    I didn’t really start to think about this until earlier tonight. How do actors/actresses on OUAT connect to the rest of hollywood? It’s 6 degrees of Once Upon a Time, kinda like six degrees of Kevin Bacon.

    for example:

    Ginnifer Goodwin to Hayden Panettiere

    Ginnifer Goodwin was in Mona Lisa Smiles with Julia Roberts
    Julia Roberts starred with Hayden Panettiere in Fireflies in the Garden

    😀

    I just found this thread but I love these sort of activities so I’ll jump in. Be warned, however, that while I tend to be reasonably good at making connections through old classic movies (thanks to a misspent youth spent sneaking out of bed to watch the Late, Late movies on TV after my parents were asleep), I’m terrible with more modern works. The result is I tend to concoct long chains of connections and then other people point out “You could have done that in two steps”! So, here’s a challenge for everyone: try to improve my lists by shortening them to a more direct connection.

    Since Emma’s original job in her bailbonds business was essentially a bounty hunter, I thought of trying to connect her to famous bounty hunters on the screen. The first one I thought of was Steve McQueen’s character of Josh Randall in Wanted: Dead or Alive . Here’s my attempt at it:

    Jennifer Morrison – Once Upon a Time (2012), Star Trek (2009)
    Leonard Nimoy – Star Trek (2009), Fringe (2010)
    Blair Brown – Fringe (2010), The Rockford Files -“The Girl in the Bay City Boys Club” (1975)
    James Garner – The Rockford Files (1974-1980), The Great Escape (1963)
    Steve McQueen – The Great Escape (1963), Wanted: Dead or Alive (1958-1961)

    The other famous bounty hunter I thought of was Boba Fett in Star Wars. It turns out the first part of the above chain works for that one too. If we add the required new connections we get:

    Jennifer Morrison – Once Upon a Time (2012), Star Trek (2009)
    Leonard Nimoy – Star Trek (2009), Fringe (2010)
    Blair Brown – Fringe (2010), The Rockford Files -“The Girl in the Bay City Boys Club” (1975)
    James Garner – The Rockford Files (1974-1980), Toward the Unknown (1956)
    William Holden – Toward the Unknown (1956), Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)
    Alec Guinness – Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
    Jeremey Bulloch (Boba Fett) – The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
