Link The Actors!

Bascially, this site will attempt to link any two actors together, going off the movies they have been in. Co-stars and co-actors are all taken into account. The key elemant is the "degrees of seperation" that are attained, or rather the number of movies apart that the two actors are. For example:
Sean Connery has a Naomi Kawashima number of 2.
Sean Connery was in Untouchables, The (1987) with Billy Drago
Billy Drago was in Doll in the Dark, A (1997) with Naomi Kawashima
In this case, only 2 films seperated the two. The highest myself and my roomates have found is 5. See if you can beat it! (and trust me, we tried a lot of stuff. We had random Asian porn stars match with German actors from 1911)

Christopher Legg cannot be linked to Lambert Wilson using only feature films.
About 12% of all actors cannot be linked to the rest of the movie universe, either because they have appeared only in TV features or straight-to-video releases that the Oracle doesn't count, or because they have not appeared in any features with actors from the Hollywood mainstream.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

6 degrees to Kevin Bacon. The actual theory is that everyone in the world is linked to everyone else by no more than 5 people.
EDIT: I've outwitted it! Using both Movies AND TV as the basis, it could not connect these two:
