6 Degrees of Mini Cooper

Alright movie fans, here's a little motoring game to pass the time on those long road trips:

Take any actor or actress and tie them to the Mini Cooper through six movies (or TV) or less.

For example:

George Clooney

George played in Ocean's 11 with Brad Pit
Brad was married to Jennifer Aniston who was in Friends with David Schwimmer who played in Band of Brothers with Donny Wahlberg the brother of Mark Wahlberg who stared in the Italian Job with the Mini Cooper.

Feel free to get as creative with this as you want, go with the New or old cooper, run with it have fun but most of all enjoy the drive.

Try this one:

David Duchovny (x-files, Evolution, Zoolander)

David Duchovny is married to Tea Leoni.
Tea Leoni was in the movie "Spanglish"
In the movie, Tea's character takes her non-english-speaking housekeeper outside to try to find someone to help translate her new working hours.
They find a guy next door washing his LY/W MCS to translate.
I missed what they were saying, focusing on the MINI.
Annette

Ok, try William Shatner.

or

Sandra Bullock played in Forces of Nature with Ben Affleck who played in Good will Hunting with Matt Damon who drove an original Mini in an awesome car chase in the move Borne Identity.
