6 Degrees of F*R*I*E*N*D*S

[jackson13]

Alright, this is a new kind of FRIENDS game. Its like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, but instead of connecting any celeb on earth to Kevin, you connect any celeb on earth to a member of the cast (Courtney, Jennifer, Lisa, Matthew, Matt & David) of FRIENDS. Also, if you can, connect the person to an episode of FRIENDS that they guest starred in. Example: Ben Stiller

Ben stars in the new movie Along Came Polly with Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer is Rachel on FRIENDS.

Or:

Ben guest starred as The Screaming Guy in the episode 'The One with the Screamer', and he dated Rachel in that episode.


So, to start off, connect.........Jack Black.

[jeo4]

Jack Black co-starred in THE CABLE GUY with Jim Carrey. Jim starred as ACE VENTURA, PET DETECTIVE with Courtney Cox Arquette, who plays Monica on "Friends".

Is this what you are looking for, or do you want direct connections with the cast/show?

No, thats perfect. There are 2 ways to do it. The way you did, or, like with the Ben Stiller one, if someone was to say him, someone could just say Ben guest starred in...(the episode I mentioned). Heres another example: Brad Pitt. You could say "Brad was in Oceans Eleven with Julia Roberts who dated Matthew Perry in real life, and Matthew plays Chandler on Friends". Or you could just say 'Brad guest starred as Will on a thanksgiving episode of Friends."

[jeo4]

KEWL! This is a great idea. I hope the ball starts rolling quickly. We could match up so many people with this show, it could go on for years. :cool:
