You've heard of 'Six degrees of Separation' which led to the 'Six degrees of Kevin Bacon'. Let's take a few moments now to ponder JJ Abrams. Amazing guy. Really. He's given us some of today's greatest TV shows. Felicity, Alias, Lost, What About Brian. Not to mention the movies; Forever Young, Joyride (Candy Cane), MI:III, and Cloverfield. In the entertainment world I think we should be able to work our way back to JJ Abrams in 6 moves or less. But it's JJ Abrams, so even if it took a few more, he's worth it! For Example - let's start w/ Kevin Bacon, yeah?
Kevin Bacon was in Pictures Perfect w/ Jennifer Aniston who was on Friends wear Tom Selleck's character Richard (Monica's older boyfriend) had a son, in which Monica actually went on a date w/, who was played by Michael Vartan who was on Alias, Mr.Abrams most AMAZING work.
We can also get to him through Hillary Duff (I thought this one might be more challenging).
HD was on Raise your Voice w/ British cutie pie Oliver James, who was in What a Girl Wants with Kelly Preston who was an ex-girlfriend in that fairly unbelievably cheesy movie Jerry McGuire to Tom Cruise who actually asked Jeffrey to write the third installment of the Mission Impossible series And we all must agree the 3rd is most definitely the best of the 3 movies!
Now you go . . .

Loved the post but I'm just not smart enough to figure this whole thing out. I had this whole thing going on in my head about Bones being one of Keith and I's favorite show and David Boreanaz being on Bones. He was also in both BTVS and Angel with Charisma Carpenter and Allison Hannigan who both played on Veronica Mars which JJ Abrams guest starred on but then I realized that it wasn't JJ Abrams who guest starred but Joss Whedon who did both BTVS and Angel. So as you can see, I suck at this game!
so how about he was married the same year I was and he had a daughter the same year I did and he is 5'7" the same height as Keith?
Cheesy movie?! What!
B3 - Please don't tell me you like that movie!
BTW - NO cheating! You can't use IMDB to guide you to JJ!
So you want to David Boreanez?
Here goes . . .
In the first season of Bones, Booth was dating a blonde (Lindsay may have been her name-o) she also guest starred on the TV show Numbers (the polygomy one) where Larry (real name ?) is a regular. He was also on the show Ally McBeal with Calista Flockhart who is currently on the show Brothers and Sisters starring w/ a whole slew of JJAbrams actors. Ron Rifkin, Patricia Wettig, Bathezzar Getty, of Alias and Sarah Jane Morris of Felicity.

How was that????
Here try an easy one. Do Dennis Haysbert.
You were on the right track ...
You can go David B to Allison Hannigan both on BTVS. AH is now on HIMYM girlfriend,finance',wife of Marshal - Jason Segal who guest starred on Alias. The eppy where she is in Germany or Switzerland and he works at a bar and she takes advantage of him to get his keycard and almost gets him killed and then he has to go into witness protection or get a new identity or something. This brings us to JJ Abrams.
should I start with the unit or with 24?
let me think .......................................................................................
oh that was way too easy . . . . .
he stars with scott foley on the unit who played on phelicity which was done by jj abrams
also scott foley was married to jennifer garner who had a couple of appearances on phelicity and then starred on Alias - the greatest show of all time which was done by JJ Abrams!
Jim Carrey to JJ Abrams go . . .
Jim Carrey was on Bruce Almighty w/ Catherine Bell who was on JAG w/ Web (who was Rex on Desperate Houswives)and also guest starred as the West Wing (as either the Secretary of State or the Speaker of the House) w/ Rob Lowe who is also on Brothers and Sisters which in turn brings us back to Ron Rifkin (and others) who is Abrams greatest bad guy actor!
How was that?
Can you do - Bon Jovi?
That works!
I was thinking -
Jim Carrey was on In Living Color with Jennifer Lopez who dated Ben Affleck who is now married to Jennifer Garner who is JJ Abrams greatest kick-ass, adorably cute heroine!
Or J. Lo was in the movie Monster-in-Law with Michael Vartan who starred in JJ Abrams' Alias!
Bon Jovi was in that submarine movie with Matthew McConaughy who dated Penelope Cruz who was in a movie (and good friends) with the girl who played Sydney Bristow's sister on Alias.
I was thinking that Jon (Bon Jovi) is a band member w/Richie Sambora, was was married to Heather Locklear who was on Melrose Place with Doug Savant who also guest starred on NCIS which stars Michael Weatherly who was once on a very disturbingly boring TV show w/ Jennifer Garner and Jen = JJ, Right!
I don't know In Living Color at all. I would never have come up with that.
Meg Ryan - GO.
I just want you to know that JJ was in the movie 6 degrees of Seperation. He also produced the TV show Six Degrees. I really hope that they put that on DVD soon.
hmmm. . . . .
Meg Ryan, Meg Ryan, Meg Ryan,
Meg Ryan was in three movies with Tom Hanks - Joe Versus the Volcano, Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail. Tom Hanks was in the movie Catch Me If You Can, which Jennifer Garner had a small role in and JG = JJ A!
Lauren Graham - Go
LG was in Because I said so w/ Mandy Moore who was in Chasing Liberty. Her father in the movie Mark Harmon was in Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan who was in Just My Luck with a guy whose real name I don't know (he was in Princess Diaries II). This guy is playing Captain Kirk in the upcoming JJ Abrams project a remake of Star Trek!
Can you do Bernie Mac?
Very nice - I had no idea how'd you'd connect LG (hey did you ever realize that her real name and GG's name had the same initials?) to JJ Abrams but you did it!!! Splendid!!!!
Bernie Mac is too easy -
Bernie Mac is in all three Ocean's movies - Ocean's 11, Ocean's 12 & Oceans 13 (which we just watched the other day). Casey Affleck is also in all three of these movies and his sister-in-law is . . . . .
you guessed it Jennifer Garner and where JG is there you find JJ A!
So let's see . . .
Lisa Bennet - go!
Whose that?
try Bill Cosby
You can call me the master after this! It was hard but . . .
Mr.Cosby to the oldest Cosby girl in Enemy of the State w/ Jason Lee who is in Alvin and the Chipmunks with Justin Long who is in Live Free or Die Hard with Bruce Willis who was in a movie JJ A wrote. Armegedon!
Take that!
- Vin Diesel -
that works
i was thinking that bill cosby was dad to lisa bennet on the cosby show. lisa bennet was married to lenny kravitz who dated nicole kidman who was once married to tom cruise who starred in MI:3 which is done by JJ A!
vin diesel was in the pacifier with lauren graham who we already knows leads to jj a!
sandra bullock?
Forces of Nature
Ben Affleck
Armegedon
Try John Cusack.
- I see you got the pic added. I love it -
John Cusack was in the movie Grosse Point Blank with Minnie Driver who was in the movie Hard Rain with Christian Slater. Chrisitan Slater was in the movie Interview with a Vampire with Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise was in the movie MI:3 which was done by JJ A!!!
Matthew Perry - Go!
Or how about Adam Sandler?
BTW - I'm getting good at this!
come on, come on - give me another one!!!!
Adam Sandler in 50 1st dates & the Wedding Singer with Drew Barrymore who is dating Justin Long who was in Ed with Carol Vessey - Julie Bowen who guest stars on LOST.
- Jack Nicholson -
Matthew Prry was on The Whole Nine Yards w/ Bonnie Sommerville who is in The Band from TV w/ Greg Grunberg from Felicity and Alias.
You are getting good so I will give you a HARD one.
-Angela Lansbury
Jack Nicholson was in Anger Management with Adam Sandler - and you just proved we could get to JJ A thru Adam Sandler.
Angela Lansbury had a guest appearance on Law & Order: SVU which stars Christopher Meloni. He was in Runaway Bride with Julie Roberts who was in the movie Dying Young with that main guy who actually starred in the TV show -Six Degrees!
Katherine Heigl?
BTW - I want you to know that I've stuck to your "no cheating" policy!!!
Katherin Heigel was in 27 Dresses w/ James Marsden who was in Superman Returns w/ Kate Bosworth who was in Blue Crush w/ Matthew Davis (hot guy) who was on What About Brian - JJ Abrams show.
Way to go on the no cheating. I don't have a clue who was on Six Degrees w/o looking except maybe Shiri Appleby. You think?
*********************************
Do you want more? I posted again. Although I still can't see it here.
How about LL Cool J.
LL Cool J was in the movie SWAT with Michelle Rodriguez (sp?) who played Ana Lucia on LOST.
Let's go for the obvious here . . . . . .
Kevin Bacon?
Can't do it huh?
Please see my original post!
Can you do Mickey Mouse?
Okay, well . . . . let's see!
Mickey Mouse was created by Walt Disney who founded Walt Disney Productions and Studios and Disneyland, etc, etc. So basically Walt Disney (the creator of Mickey Mouse) is indirectly related to anyone who has ever been in a Disney movie. Let's see who we've already connected JJ A with who has been in a Disney movie:
Angela Lansbury - Bednobs and Broomsticks
Tom Hanks - Toy Story 1 & 2
Hilary Duff - Lizzie McGuire
Lauren Graham - The Pacifier
Vin Diesel - The Pacifier
LL Cool J - sings Whose Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf on a Disney CD
I'm sure their is actually many more that I can't think of at the moment but on top of all that - JJ A's shows Alias, LOST, What About Brian and Six Degrees all appear on ABC which is owned by Disney Productions.
Viola!
Mickey Mouse to JJ Abrams!
As Ro would say . . . . . . . . .
DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
