Hey all, I've been thinking about this for a while now and have been trying to test it out a little bit in my mind before posting it, but I think it may actually work out pretty well. So let me explain if you didn't figure it out from the topic name;

Since the Roseanne show had a ton of guest stars, future stars, etc. I thought it might be fun to try to play the "Kevin Bacon" game with this show. Basically, person A will name an actor (hopefully not too obscure, otherwise it may not work!) then, person B will look through movies and find actors that the person has been in movies with to try and make a connection to someone on the Roseanne show. Whoever figures it out will then post the next actor to be connected to. Sound complicated? Let me give an example.

Person A says "Robin Williams"

Roseanne - Martin Mull
Martin Mull - Mrs. Doubtfire - Robin Williams

Mrs. Doubtfire starred Robin Williams, so there is an easy connection. But you can do as many steps as you want, so say person A says Gary Oldman instead. Person B might put it together like this:

Roseanne - Martin Mull
Martin Mull - Mrs. Doubtfire - Pierce Brosnan
Pierce Brosnan - Goldeneye - Robbie Coltrane
Robbie Coltrane - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - Gary Oldman

See? It took a few more steps, but hopefully it makes sense to everyone.

I know this is like borderline off-topic, but since we are always stemming from Roseanne, I think it's fair play, right? Well, lets give it a try, if nobody likes this game then it will be laid to rest.

So I'll start.

Make a connection to Kate Winslet

Since Leonardo DiCaprio was on a Roseanne episode, you could connect to Kate to Roseanne through Leonardo and "Titanic".

Heist81: What a terrific idea for a new game! Thanks!

Next: Clint Eastwood (I had originally put Meryl Streep, but there's no round-about connection there-- Roseanne co-starred in the film, She-Devil, with Meryl Streep)

It helps to have the answer beforehand but if someone can figure it out and surprise you, that's ok too. I'll try this one a little later.
