I just read something recently about the old game of "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon," and I thought it might be fun to play "Six Degrees of Cillian Murphy" instead If anyone is unfamiliar with the game, you start by naming ANY actor or actress who comes to mind. Then, within no more than SIX progressions, you challenge others to make the work connection from that actor or actress to Cillian. Here is an example, so I will just name any actress: Jennifer Lopez 1. Jennifer Lopez starred with Ralph Fiennes in "Maid in Manhattan" 2. Ralph Fiennes starred with Liam Neeson in "Clash of the Titans" 3. Liam Neeson starred with Cillian in "Batman Begins" I guess there are points that can be assigned depending upon how many transitions it takes (the fewer the better), but we can just focus on the six degrees of separation between Cillian and every other actor out there. Once you solve the previous poster's challenge, you issue your own challenge by naming another actor or actress and letting others try to connect him/her within six or fewer links to Cillian. So my challenge to the next person is: Russell Brand

What an awesome game idea! But yes, I think I may have to use IMDb to cheat at times. 1. Zooey Deschanel starred with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 500 Days of Summer. 2. Joseph Gordon-Levitt starred with Cillian in Inception. Johnny Depp

On this one, I had to nearly completely use the IMDb. LOL. Good challenge! There were several "paths" to Cillian, this one was the shortest I found:
1) Summer Glau starred with Steve Zahn in The Legend of Hell's Gate.
2) Steve Zahn starred with Christian Bale in Rescue Dawn.
3) Christian Bale starred with Cillian in Batman Begins (funny how many of these end on that movie).
Peter Cushing.
