Seven Degrees of Seperation

Uhm, that'll be pretty difficoult if we follow the original rules of the
Bacon game. I've never been in any movies, so I wouldn't qualify in any
way. However, if we include people I've met, then I guess my shortest route
would go through football players. I've met Ole Gunnar Solskjær, who plays
in Manchester United with David Beckham, who were in Comic Relief's Say

The only one I can find right now for me relies on allowing TV, then it's:

Phillippa Forrester who appeared in 2000 Today with:
Lenny Henry who was in Comic Relief Short Pants with Daniel Radcliffe.
I'll keep thinking if I can get to someone who's been in a movie and get it
that way.

Ooh! Ooh! I've got it! I put "Sheena" and "Max von Sydow" into Google, which
got me your surname quite quickly. So, assuming you're related to ***** who
had something to do with Harold and Maude, and he got you a walk-on part in
there, then we're away:
Sheena was in Harold and Maude with Eric Christmas
Eric Christmas was in Ed and His Dead Mother with Miriam Margolyes, who
plays Prof Sprout.
All quite fun - I think I could really get into stalking people like this!
Sorry if you feel infringed and violated, but you did suggest it first!
Right. Well, I've never been in a film, but I did appear briefly in the
background of one playground shot in a 1992 TV drama called Underbelly.
Someone called David Hayman (sadly spelt differently from the Harry Potter
producer) was also in Underbelly, apparently.
And then David Hayman was in The Tailor of Panama with Daniel Radcliffe!
Wow. I feel important.

Anyway - there are webpages that does this automatically, so it's not
much of a challenge.
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/oracle/star_links.html
If you want a challenge, you'd want to find an actor that requires as
many steps as possible. This actually turns out to be pretty difficoult.
Luckily, there are people in HP that hasn't been in any other movies.
e.g. Emma Watson has been in both HP movies, but nothing else. This means
that to link any actor to Emma, you'll have to pass through HP, so that
actor requires one less step to HP than to Emma.
Now, the star links page has a nice feature that tells us exactly how
many people that requires how many steps to get linked to Emma Watson,
which is pretty helpful here.
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/cgi-bin/oracle/center-cgi?who=Watson%2c+Emma+%
28II%29
HP Watson # of
num Number People
0 0 1 - Emma herself
0 1 89 - The cast of both HP movies
1 2 18167
2 3 334493
3 4 204394
4 5 16509
5 6 1656
6 7 239
7 8 34
8 9 8
So, as you see, Finding somebody that requires more than 3 jumps to get
connected to Harry Potter is pretty difficoult. And it's impossible to
get more than 8.
OK - Here's the challenge: Who can find an actor or actress with a HP
number of 5 (Watson number of 6) or higher? (BTW: Adolf Hitler has an HP
number of 2)

Erm ... I have a letter from David Heyman asking me to contact the FX
team of PoA (I've declined the invitation as I'm too deeply involved
with my own film at this time and will be for some time to come. Mind
... I've also declined working on Star Wars III and a number of other
projects floating around at the moment - my own film's far too important
to me).
If it's any consolation, I've had one-on-one business dealings with Dave
Scott (the commander of Apollo 15, and the seventh man to walk on the
Moon). He was advisor to Ron Howard for the movie "Apollo 13" (as well
as the more recent HBO TV series "From the Earth to the Moon"), and
dealt extensively with Kevin Bacon (who played Jack Swigert).
An odd series of connections for those who want to play the game ... but
there you go.

Absolutely, and it's a lot harder than the numbers would suggest. I mean,
we're trying to find somebody that are among 0,34% of the people that can
be linked to Harry Potter. It's just above a third of a percent. Doesn't
sound that hard... I guess the unlinkable actors contribute a lot to the
difficoulty. I've found loads of those.

Good one. So that's one actor with a Potter number of 5.
I also discovered that I hadn't followed my path to the end, so that my 4
actually leads to a 5.

I was just browsing old movies, and I stumbled upon a historical movie
with King Edward VII, who had a Watson number of 5. I didn't really think
much of it then, but it occured to me that he'd probably only have been
in similar historical movies, and he might have been in some with others
that also have only been in historical movies. So I was really just
hoping for a Watson number of 6, but somehow I found a 7 instead :)
Hmm, wait a minute...
Noooooooo!
I knew there was something funny about this. It seems that Tsar Nikolai
is registered with two names in IMDb. He's also registered as Tsar
Nicolas II, who has a Watson number of 6 :-(
Good thing I've found another 7 :-)
The Oracle says: Empress Augusta Victoria has an Emma (II) Watson number
of 7.
Empress Augusta Victoria was in Opening of the Kiel Canal (1895) with
Kaiser Wilhelm II
Kaiser Wilhelm II was in Queen Victoria's Funeral [Number 3] (1901) with
King Edward VII
King Edward VII was in Coronation of Their Majesties King Edward VII and

About the only way I could possibly manage it would be via Michael Sheard,
an actor who ended up portraying Hitler in a number of BBC productions, as
well as the Evil Empire admiral that Darth Vader force-choked in _The
Empire Strikes Back_.
He was invited (and came to) Technicon (Virginia Tech's SF Club convention
http://www.technicon.org), guess who runs medical support for that con? He
was a wonderful guest and quite a personable fellow. I'm surprised they
didn't try to pick him up for a bit part or six in HP. A Dumbledore he's
not, but I could think of a few characters he'd portray well.

Hah! Finally. The link is tenuous, but here goes - a local actor called
Dicken Ashworth once had a drink in my local pub (whilst I was also in the
pub, of course). He was in King of the Wind with Richard Harris in 1989,
who of course was Dumbledore.

of one because you've seen the movie! You could also get a connection if you

So this is just meeting rather than "appearing with" (I've had varying
stories on how this game works... one person even claims it has to be
"slept with")? In that case:
My father played golf with Bill Clinton,
who was interviewed by Leonardo DiCaprio,
who appeared in Gangs of New York with Brendan Gleeson,
who appeared in The Tailor of Panama with Daniel Radcliffe.

(A late reply, but I've been away from Usenet for a few weeks, and I'm
just starting to catch up.)
With the help of http://www.cs.virginia.edu/oracle/star_links.html,
I've found out that I'm 3 steps away from some of the actors in the
HP-movies.
E.g: Kenneth Branagh and Mark Williams were in _Shackleton_ with Bjørn
Floberg, who was in _Sophie's World_ with my first cousin once removed
(is that the correct expression? In Norwegian it's just "mother's (or
father's) cousin"). And Robbie Coltrane was in _Defence of the Realm_
with Mark Tandy, who was also in _Sophie's World_.

That's the correct expression. Your parent's first cousin is your first
cousin once removed. If that first cousin had a child, that child would be
your second cousin. And so on. Technically my "Aunt Nancy" up in
Taxachussets is really my first cousin once removed, as she is my father's
cousin, but I was never allowed to call her "Cousin Nancy" which used to be
the proper salutation for cousins you didn't know or know very well or were
well senior to you in age.
Having family in the DAR (which is big on genealogy), you tend to learn

Thanks. I wasn't sure if it was correct both ways (up and down through

We call that "third[something untranslatable]", and fourth- and so on.

I used to call one of my father's cousins and his wife uncle and aunt,
because I used to spend a lot of time with them and that was kind of
relationship we had (we've lost touch in the last few year).
All the others (the few that I've ever met] I call by first name.
Which is also usual among cousins, btw, there's very little "cousin
x". Indeed I've started to drop "aunt" and "uncle" as well, but I
don't know how common that is, and my brother and my cousins still use
them (though they're all still children).
