Six Degrees of -- Kevin Bacon?

Free episodes:

Hey that's pretty cool Gene. Thing is, I tried 'Brian Cox' from 'Manhunter' and 'The Bourne Identity' etc, just cos he is from down the road from me a bit, but It came up with about 15 Brian Cox's to chose from without giving you data to see if you had the one you want!

As a bit of fun it pretty cool. How on earth did you stumble on that?
 
It's not new. It's gone on for years, starting when a couple of people actually were able to demonstrate to Kevin Bacon that virtually every person who has appeared in an American movie or scripted TV show can somehow be connected to Kevin Bacon with from one to six "degrees" or "levels." I've tried a bunch, and it hasn't failed yet, although you might run into a problem when multiple actors use the same name, such as Matt Smith ("Dr. Who").
