Six Degrees of Michael Bay

You know how this works.

You don't?

Now you do.

Someone names an actor who has never been in a Michael Bay film, and you have to connect them with an actor who was, in as few links as possible. For (an obviously fictional) example, Bill Stevens was in Harry Potter and the Who Gives a Crap with Butt McDairyQueen, Butt McDairyQueen was in John Grisham's Boring Lawyer Drama with Scarlett Johansson, and Scarlett Johansson was in The Island, which was directed by Michael Bay.

You can't post a new name until you've successfully done this.

P.S. Michael Bay is awful, and this topic is in no way an endorsement of his terrible films.

Let's start with:

Tom Hanks.

I love this game, I'm a total cinephile. So here's my offering:
Tom Hanks starred in The Green Mile with Michael Clarke Duncan, who was in Armageddon, directed by Michael Bay.
If that is too obvious I apologize, but The Green Mile is one of my favorite movies, I've seen it several times.

I was getting ready to post one that I came up with, since it seemed like nobody was interested in the topic:

Tom Hanks was in Saving Private Ryan with Matt Damon, who was in Ocean's Twelve with Bruce Willis, who was in Armageddon.

Or a shorter one:

Tom Hanks was in Saving Private Ryan with Tom Sizemore, who was in Pearl Harbor.

Anyway, you get to choose the next actor. It has to be someone who's never been in a Bay film.

I choose Christian Slater, because you can go in a lot of directions with him, (Possibly not so easy to do a single degree of separation, but fun nonetheless.)

I didn't know this had a name. I've been playing my own version of this since I was 10. In my version you just name two random actors (if they've been in the same film, you just ignore it).

Alright, if nobody else will play, I will:

Christian Slater was in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves with Alan Rickman, who was in Die Hard with Bruce Willis, who was in Armageddon.

Next: Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt was in Fight Club with Edward Norton, who was in The Incredible Hulk with Liv Tyler, who was in Armageddon.

Aww, man. Nobody likes this topic. You guys suck.

Anyway. USMCnBNSFdude got one. I'll list another name:

Edward Norton.

I'll do this one, since I can't trust you guys...

Edward Norton was in Red Dragon with Harvey Keitel, who was in Rising Sun with Sean Connery, who was in Michael Bay's The Rock.

Next actor!

Benedict Cumberbatch.

Don't disappoint me.

Benedict Cumberbatch was in Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) with Jeff Chase (I), who was in Pain & Gain (2013), directed by Michael Bay.

Next up: Harrison Ford
