6 Degrees of Separation from Jake Gyllenhaal

[jsrocks]

We all know the Kevin Bacon game. Now we're going to try to do it with Jake Gyllenhaal.

Links if you don't know what I'm talking about:
oracleofbacon.org/
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Kevin_Bacon
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separation

Post any actor/actress name and the person below has to try to match them within 6 degrees of separation from Jake. Type the connections you find. The connections have to be from films or tv.

EXAMPLE: John Slattery was in "Mona Lisa Smile" with Maggie Gyllenhaal. Maggie Gyllenhaal was in "Donnie Darko" with Jake. John Slattery has only 2 degrees of separation from Jake.

I'll start.

Colin Firth

[jbgish]

Amanda Seyfried

[jsrocks]

What was she in that connects her with Jake?

[eausavage]

uhm not sure i understand how it works, we should post an actor name and then find 6 point that he/she have in common with Gyllenhaal?
example
Daniel Craig
1 intense glance
2 dramatic charaters
3 sensible nature
4 higth professionality
5 courage in take some controversial role
6 no shame in showing his body naked in sex scene

It works in that way?

[jsrocks]

You have to find actors or actresses who have worked with Jake who can be connected to the person posted.

I posted Colin Firth.

Colin Firth was in "Mamma Mia" with Meryl Streep. Meryl Streep was in "Rendition" with Jake.

That was only 2 degrees of separation from Jake.

Now the next person can try Matt Damon.
