Ok. I don't watch Grey's Anatomy so is this the guy you were talking about, Kelly? If so .. here goes. If not, then he's an extra:
The only movie I remember him being in was Mobsters ... it was a baaaaad movie but oh well... and the only person I can think of in that movie other than him was Christian Slater... Patrick to Christian
Christian to Winona Ryder in Heathers
Winona to Alec Baldwin in Beetlejuice
Alec to James Earl Jones in Hunt for Red October
JEJ to Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams
Kevin to Kevin in JFK
10. Danny Bonaducci
Ok, I have to admit this one has me REALLY stumped. I can't think of one single movie where I have seen Danny, so I am going to try this from the television angle, at least at first to get Danny out of tv.
Danny Bonaducci to David Cassidy in The Partridge Family
And that is where I get stuck. I just don't know enough about the Partridge Family. I know that Shirley Jones was the mom, and I am sure that she appeared in an episode of two of The Love Boat. But even trying to get THAT connection out of there is too hard. I will have to think on this one. So I will admit defeat on this one.
*************************************************************
Ok. I think I have this one figured out. I did have to cheat just once ... to see if I knew that this person was actually in this movie. So this one really can't be claimed a victory, I don't think.
Danny to Shirley in the Partridge Family
Shirley to Gavin McLeod (isn't that him ... Captain Steubing) on The Love Boat
Gavin to Mary Tyler Moore in The Mary Tyler Moore Show
MTM to Elizabeth McGovern (this is where I cheated) in Ordinary People
Elizabeth McGovern to Kevin in She's Having a Baby
There. I did it.
11, 12, and 13 I will play tomorrow with people you, my readers shout out to me. I am tired. It is late, and I intended on being in bed over an hour ago.
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well!

I'm a mom of three peeps ... Queen Bee, The Door Man, and the Chandelier Monkey, and wife to Ace, the Helpful Hardware Man. I created this space to get away from the people known as my inlaws, and because life with three kids and a hubby is all Unexplored Territory.
The nine-year-old who seems to be growing older every minute, has an opinion and a comment for everything, and has a true servant's heart.
The seven-year-old who loves the organization of things, will someday be someone's therapist because of his kind soul, and will more than likely be living with us until he is 40 years old.
The five-year-old with the 13-year-old attitude, who has a dictator's personality, asks you to watch her all the time and say "hold on" to keep your attention, and will someday come home on the back of some dude's motorcycle with 10 tatts and a body piercing or two.
The man of the house, the fixer of things, the winner of prizes, and the only person in his family to escape the South.

Fun list!! I am going to come back to see if you can make the Danny Bonoducci link! If you can do that, then you are the master and should get an award of some type!
Ok girl you are just tooo good! I didn't remember Gary Busey was in the Firm! Your actor knowledge far exceeds mine!!! If ever I find myself on a game show and I have the "phone a friend option" it'll be you!!!
Lol! Vey funny and then in the middle you chucked in Tom Skerritt too ~ hubba!
an interesting idea for a list ;)
Wow, how long did it take you to come up with that (scary thought, I don't think it took you very long)
:)
Happy TT!
Honestly, I did a few mentally ahead of time (Sissy Spacek took me some time, really). The others I did on the fly last night. And it took me about 45 minutes with the thinking and the typing.
The Danny Bonaducci one still bugs me. Wasn't he on one of those VH1 reality shows,too? I know that Shirley was on at least one Love Boat, but I would have to link her through the regular cast because that is just unfair to link her through the whole show when she might not have been in an episode with that person.
i have to go find the link, but my alma mater UVA did an online game to see if you could enter someone with more degrees of separation to Kevin Bacon. The highest i ever got was 3!
Woman..you rock..that had to take so much TIME!
Nobody can top you at this game..you OWN it!
Oh, this is FUN! The Bacon Oracle actually lists Danny Bonaduce with a Bacon Number of only 2... but I'd never seen either movie.
OMG, you thought all that through? Yikes, no wonder you are tired, well, and you're a wife and mommy.
Darla! Are you SERIOUS? I have to go check that out and bow down to the prowess.
YOU ROCK!!!
Yes, that's the guy. I do watch Grey's anatomy and obviously didn't know his name (duh).
And I realized later my George Clooney suggestion was WAYYYYY too easy;)
By the way, how is it a person can be hooked on Battlestar Galactica, yet NOT WATCH GREYS ANATOMY???
Okay - answering my own question. They're probably not all that much alike...
Wow... how you keep up with all that is beyond me :-).
Stephanie, it is called worthless information recall. Seriously. I will be talking to friends, and I have to preface EVERYthing with about 5 minutes on why I decided to talk about that particuar subject before I even get into the subject itself. I am sure many of my friends just want to throw a rope into my mouth and drag out the information themselves.
Woohoo! You do rock. And I don't mind that you fudged a bit on Danny Bonaducci.
And yes, he's on a VH1 reality show. He might have been on more than one, but I caught 5 minutes (I was sucked in, like watching a train wreck) of Breaking Bonaducci where his wife kicked him out.
Anyhow, bravo!
I didn't do a TT this week, but I have a great post dedicated to Pman.
That was fun! I enjoyed your TT!
That was so much fun. And a great pic of Kevin!
Have a great Thursday!
wow, you are good.
nice picture of Kevin.
I am impressed! Wow!
Fun!
