So, I kind of forgot about these for a couple weeks there… Sorry about that! But, I’ve got a couple ahead that are going to be a lot of fun to celebrate some new shows, new movies, and new-to-me shows. First up, it’s the Iron Man edition, featuring the man himself, Robert Downey Jr.!
Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Episode 4
Robert Downey Jr.
The man, the myth, the legend: I am Iron Man. This guy is brilliant. He’s had his problems, but he’s making a hell of a run these past few years with two major franchises in tow, Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes, and working with some of the best talent Hollywood has to offer. From Jude Law to Gwyneth Paltrow to our next Hollywood heavy hitter…
Tom Cruise! I love Tom Cruise, Scientology or not. He’s a brilliant actor, funny, serious, and hardcore.

In any case, 1 degree of separation is pretty good, so I’ll take it!
