I got a haircut a couple days ago [Liam]

I recognize both these guys as me, but not necessarily at the same time.
(Incidentally, I should have left my hair long I think)
I honestly don't think I'm that special or anything, but here's a brief history of Hapa Camo in the news:
The infamous MIT-based blackjack team that took Las Vegas casinos for millions (see: the non-latifa Bringing Down the House) was composed largely of players of mixed asian-white-other descent, because of their ability to play different roles and backstories with their appearances.
A number of years ago a hapa went bad and made it on the FBI national top-10 list... The infamous flamboyantly gay serial killer Andrew Cunanan was most famous for shooting Versace outside his LA home. They called him a "chameleon" in the news, and in the ensuing manhunt, citizens of ALL 50 states in the union called in tips that they had personally seen him.
I've been thinking and talking a lot lately about the idea of "ethnic ambiguity" and how disguise-friendly it is as a trait. While my particular version is the "hapa camo" effect, there are countless other versions of this trait, from a variety of different origins.
(and I am totally joking about david carradine he sucks)
Cliff Curtis is nuts yall... he's the new Lou Diamond Phillips.
abrupt topic switch
I need someone to stump me in 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.
I'm begging you. I was at work late the other day, and I just sat there in gmail typing out a transcript of different actor solutions, and documenting the massive potential for abuse that "Ocean's 12" presents to the Kevin Bacon game.
[CLICK HERE] if you are really bored. My most recent defeat or near-stumping was Gael Garcia Bernal, though that's b/c he doesn't have any American movies (there is however a solution via a movie /w/ William Hurt thru "The Big Chill" to Kevin Kline who's in "A Fish Called Wanda" with Jamie Lee Curtis then to Kevin Bacon by way of Bill Paxton in "True Lies"... ok shutting up now).
For that matter, I'll take any two actors who could reasonably have 6 degrees between them... no "Charlie Chaplin" cheap shots. Shoot me something in the comments. Please, I beg of you! I need a fix...
(At this point I would like to thank Lester, Bob and Christina for introducing me to this horribly addictive mental exercise on the drive back from Vegas).
Oh I almost forgot, I will provide an awesome color-printed prize to participants who can provide me with a good actual- or near-stumping.
