It's amazing what a complete fit of boredom combined with three horrific
assignments that are more than a month overdue will do to the human mind
isn't it? But after reading this post I decided to come up with some
statistics, God help us.
The IMDb lists 153,628 movies. Of these, 165 have actors who appeared in
press gang in them, which makes for a probability of 0.1 percent that a PG
actor will appear in any randomly selected film.
I guess this means that we can look forward to 1 film in every thousand
relesed containing a press gang actor, in the long run that is.
I know this isn't strictly relevant to the whole "six degrees" thing. But
it took me all morning to figure this out...
