Hi all--
You know the old "six degrees of separation" game people play?
I noticed something by accident and it gave me the idea to start a
game.
Connect Blade Runner to Law & Order in the fewest number of steps.
I'll reveal my answer after some guesses are made.
I'm sure many of you could come up with equally or more bizarre
connections from our movie to other shows.

Ok, this is going to end up very far-fetched. Blade Runner -> Androids
-> Lady Gaga (hmm... now why did I connect androids with her?) ->
Amanda Palmer (wrote a song about Gaga) -> Amanda's song Leeds United
which contains the line: "Who needs love when there's 'Law & Order?'" -
> Law & Order.

Another link is me. I've seen Blade Runner (bet that came as a
surprise...) and I've watched some episodes of Law & Order. Does that
count? :P

I *love* this game! I took a quick stab at it using IMDB, trying to
link actors, directors, et al. A short stay in the hospital due to a
venomous spider kept me from solving this one - SO KEEP THEM COMING!

Easy,

Benjamin Bratt was in Law and Order as Detective Rey Curtis from
95'-2009, and he was in 'Clear and Present Danger' in 94' With
Harrison Ford as Captain Ramirez. He was also in BR influenced
Demolition Man in 93'.

I knew there would be multiple correct possibilities.
The one I came up with is this:
M. Emmet Walsh and Jesse L. Martin were in an episode of the X-Files
entitled "The Unnatural." Walsh was in Blade Runner, Martin was
Detective Greene in Law & Order.
I'll try to come up with another clever degrees of separation. I
welcome questions from others.

"The Unnatural" is my favorite episode ever of "The X-Files". Good call.
