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with Buddy Ebsen who was on the "Andy Griffith" show with Andy Griffith who was in "Waitress" with Nathan Fillion.
BAM!
Snoop Dogg.
I had to do it.
PISSPOT - It is bad. . .it is very bad indeed.
ALLY- Snoop was in "Old School" with Luke Wilson who was in "Rushmore" with Jason Schwarzman who is on "Bored to Death" with Ted Dansson who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan Fillion.
And THAT, is the schizzle fo' rizzle, my bizzle.
Oh my God, I am in love with both of you. And in awe of your Nathan Fillion Kevin Bacon skills. Although it does help when said actor is in something like Saving Private Ryan because ENSEMBLE CAST FOR THE WIN.
I bow to your superiority. And I think you let her off too easy with the collage.
I'm impressed as fucking hell right now. You truly are the High Priestess of Nathan.
haha.. despite your obvious mad skills, you completly missed Kevin Bacon train. He and Fillion BOTH were in the last year's Super by James Gunn (sick but wonderful movie). Rainn Wilson and Liv Tyler were there too for future ref. Sorry to butt in just thought it was hilarious that you knew such a crapload of info and missed this little tidbit hehe. Keep being awesome!
ANDI - It better be one damned fine collage. I expect the best -- Jess had the mad craftin' skillz, yo.
JENNIE - Hear! Hear!
CORPOREAL - (("sigh!")) I know! I actually woke up this morning and had an a-ha moment. . .actually it was more of a yelling in the middle of Starbucks "Holy fuckballs, how could I forget 'SUPER'!?!?" moment. I am so ashamed.
Ronald Reagan?
TIFFANY - Good one!
Ronald Reagan was in "That Hagen Girl" with Harry Davenport who was in "Dragnet" with Tom Hanks who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan Fillion.
please, please, please tweet this to Nathan!
Damn, woman. I bow in awe and wonderment at your fearsome knowledge, *touching forelock*.
I'm laughing so hard right now because I'm reading this........ while watching Castle. oh yeah.
My favourite part of this is that I read it, and all the comments, after getting linked to it by Mr Fillion himself.
Wouldn't this work even more spectacularly with Joss Whedon?
I would just like to point out that Stana Katic was in the third Librarian movie, not the second. ;)
Nathan Fillion @NathanFillion
Me: What about Super? Me and Bacon together. You: Shut UUUuuuuUUuup.
he tweeted that :p
With your level of knowledge (and IMDB for cheaters), wouldn't it be more of a challenge for the connection to count *only* if the two actors are in the same scene together?
*evil laugh*
I am impressed! :D
There's another route for the Zach Galifinakis one, too.
He was in “Bored Too Death” with Jason Schwarzman, who was in “Marie Antoinette” with Kirsten Dunst, who was in “Bring It On” with Eliza Dushku. who was on Buffy with...Nathan Fillion. :D
...a lot of competition. O_O
I was just going to mention that, for Zach Galifinakis, Zach was in "The Muppets" with Neil Patrick Harris.
NPH is a goldmine for getting to Nathan Fillion. As is his wonderful role in "Saving Private Ryan" (which I can't watch anymore without giggling about it being Nathan Fillion).
But I suppose I'm supposed to submit a challenge, so...
Grace Kelly.
This. Is. Awesome.
BTW - Another George Clooney route (which was the first I thought of) - is George Clooney via Batman&Robin to Alicia Silverstone, via Blast From The Past - Nathan Fillion. He was her ex-boyfriend LOL
Miley Cyrus.
Nathan was kind enough to notice and Tweet about it today:
NathanFillion Me: What about Super? Me and Bacon together. You: Shut UUUuuuuUUuup. http://portlandiamom.blogspot.com/2012/02/conversations-with-jess-six-degrees-of.html
Vin Diesel was actually in Saving Private Ryan....if you want to save a few steps. Hahaha.
You can actually skip the E.R. to The Librarian step in many of these as Stana Katic actually made a guest appearance on E.R. as a coma victim who woke up...and then tragically slipped back into a coma.
S.R - Grace Kelly was in "Rear Window" with Jimmy Stewart who was in "It's a Wonderful Life" with Andy Griffith who was in "Waitress" with Nathan Fillion.
ROBIN - You are the bomb-dot-com; another exemplary connection for the win!
MICHAEL - Miley Cyrus was in "The Last Song" with Kelly Preston who is married to Tom Hanks (and co-starred with him in "Sleepless In Seattle") who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan Fillion. ;)
KELSEY & TV JUNKIE - I bow down in homage to your freaking awesomeness! :)
This is amazing!
Christopher Sarandon
Bill Nighy
Bette Midler
Tim Curry
That is truly impressive! What about...
George Takei?
I second Sarah-Rose. Also, this might well be the best post I've seen this year.
For an actor... I submit Raoul Bova. Oh! And Sofia Vergara. Just cuz.
By the by, the Vin Diesel one is actually much easier than you made it. Vin is one of the EIGHTEEN BILLION people in Saving Private Ryan. :P
Girl you ROCK!!! This is most awesome! I am bookmarking this so I can check out updates!
I love this.
Also on Bring it On with Kirstin Dunst was Eliza Dushku. Who was on Buffy the vampire slayer with Nathan.
Ok, try with French guys :
Jean Dujardin
Gérard Depardieu
Romain Duris
Alain Delon
Louis De Funes
And bonus track (easy) : Quentin Tarantino.
Oh and Uma Thurman, David Carradine, Christoph Walz and Bruce Lee.
Don't forget the Star Trek connections via Michael Dorn and Penny Jordan being on Castle now. That's your gold mine. Of course, you could also connect him to Star Trek through NPH and John Cho. Using Star Trek and George Takei you can get to John Wayne (Green Berets). Using the NPH/John Cho connection you can get to Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp, thereby opening up another world of opportunities or Anton Yelsin/Simon Pegg to David Tennant and the Doctor Who pantheon or Chris Pine back to Bill Pullman/Sandra Bullock/Alan Rickman/Transformers cast. LOL. I amuse myself at work playing the game with Star Trek instead of any particular actor, obviously.
OK. . .I had NO idea that Nathan would re-tweet this so I am sadly unequipped to repond to everything tonight. So, post your comments/challenges and I will do my best tomorrow.
JEN - thanks! I'm a Fillion fan too!
BTW - I'm also a huge animation fan. If you use his voice acting, it will help a lot with some of the suggestions you're getting, especially George Takei and Tim Curry :-) But I'm gonna leave that to your awesomeness!
Nathan Fillion@NathanFillion
Me: What about Super? Me and Bacon together. You: Shut UUUuuuuUUuup.
10:53 PM - 20 Feb 12
You should have to specify an actor who was in both Bring It On and the sequel.
Ok - because I love things in threes ... Takeshi Kaneshiro. :X
Although I don't know if this one should count since he's said he doesn't really do [or want to do] Hollywood films...
Holy amazeballs! Found your post through The Man himself and have been endlessly amused. I submit for your approval:
Humphrey Bogart
Bruce Lee
Jackie Chan
Natalie Wood
Ingrid Bergman
Thanks to Rainn Wilson, the Office - Ed Helms (1 step), the Hangover - Bradley Cooper (2 steps) and the A-Team - Liam Neeson (3rd step) - Nathan is now closely linked to Star Wars (both Trilogies thanks to K-19 the Widowmaker, Harrison Ford), Batman (and thus EVERYTHING thanks to Michael Caine).
With that Zak tie-in, you don't have to back door the sequel for the Kirsten Dunst connection, which opens up all manner of Tropic Thunder links.
After reading all this Im more of the opinion this game should be six degrees of Saving Private Ryan
Very impressive!
A few tidbits to aid you as well...
Zach Galifinakis was in the short lived tv show "Tru Calling" with Eliza Dushku, who obviously was on "Buffy" with Nathan.
And also, Samuel L Jackson was in "The Spirit" which Stana Katic was also in...
It's pretty unbelievable. Minnie Pearl (!) has a Nathan Fillion number of 2.
Umm. . .I honestly had no idea this would reach this depth. Shit. . .Either way, I am both honored and disturbed to have met y'all. :)
Amazing!!!!
May I add Sam Neil to the list :o)
Kevin Bacon is way easier if you do Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks....
Such a good post, glad it's found its way to the masses :-)
I wanna see you try Bill Nye the science guy!
Hate to break it to you but Andy Griffith not in It's a Wonderful Life.
I don't disbelieve but cannot for the life of me remember Andy Griffith in "It's a Wonderful Life" so would someone please help me out? I asked IMDB & couldn't find him there, but I've submitted corrections so I know it's not perfect.
BTW, here from Mr. Nathan's tweet & would like to join the sister-wife thing, esp if the RDJ-sharing I have set up with another blogger doesn't come through (or on weekends, whatever). I'm sure my husband and children won't mind.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you!
That was a blast!
HMG
@Jen In the words of Snoopy, "Curse you Red Baron!"
I couldn't be bothered to go through ever comment so if this is previously mentioned, oopsie.
Stana Katic is actually in the third Librarian movie, not the second.
Also, my roommate and I have done this with Joss Whedon. We've decided all things lead to Joss. So it brightens my day knowing we aren't the only oddballs around.
I'd offer you a challenge but I can link everyone that comes to mind to Joss and therefore Nathan.
<3
Ho-ly shit, maja.
I know what you'll be doing at work today!
I love this.
Ugh.. Nathan Fillion took the same issue with your post as I did.. Only I was the first!
!!!!!!!
Ugh...
Here is some hilarious footage of Comicon panel for Super by the way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=442ftswG3Ng

Two names, if you get these, you really know your connections.
Rowan Atkinson
Charlie Chaplin
LIMECELLO-
Takeshi Kaneshiro was in "Too Tired To Die" with Jeffrey Wright who was in "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" with Tom Hanks who was in Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan Fillion.
INKSTAINED-
I think we've already done Humphrey Bogart, Jackie Chan, and Bruce Lee, but for the others...

Ingrid Bergman: HER daughter was in "Cousins" with Ted Danson who was in "Saving Private Ryan with Nathan Fillion.

Good lord, y'all!
Hope you didn't have any plans for the rest of the week, Jen. You know, like work or anything. Too bad you don't get compensation for just being your awesome self.
I am dense about Twitter. I get that NF is the "Me:" talking about Super, but who is the "You?" And who said Shut up? Like I said . . . Dense.
Just to point out
Kevin Bacon was in Wild Things with Matt Dillion
Matt Dillion was in my Bodyguard with Adam Baldwin
Who was in Firefly with Nathan Fillion
I won't add to your work list, I just wanted to say thanks for this! It totally made my morning :-). Your Rock!
You people are seriously rocking my damned world. So. Much. Nathan. Love!
And, Misty, I will get your sorry ass on Twitter come Hell or high water, my dear.
PS: I haven't forgotten about the Bill Nye conection. He did a voice over in "Back To The Future: The Animated Series" with Mary Steenburgen who is married to Ted Danson who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan Fillion. BAM!
Twitter = Ain't gonna happen.
Deal with it!
"Frank Sinatra: He was in "Cannonball Run II" with Jackie Chan who was in "The Tuxedo" with Jennifer Love Hewitt who was in "Can't Hardly Wait" with Seth Green who was on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" with Nathan."
Actually, you might have to add a name, like Sarah Michelle Gellar or someone else from Buffy, since Seth Green left "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" during the fourth season, and Nathan Fillion was only on it in the seventh season. ;)
I bow to your awesomeness
Easier Bill Nye connection. He did a guest shot on Numb3rs which starred David Krumholtz, Mr. Universe from Serenity.
Holy Freakin' Hell!!!! HE tweeted YOUR blog?!?!?! This is insane!!! And so VERY COOL ;-)
I always knew you'd be a ROCKSTAR someday.....
Oh....I've got another one....Celine Dion. If you get that one, you will be the coolest person on the planet! (And yes, she has been in a few Canadian movies)
If you connect Nathan to Adam Baldwin first, you've got a gold mine. Mr B has been acting since he was 17 and has worked with practically EVERYBODY [GG]. X Files, Chuck, Independence Day, etc, etc, etc...
Through Jewel Staite you can link to a huge swathe of Canadian TV/films.
Gina Torres was in The Matrix films, along with Angel, Xena, Cleopatra 2525 and a heap of other credits.
Ron Glass' career goes back a way as well.
Alan Tudyk has been in a significant number of movies/shows and will link you with the sadly late Heath Ledger, amongst others.
Nathan and two other Firefly alumni were in Desperate Housewives. Nathan was also in Lost.
I forgot who you linked Seth Green to Can't Hardly Wait, but Tamala Jones is also in that movie :)
And I don't think you have the right name for Miley Cyrus's connection, you said Kelly Preston who is married to tom hanks, but she is married to John Travolta. :)

ANONYMOUS - Just watched "Can't Hardly Wait" the other day and was thinking. . .wait. . .what? Is that Lanie? "She is SO not Gwyneth!"
This is awesome. So I'm gonna try my hand at a challenge.
Lucille Ball?
ALLYSON - Lucille Ball was in the original "Yours, Mine and Ours" with a teenaged Tim Matheson who was in "Animal House" with Kevin Bacon (and me...I was an extra in the parade scene), who was in "Super" with Nathan Fillion.
I'll try it : what about Roy Dupuis, a French Canadian actor? :p
MYLENE - Roy Dupuis was on the TV series "La Femme Nikita" with Peta Wilson who was in "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" with Sean Connery, who was in "Robin Hood" with Morgan Freeman who was in "Se7en" with Brad Pitt who was in "Ocean's Eleven" with Matt Damon who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan Fillion.
I would love to see something end with One Life To Live!
ANONYMOUS-
Ooh! The last one would work! Roy Dupuis was on the TV series "La Femme Nikita" with Peta Wilson who was in "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" with Sean Connery, who was in "The Presidio" with Meg Ryan who (along with Nathan Fillion) was on "One Life to Live"! :)
Roy Dupuis was in Screamers with Ron White, who was in Strange and Rich with Nathan Fillion.
Oops! Just realized that I missed a few -- sorry!

You have some of these tied together with Andy Griffith in "It's a Wonderful Life"? Who was Andy in IAWL? I don't recall him in it, and apparently IMDb doesn't either.
Andy had a miniscule and uncredited role in IAWL as the bartender.
They gmhave to be actors and bug name right?
Jean Dujardin
Henry Fonda
Lauren Bacall.
If you do it I will be beyond impressed. I am already stunned.
Jean Dujardin: Was in "The Artist" with James Cromwell who was in "The Green Mile" with Tom Hanks who was in "Private Ryan" with Nathan Fillion.
Henry Fonda:Was in "On Golden Pond" with Jane Fonda who was in "Georgia Rule" with Felicity Huffman who was on "Desperate Housewives" with Nathan Fillion.
Lauren Bacall: Was in "All I Want For Christmas" with Jamey Sheridan who was in "The Stand" with Gary Sinise who was in "Forrest Gump" with Tom Hanks who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan.
Yay! Nathan noticed your blog and tweeted it!
Okay. I got one for you:
Rudolph. Valentino.
GO!
Kim Kardashian
Paul hogan
Henry Cavill
Emily VanCamp
Michael Jordan
Rudolph Valentino was in "A Night at the Movies" with Jackie Coogan whose grandson Keith Coogan was in "Cousins" with Ted Danson who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan Fillion. "Whoot! Whoot!"
I love this so much. My best friend showed this to me and we spent al day playing it. We haven't lost yet.
First of all:
http://chan.catiewayne.com/b/src/131729440471.gif
Okay...how about these:
Jack Black
Sting
Josh Groban
Go for it!
Okay, does any of the stars of "The Littlest Hobo" have a connection?
London The Dog
(both series)
Toro The Dog
(original series)
Litlon The Dog
(original series)
Thorn The Dog
(original series)
Not sure about the Andy Griffith/It's a Wonderful Life connection...IMDB has a bunch of other uncredited bartenders listed but not Mr. Griffiths. However Nick the Bartender was played by Sheldon Leonard (awesome name, right?) who produced "The Andy Griffith Show"...just add an extra step in there and it still works.
DANIEL-
Kim Kardashian: Was on "CSI:NY" with Gary Sinise who was in "Forrest Gump" with Tom Hanks who was in "Private Ryan" with Nathan.
Paul hogan: Was in "Ali" with Will Smith who was in "Legend of Bagger Vance" with Matt Damon who was in "Private Ryan" with Nathan.

Josh Groban: Was in "Crazy, Stupid, Love" with Emma Stone who was in "Drive" with Nathan.
Okay - you just blew my mind with all these connections. Especially Sting. That was awesome.
I was thinking about it after I sent that post to you - AND then I remembered Jack Black was on an episode of the X-Files!!
So Jack Black was in the X-Files, as was Adam Baldwin (the man they call Jayne)...in Firefly/Serenity with Captain Tightpants Fillion.
On my blog I make a bunch of Firefly/Fillion references too. Nice to "meet" another nerd like me. I'm also having fun reading the rest of your blog. Take care!
ROBIN- You are fabulous on levels as yet untapped. :) I'm actually not your typical NF nerd...the whole thing started with...well, let's just say there is a blog post pending that will link my blog's inception with the Fillion-Fest that it has randomly incurred.
PS: When you referenced "X Files"? Seriously? You got about 189,542 extra street-cred points in my book. Best. Show. EVER!
Okay. Totally stumping you now!
Clara Bow
MARYC-
Clara Bow was in 1933's "Hoopla" with Richard Cromwell who was married to Angela Lansbury who was in "Mr. Popper's Penguins" with David Krumholz who was in "Serenity" with Nathan Fillion.
This is really cool, but I did want to point out that you mentioned Kelly Preston being married to Tom Hanks. Kelly Preston is married to John Travolta, and Tom Hanks is married to Rita Wilson. But I don't think that will make your connections not work.
This is great, found this blog while I was doing a little cyber stalking myself of Mr. Fillion, on twitter. Have you seen the movie Super? It has both Nathan and Kevin Bacon which is awesome. Also nice to see a fellow Portlander who loves all things Nathan and X-Files.
JEN:
I loved the X-Files! I've always said that whenever I get a cat and a dog I'm gonna name them Mulder and Scully!
Well look at this - Nathan Fillion forging internet friendships LOL. He's a bit new to me too - I knew him from Dr. Horrible long before I watched Firefly, which was this past summer when I was home sick for a while. That's when we truly bonded LOL!
Looking forward to reading your story. Take care!
So it took me forever to get to the end of the comments... I may have to consider a replacement in my trifecta of gus. (Damn, still need to write that!)
You = Goddess of all things entertainment!
Hi!
Got here via the Indiana Browncoats-page on FB.
Enjoyed the blog and the comments and would like to add four more names. They might not be linkable to The Fillionaire, but it would still be fun.
Here they are:
Gerd Fröbe
Til Schweiger
Horst Bucholz
Hardy Krüger
They all are Germans and were in Hollywood films, if that helps.
GERD FROBE- Was in "Goldfinger" with Sean Connery who was in "The Presidio" with Meg Ryan who appeared on "One Life to Live", as did our beloved Nathan Fillion.
TIL SCWEIGER- Was in "Inglorious Basterds" with Brad Pitt who was in "Ocean's Eleven" with Matt Damon, who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathsn Fillion.
HORST BUCHOLZ - Was on the 1970's TV series "Logan's Run" with Robert Moffat who was in "Cookie's Fortune" with Liv Tyler, who was in "Super" with Nathan Fillion.
HARDY KRUGER - Was in the 80's miniseries "War & Remembrance" with Jane Seymour, who played Gloria Chambers on the 'One Life to Lose' episode of "Castle", starring Nathan Fillion.
Welcome from Indiana, Bard. Glad to have you here!
Christopher Walken...
LESLI - Christopher Walken was in "Catch Me If You Can" with Tom Hanks who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan Fillion. And don't you think Christopher Walken would be PERFECT as Rick's dad on "Castle"?
Johnny Galecki
I also think what you do is awesome. I'm a huge NF fan.
BRANDI - You rock! Love to meet NF fans. :) Johnny Galecki was in "I Know What You Did Last Summer" with Sarah Michelle Geller who was in "Buffy" with Nathan. Holla!
Oh wow!!
See? I didn't know Til Schweiger was in Inglorious Basterds, I only remembered him in King Arthur, Hardy Krueger in Hatari and Horst Bucholz from the Magnificent Seven. Learned something new today!
Shiny! :D
Just have to mention, Henry Cavill was not in the recent red riding hood starring amanda seyfried, but was in fact in the 2007 remake, with Lainie Kazan, and Joey Fatone.
Just thought of one now, Jen, months later:
Pat Sajak
JANENE - Pat Sajak was in "Airplane 2" with Lloyd Bridges who was in "Joe Versus the Volcano" with Tom Hanks who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan Fillion. BAM! :)
Wow, this is impressive. I didn't even know Nathan was in some of those.
Okay, try this:
Christopher Plummer
Martin Short
Michael J. Fox
Hugh Dillon
Margot Kidder
ANONYMOUS -
*Christopher Plummer was in "Dragnet" with Tom Hanks who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan Fillion
*Martin Short AND Michael J. Fox were both in "Mars Attacks" with Jack Nicholson who was in "A Few Good Men" with Kevin Bacon who was in "Super" with Nathan Fillion
*Hugh Dillon was in "Assault on Precinct 13" with Laurence Fishburne who was in "What's Love Got To Do With It" with Penny Johnson Gerald who plays Capt. Gates on "Castle" with Nathan Fillion
*Margot Kidder was in "The Great Waldo Pepper" with Robert Redford who was in "The Horse Whisperer" with Scarlett Johansson who was in "We Bought a Zoo" with Matt Damon who was in "Saving Private Ryan" with Nathan Fillion
LOL!!!! I can't believe you got Margot Kidder in there. I knew you'd get Hugh Dillon, though that's not the route I expected. How do you do it?
ANONYMOUS - I'm a doctoral student and single mom, which means that I am a veritable font of useless information with no social life outside of hulu and NetFlix. :)
