Can you trace Owen Wilson's Degrees of Fresno?
The Beehive has conjured up what we believe is a fun new game. It's called The Degrees of Fresno. The point: Connect famous folks to Fresno, in the fashion of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. It's simple: We'll pick a famous person and it's your task to connect them back to Fresno via co-stars, marriages, collaborations, etc.
For example: Heath Ledger > procreated with Michelle Williams > Joanna Kerns (director on Dawson's Creek) = lived in Fresno. Or Heath Ledger > starred with Matt Damon (The Brother Grimm) > starred with Cher (Stuck on You) = lived in Fresno.
Fun, right? So to start things off, we're tossing Owen Wilson out there. He's got that "Drillbit Taylor" movie out now. Rather timely, we thought.
Without further ado, Owen Wilson vs.

Props to Ernie on that one.
I was thinking about Molale, but never worked out that connection. I have one in my head, but I'm gonna wait and see if anybody else gets it before I post it.
