I decided to play 6 Degrees Of Kevin Bacon with Mr. Roger's name - it was surpisingly short -
The Oracle of Bacon at Virginia
The Oracle says: Fred (I) Rogers has a Bacon number of 2.
Fred (I) Rogers was in Casper (1995) with Cathy Moriarty
Cathy Moriarty was in Digging to China (1998) with Kevin Bacon
And I tried the any actor/actress one for Mr. Rogers & LeVar Burton since they both did children's tv programing - (I used movies & tv)
Star Links
The Oracle says: LeVar Burton has a Fred (I) Rogers number of 3.
LeVar Burton was in Firestorm: 72 Hours in Oakland (1993) (TV) with Keone Young
Keone Young was in Golden Gate (1994/I) with George Guidall
George Guidall was in Divided Highways: The Interstates and the Transformation of American Life (1997) with Fred (I) Rogers
Boredom is a dangerous thing. I think I'll try them with JUST movies -
Star Links
The Oracle says: LeVar Burton has a Fred (I) Rogers number of 3.
LeVar Burton was in Star Trek: First Contact (1996) with Jack Shearer
Jack Shearer was in Golden Gate (1994/I) with George Guidall
George Guidall was in Divided Highways: The Interstates and the Transformation of American Life (1997) with Fred (I) Rogers
And now JUST TV -
The Oracle says: LeVar Burton has a Fred (I) Rogers number of 3.
LeVar Burton was in I Love Liberty (1982) (TV) with Walter Matthau
Walter Matthau was in Against Her Will: An Incident in Baltimore (1992) (TV) with Don Brockett
Don Brockett was in "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" (1967) with Fred (I) Rogers
No matter what it turns into three. The (I) BTW is because there's more then one Fred Rogers in their database. So I had to double-check the biography to make sure it was the right one.
