Magnum Mania!

Hello All,

Here's your chance to show off your Magnum P.I. knowledge by attempting to connect a random Hollywood personality to the show in less than six connections. Think of it as a Magnumized version of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. To be honest, I'm not sure how well it will work, but there's only one way to know.

To clarify: the random celebrity has to have worked on a movie or tv show with another for them to be "linked."

Here's a random example: Sean Connery.

1) Sean Connery worked with Catherine Zeta-Jones on Entrapment (1999)
2) Catherine Zeta-Jones was in Traffic with Michael Douglas (2000)
3) Michael Douglas was in Basic Instinct with Sharon Stone (1992)
4) Sharon Stone appeared in Echoes of the Mind (1984)

If you can do it in fewer connections or more creatively, you win.

The first personality drawn out of my magical hat is: Carrie Fisher. Good luck.

Sounds cool! Here's my try:

1 - Carrie Fisher worked with Matt Damon in Dogma
2 - Matt Damon worked with Ted Dansen in Saving Private Ryan
3 - Ted Dansen worked with Kirstie Alley on Cheers
4 - Kirstie Alley worked with Tom Selleck in Runaway

I'm thinking there's a shorter link out there though .....

DUH!!!!!

1 - Carrie Fisher worked with Matt Damon in Dogma
2 - Matt Damon worked with Ted Dansen in Saving Private Ryan
3 - Ted Dansen worked with Tom Selleck on Magnum, PI

Haha, I've got you all beat!

1. Carrie Fisher worked with Henry Gibson in The 'Burbs (Dr. Klopek!)
2. Henry Gibson worked with Tom Selleck in Magnum P.I. ("Mixed Doubles")

I guess I now get to pick the next actor. Let's see....

J.T. Walsh!

Okay, this was tough for me, especially since I've never heard of the guy - Thank you Wikipedia!

1) James Roday appeared with Burt Reynolds in the 2005 Dukes of Hazzard movie.
