“”X-Men” Cast Members’ Six (REALLY ONE!) Degrees Of Separation!”

“X-Men” fans! Let’s have some FUN!

Here is OUR list of the “X-Men” film trilogy’s actors, actresses, and film making crew, who have also worked together on OTHER film projects, often co-starring one on one outside of the “X-Men” film universe!

Hugh Jackman (Logan/Wolverine) and Halle Berry (Storm) acted together in the crazy, sexy, cool, spy thriller, “Swordfish”, also starring a rather excellent, menacing John Travolta in 2001! (We LOVE this film by the way!)

Hugh, as usual, stole the movie, in his emotionally driven, wonderful performance, playing Stanley Jobson, a poorer than a church mouse, computer hacker with a heart of gold, desperately trying to get custody of his beloved daughter back from his witch of an ex-wife, only to find himself extorted against his will, into working for Travolta’s character, international, super villain Gabriel Shear.

Halle played Ginger, a Sexalicious double agent working for and playing both sides for the DEA/CIA and Travolta’s evil Gabriel.

Let’s just say some sparks DID fly a bit between Hugh and Halle, especially when she pulled a gun on him dressed in lingerie that would make Victoria’s Secret, (and we’re sure HUGH), proud!

Hugh, turned up the charm, and turned out of course to be the ONE person in “Swordfish” who we KNOW was working for the GOOD guys, of course saving the day as a HERO! Halle, well, let’s say she had….ulterior agendas!

Famke Janssen (Dr. Jean Grey) and Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler) co-starred as 2 Super nasty villains in 1995’s James Bond entry, “Goldeneye”!

Famke played the deliciously, evil, sex siren, uber vixen, villainous, Xenia Onatopp, who killed her foes by crushing the life out of them with her….thighs!

We just LOVE her gleeful, malevolent, laugh as she takes wicked pleasure in squishing men until they pop in “Goldeneye”!

Alan played over the top, campy, baddie, Russian, computer expert, Boris Grishenko.

We personally think Famke’s….more than OVER the top performance as Xenia, (See, Xenia begins with an X…so “X-Men” was already in her Hollywood destiny stars!), Onatopp would prove a worthy evil match for her upcoming turn as Dark Phoenix in “X-Men: The Last Stand”!

Sir Ian McKellen (Magneto/Eric Lansherr) and Bruce Davison (Senator Kelly) acted together in the film, GET THIS!, actually called, “Six Degrees Of Separation” in 1993!

Ian played Geoffrey and Bruce played Larkin!

James Marsden (Scott Summers/Cyclops) and Director Bryan Singer are CURRENTLY, now, working together again on this summer 2006’s blockbuster, “Superman Returns”!

James will be portraying the character of Richard White, taking cues from Bryan’s always magnificent, directorial guidance!

And this is just OUR list!

We INVITE, YOUR COMMENTS, right HERE, as to what OTHER film projects, besides the “X-Men” film trilogy, that the “X-Men” film trilogy cast members and crew have ALSO starred and worked together in….or are currently….collaborating in together!

We want to wish you all a very HAPPY “X-MEN” day!!!!

(It’s a NEW holiday, we just declared!)
