Weird Kevin Bacon game occurrence

So I was just sitting around, and one of my friends called me to do the Kevin Bacon game (I'm somewhat known for my ability at this game). He and his friends are going through a variety of actors when one says "Mark Borchardt" Now, Mark Borchardt is most noted for being in "American Movie," which is a dead end, and doesn't really have any links. So I looked him up on the internet movie database, and saw that he was in "The One" with Jet Li. From there I was able to easily link him to Kevin Bacon. Now's where it gets odd. His friend starts claiming that no, no... Mark Borchardt was NOT in "The One" with Jet Li. Then I found this movie title... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328113/ It made me laugh a whole incredible lot

The Kevin Bacon Game is no fun anymore. He's been in way too many high profile flicks with other big name stars so the game is too easy now.

Honk!

Mark Borchardt is in The One. He was a doctor or scientist or something like that, I don't know I wasn't too into the movie. He's in it for about 5 seconds, long enough to poorly deliver a line. I remember because I paused the movie to stop and do the "hey it's that guy!" thing.

That short is a featurette from the DVD. From this DVD File review: http://www.dvdfile.com/software/revi...deo_4/one.html

"An odd little easter egg may be found on the second Special Features Menu page. I could access it with my computer mouse, but not my player cursor keys. Nevertheless, point to it and you'll find the hidden, circular The One symbol in the center of the page, just above The Many Faces of Jet Li. It's a short called Mark Borchardt is The One with Jet Li. Independent filmmaker Mark Borchardt, who had a cameo in The One, describes his experiences on the show and his background. Only 3:55 long, watch it to the very end; it's quite droll."

Hell, I'm only two moves away from him.

American Movie isn't really a dead end, Mike Schank was in Storytelling.
