Six Degrees of Gay Separation: How Awful About Alan edition

As it's Thursday, we present to you another installment of Six Degrees of Gay Separation, the time-sink that asks you to connect two gay actors via other gay actors or actors playing gay characters.

Last week's Italian Stallion edition asked you to connect Mario Cantone to Steven Spinella, which several enterprising readers were able to do in just a few steps. The charming (and former Avatar-of-the-Week-winning) Brandon68 won by noting that both actors guested on the series Ed. Granted, they weren't in the same episode (which would have been fabulous), but they technically were on the same show. Again, this is all in fun, so we won't be too restrictive with the rules. So while actually sharing screen time or appearing in the same episode would be a best-case scenario, this is totally legit.

Fellow Avatar superstar kcholt68 (what's with the 68s? was it a particularly fertile year?) played the Mouse Hunt trump card, so I am officially removing Mouse Hunt from the game. No more. Mouse Hunt has become the wire hangers of this game -- curse you, Gore Verbinski! CURRRSE YOUUUUUUU!

Anyway, this week's challenge asks you to connect two guys named Alan: posthumously-outed Welsh actor Sir Alan Bates and bisexual (and still living, at last check) actor Alan Cumming. Have fun! Oh -- the headline refers to a fabulous made-for-TV movie from the 70's starring Anthony Perkins. If you haven't seen it, it's worth tracking down.
