Six Degrees of Kermit T. Frog

[radionate]

Yeah! Let's do Mystery Men

Tom Waits was in Myster Men with Greg Kinnear
Greg was in Sabrina with Harrison Ford
Harrison was in The Empire Strikes Back with Frank Oz
Frank has a movie relationship with Kermit the Frog!

Nobody ever tried Donnie and Marie (I didn't even bother to look the movie up).

So do them, or do Chuck Jones (an easy and fun one)

 

[grail]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! i can do that one

one of my favorite bits of trivia is that Chuck Jones was in Innerspace.

Chuck Jones was in Innerspace with Martin Short

Martin Short was in Clifford with Charles Grodin

Charles Grodin was in Great Muppet Caper with Kermit

how about Peter Weller?

That would be an easy cheat, since we already did Lithgow through Buckaroo Banzai.
So, I will try it another route....
Peter Weller was in Robo Cop with Miguel Ferrer who was in TWIN PEAKS with Heather Graham who was in BOWFINGER with Steve Martin who was in the Muppet Movie with Kermit

That was harder than I thought it'd be. I wanted to start with Of Unknown Origin just to show off. But the only character from that movie I could remember besides him was the rat, and although it was a puppet, I doubt it ever worked with Kermie


How about Peter Boyle?

Actually I thought we did that one pages ago. He was in Cannonball Run (as a sheik if memory serves) with Dom Deluise who was in the Muppet Movie with Kermit

Easy.
Peter Boyle was in Young Frankenstein with Cloris Lechman
Cloris was in The Muppet Movie with Kermit the Frog

If you wanted to go a different route (we've used Cloris before) you could go:
Teri Garr in Mr. Mom with Michael Keeton
Michael was in Multiplicity with Andie McDowel
Andie was in Muppets From Space with Kermit the Frog

hmmmm.....lets try Sterling Holloway now.

That one is a noodle scratcher. I already did Mad(X4) World - Milton Berle - Mupper Movie so I don't want to copy myself.
He mostly did voices for Disney and Television....
The only other movie I can remember him in is the 60s Batman, so here goes.....

Sterling Holloway was in BATMAN with Burgess Meredith who was in Grumpy Old Men with Jack Lemmon Who was in MY FELLOW AMERICANS with Dan Aykroyd who was in SEARGENT BILKO with Steve Martin who was in THE MUPPET MOVIE with Kermit.


James Mason? Should be easy,k but I also thought Steling Holloway would be a snap!

Okay, James Mason, huh? Here goes, man.

James Mason was in Heaven Can Wait with Warren Beatty
Warren Beatty was in Dick Tracy with James Caan
James Caan was in Silent Movie with Dom DeLuise
Dom DeLuise was in the Muppet Movie with Kermit the Frog

Okay, how about Brad Pitt? Has he been done yet? If he has, how about my least favorite person on Earth, Paul Walker?

James Mason is a fun one.

James was in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea with Kirk Douglas
Kirk was in Greedy with Michael J. Fox
Michael was in The American President with Annette Bening
Annette was in Mars Attacks with Martin Short
Martin was in Father of the Bride (parts one and two) with Steve Martin
Steve was in The Muppet Movie with Kermit the Frog!!!

Whew. That was a round about way to get there. Did it in 6 degrees though!

Now, how about Jim Varney? (it's a one stepper)
And since that's sooo easy, lets do Carl Switzer!!!!

Let's see:

Paul Walker was in Varsity Blues with James Van Der Beek
James was in Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back with Carry Fisher
Carry was in The Empire Strikes Back with Frank Oz
Frank had a small role in The Muppet Movie with Kermit The Frog

Brad Pitt was in Thelma and Louise with Susan Sarandon
Susan was in The Rocky Horror Picture Show with Tim Currey
Tim was in Muppet Treasure Island with Kermit the Frog

Ok, Carl Switzer and Jim Varney are still my challenge! No takers yet?

 

[AnthonyF3]

I got both of them.

Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer was in It's a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart
Jimmy Stewart was in Fievel Goes West with Dom DeLuise
Dom Deluise was in The Muppet Movie with Kermit the Frog

Jim Varney was in Toy Story with John Ratzenberger
John Ratzenberger was in Monsters Inc. with Frank Oz
Frank Oz and Kermit did some stuff together.

How about Bruce Campbell?
