Thanks to a comment from someone in one of the GoT threads, and a heads up from katie71483 in the Pajiba Facebook group, we now know that Pedro Pascal appeared on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (If you are the knowledgeable commenter, clap your hands in the comments.) Upon researching the fact for myself (browsing IMDB when I was supposed to be working), I found that Buffy could easily serve as the new Kevin Bacon game. I will be using only television shows and names supplied by several Pajibans who had no idea why I needed them.

Charlie Hunnam

Charlie Hunnam is on Sons of Anarchy with Jeff Kober who played Rack/Zachary Kralik in four episodes of Buffy (1999-2002).

Amy Poehler

Ruth Wilson

Your turn!
