This made me remember a webpage that using IMDB would calculate the degrees of separation between Nicolas Cage and the input person (actress, director...) of your choice.
I did a quick search and couldn't find it. Does anybody remember it? I'm wondering if my memory or my search skills are failing or if it has simply disappeared.

- richrichardsson 5y agoI've only ever heard of something similar, the Bacon Number, which is the degrees of separation between a given person and Kevin Bacon [1]. My Bacon Number is 2, having been an extra in Alexander, which featured Connor Paolo, who was in Mystic River with Kevin Bacon.
